that students are self-guided through partof the instruction. Lastly, class time is organized in such a way that the instructor spends overhalf of the time working directly with individuals and small groups. This gives the students anopportunity to have explanations individually catered to their level of understanding, as well asplenty of time for peer and instructor assistance with debugging.The course initially ran under the new model in Spring, 2013. The course ran for 15 weeks andhad 37 students split into two different sections. There were no teaching assistants. Feedbackfrom the students indicated that they benefitted greatly from the course design. Improvementsfor the second iteration of the new course model, which will occur in Spring

It is also ofimportance to note that there are culture gaps in the learning pedagogy of today’s students such that it is ofsignificance to connect the education of the students to the local community and for K-12 education systemto transition to project-based learning.1.

Many recent studieshave attempted to clarify how innovation occurs by investigating the personal characteristics3,4,processes5,6, and environments7 that support and align with innovation. While these studies oftensuggest certain core facets, they also describe innovation as a diverse phenomenon with manypotential pathways. For example, Ferguson and colleagues3 identified 20 characteristics ofengineering innovators through an iterative, qualitative approach. They noted that while expertsreached strong consensus on the comprehensive list of characteristics, there is likely substantialvariation in the characteristics among individual engineering innovators.

As a result, students tend to lack the confidence (atthe end of their bachelor’s degree) that they are capable of tackling the complex problems, whichsociety currently faces. If students are educated in engineering departments, then they also oftenlack the scientific approach to problem solving required that goes far beyond simply applyingexisting equations, but requires acts of creativity10, 11. There is therefore a need to educatestudents on scientific and creative approaches to solve hydrological and environmental problems.Additional issues are relevant if the hydrology education takes place in an engineeringdepartment.

The net contention of both methodshere is to describe the situation of the world at hand through either human knowing (direct) orbeing (indirect).   As an example, a type of research that would benefit greatly from an indirect orexistential analysis is teaming research in engineering education and beyond.

Mathematics was excluded, per the commentary of StudentE, due to the fact that she did not use math through differential equations on her design project.Eight outcomes were achieved to the desired bachelor’s LOA; 12 outcomes may be achieved to aLOA beyond that required for the B.S. degree; and 2 outcomes were achieved to some extent butbelow that which is desired in a B.S. degree.
