This balance with concrete experience is especially needed in “building-block”courses that create the foundation for advanced design courses. If we expect students to performwell with open-ended, project-centered problems, we need to provide a pedagogical basis acrossthe entire undergraduate curriculum. This paper presents such a basis for one importantengineering core topic: mechanics of materials. Active learning concepts applied in mechanicsof materials courses are discussed, including specific examples of hands-on, multimedia, andgroup design exercises.1.

The IoT and AI may impact the optimization of processes via theincorporation of data into simulations for troubleshooting and continuous improvement ofequipment performance, resulting in greater operational efficiencies through increased equipmentutilization [17]. This data can also be incorporated into generative design for factory/equipmentdesign, materials selection, and procurement with more emphasis in the future on sustainabilityconsiderations [14].

purpose of science writingfor an expert audience is to demonstrate fact—what exists, what occurred, and what caused it.The purpose of science writing for the general public, on the other hand, is often celebratory.This celebratory writing is the genre of epideictic rhetoric, or ceremonial rhetoric. The purposeof this type of writing is not to establish whether and why something occurred, but to celebratethe accomplishments of science (or in our case, engineering).Writers usually celebrate science, Fahnestock argues, by appealing to a general audience in oneor two (or both) ways: by appealing to the inherent wonder of the subject or to its application

emphasis on learningby doing or practice rather than formal learning in science. This teaching strategy was supportedby the preference of industrial employers for graduates who “could step right into jobs.” Theengineering colleges also focused mostly on teaching rather than research. After 1900, there wasan increase in research at a few universities, but the research involved materials testing andprojects focusing on specific problems facing industries and state government officials. Industryfunded research was rare, but when it was, they expected practical results rather than theoreticalresearch [8]. Thus, in the early 20th century, most engineering schools emphasized the how ratherthan the why [7].According to Seely [7], it was only after 1945

Page 11.467.3The term hybrid implies that the course could cover a range of topics from microbiology,biology, toxicology, limnology, etc. What is the incentive to offer a hybrid course? Oneincentive is that many traditional microbiology courses put too much emphasis on topics neededfor medical school and include only brief discussions on environmental biological topics. Inaddition, faculty within an environmental engineering program should be most familiar withareas that are covered in subsequent courses, which could allow a more streamlined presentationof material. Thirdly, this allows the program coordinators to thread this course with otherprogram courses thereby enhancing "higher level" learning in other program courses. Table 2
