Experience has shown that productive and profitable collaborationsbetween universities, industries, and the private sector are most successful in a campus-likeenvironment where multidisciplinary colleagues collectively participate in professional research,development, and education. In our case, two new facilities are planned that will supportsubsurface science initiatives: the Center for Science and Technology (CST) and the SubsurfaceGeosciences Laboratory (SGL).

Over 75% of the students found the onlinecourse materials (distributed via the LMS platform), hands-on experiments, and undergraduatecourse assistants were either supportive or very supportive of new learning. Further, greater than50% of the students found the remaining instructional strategies were either supportive or verysupportive of new learning. These findings suggest that the materials and approaches used areappropriate to promote learning in a design-led laboratory setting.Conclusions: Overall, significant progress has been made in the development, deployment

Therefore it is essential to integrate computer-based simulations with hardware interface into the curriculum in a systematicmanner. It is clear that computer-based simulation and analysis is indispensablein engineering science and design.A curriculum is being developed in which analysis methods are synchronizedwith a core set of software tools. Instruction in these tools will be geared towardsteaching students how to use these sophisticated tools. It will also emphasize howto understand and interpret the results using experimental, theoretical andnumerical concepts. By combining analysis, simulation, and

Presently, the course is offered each Fall term(September to December) to approximately 200 second-year students, who are divided into 2lecture cohorts of approximately 100 students and 6 laboratory cohorts of approximately 33students.For

Mills et. al. [9, 10] argue that the current engineering programs do notprovide sufficient design experience to students. Because of this, graduates often lackcommunication skills and teamwork experience. Engineering programs need to develop moreawareness among students of the social, environmental, economic, and legal issues. These issuesare better addressed in a project-based learning

Simulation technology covers a broad range fromcomputerized systems to computerized solutions of engineering problem formulations usingmathematical physics modeling, numerical methods, and high performance computing; all ofwhich broadly influences all engineering disciplines. Pedagogy of integration of simulationtechnology into the undergraduate engineering curriculum and pedagogy of computer-assistedlearning are related.

While none of the leadership experiences are exactly thesame, there are common elements of each experience. Specifically, the students must self-identify a volunteer (non-paying) organization in which they are engaged. They must
