This objective is particularly relevant to the CSM, a school with a long tradition ofleadership in resource and minerals fields, but with a strong commitment to stewardship ofglobal resources.Incorporation and implementation of humanitarian projects into Senior Design is but onecomponent of the new curriculum, which extends to the development of new courses,modification of existing courses, and outreach activities. The focus of this article is on thehumanitarian projects in Senior Design, but more information on the overall program can befound at the CSM website (http://humanitarian.mines.edu/home.htm).Four specific goals of the Humanitarian

crop cycles currently dominatingMaryland and Pennsylvania farms. This program is formulated as a project-based learning(PBL) initiative. In particular, the program is a Capstone Design 2-semester course thatadditionally has design and build criteria as a requirement. Completion of this project is arequirement for graduation, and students usually take the capstone design course in their senioryear. Because this course is within the Engineering and Computer Science curriculum of thecollege, however, many of the topics that the students are required to learn are well outside oftheir typical course requirements. In this paper, we detail the approach to having undergraduatestudents research and master multiple technology areas and then apply them

the impacts of engineering solutionsin a societal context. Also, if S-L projects replace traditional analytical exercises in courses, theoverall workload will typically not increase for the students. If students are motivated to spendmore time on S-L projects, they are free to do so and should learn more in the process.The approach of S-L, with its roots in experiential learning, is consistent with the theories andempirical research of a number of leading educators and developmental psychologists, asdocumented by Brandenberger3 and Jacoby1. The approach is also consistent with the recentchange in paradigm in education from a focus on teaching to a focus on learning1,3.

They concluded that this method could work but wonderedif it would scale to large groups.The use of oral presentations is common in team projects, but predominantly their use inassessment is for presentation skills (Meseguer-Duenas et al. for example [5]). Presentationskills are another required outcome in ABET [1].For our purposes, we wanted to assess individual knowledge/competence/contribution ratherthan presentation skills and decided to use both an assessment by the students through CATMEand an individual oral exam given in the presence of both

In the real word, of course, asignificant amount of interaction and cooperation between architects, engineers and constructionpersonnel is required for the successful completion of any project.
