Colleges. After discussing the program withthe leaders from two tribal college test locations, a curriculum was created. The test locationswere chosen because of their geographic diversity and their technical thrust. The curriculumpresently consists of six courses: Introduction to College Mathematics and Science (a systemscourse), Topographic Surveying, Introduction to Engineering, Design of a Wind Farm, SolarDesign, and an Overview of Energy Resources. A key course in the curriculum is a review ofenergy resources. This course provides an overview of both traditional as well as alternativeenergy resources. A life-cycle approach is used to investigate each energy resource: oil and gas,coal, hydro, geothermal, nuclear, solar, wind, biomass, and

The foundation of the proposed model is laid in the first semester of thefreshman year by introduction of a formal course in fundamentals of engineering design andreinforced in the second semester by a course that brings the elements of liberal arts andhumanities into perspective.

Studentsusually see analysis as being theoretical while design is seen as dealing with practical issues,whereas in fact analysis and design are closely intertwined.At Penn State we are attempting to integrate various parts of the curriculum by developingproject design examples that cover analysis and design of structural components within thecontext of a complete structural system. This approach has already been implemented in ourcourse on design of concrete structures and we are currently developing the modules for ourstructural analysis course.As part of the assessment process, a baseline test has been developed to assess the student'sunderstanding of structural engineering concepts at various stages of their development.II.

integrated throughout the professional component of thecurriculum.” The new reference to “more than one civil engineering context” is intended toensure that students can perform design in at least two civil engineering contexts that aresignificantly different from each other. One unambiguous way to satisfy this criterion would befor the curriculum to include required design experiences in more than one civil engineeringtechnical area. For example, a program that requires its students to design both a reinforcedconcrete building frame (a structural engineering context) and a deep foundation (a geotechnicalengineering context) would be in compliance. Conversely, a program that requires its students todesign only a reinforced concrete structure and a

Thisteaching approach meets the intent of providing the student with a basic level of understanding inthe discipline.1 Environmental engineers as well as engineers in other engineering disciplines,however, apply their skills in a dynamic environment where single solutions are the exceptionrather than the rule.
