Although traditionally a hallmark of chemical engineering education,historically, civil engineering education has presented diffusion concepts as a “just in time” toolto solve particular problems. However, a change in this presentation paradigm is necessary if thediscipline is to meet one of the major challenges of the 21 st century. It is anticipated thattomorrow’s employers will give junior engineers assignments that require an expandedexperience and knowledge base of such concepts so that they will be able to immediately relateto and work effectively within interdisciplinary engineering and science teams.

in Engineering Statics1 IntroductionA thorough understanding of basic science and engineering concepts is one of the core objectivesof engineering education. It is frequently observed that for many students, typical introductorycourses are not successful in generating such an understanding. Studies show that this contributesto high drop-out rates in technical (STEM) fields. 1,2,3 Changes in the instructional settings, suchas incorporating more active learning formats, can help enhance learning outcomes, but effectiveinstruction in introductory science and engineering may require more than the mere adoption of aproper learning format. Educational research based in the science disciplines, especially inphysics, has identified specific
