stimulate the growth of students’ cognitive domains.Instead, many current classroom practices rely on rigid theory, disconnected facts, andcomputational recipes. Such an approach fails to relate to students’ everyday experiences in lifeoutside the classroom. Consequently, when classroom instruction fails to connecttheory/facts/procedures with students’ conceptualization of ideas, it results in a loss ofsignificance, i.e., students can neither recall nor appreciate the significance of their classroomlearning. Alternatively, the ability to recall theory/facts/procedures and their significance allowsstudents to apply ideas more effectively and develop higher-order thinking to synthesize newconcepts.

skills, effort,initiative, and creativity?While these questions, and many others like them are valid and should be discussed in academiccircles, there is no single answer that will satisfy all educators. Further, it is not the intent of thispaper to attempt to provide rational argument to sway the opinions of other engineeringprofessors. It is the intent of this paper to discuss the concept of rewarding competency andcompliancy with grades less than an ‘A’, and discuss incentive factors developed to encouragestudents to strive for excellence. Specific examples will be given based on two years experienceteaching a senior level course in wastewater treatment that requires a plant design project as asubstantial portion of the final grade.I have
