. Following the recommendation ofprevious mentors and that found in engineering education literature1, this course focused in-classactivities, lectures and assignments on a limited number of core transportation topics.The course met for three 50-minute periods each week. These class periods were used tointroduce topics, cover material through lecture, activities, discussions and homework review.The classroom portion of the class was operated to provide the students with an active/participatory learning environment.The course was loosely structured for 1,000-points possible: 371-points for homework andquizzes, 100-points each for the WebCT discussions, in-class discussions and final exam, 350-points for a semester long research project, 50-point team

This is notmerely a local trend. The National Academy of Engineering and National Research Council(2005) confirms that domestic supply of qualified workers is not keeping up with the skilldemands in fields that require strong backgrounds in science, technology, engineering andmathematics.

Second, industry’s prevailingperception that engineering education does not prepare graduates adequately for the practice.Therefore, from industry’s perspective, the quality of education for engineering practice is seenas deficient.
