Thecourse is unique because this is one of the few courses in the nation and DEM is anemerging technology in numerical methods. This course is also innovative due to theextensive faculty-students interaction during the lectures, computer lab work, and studentprojects. In addition, the DEM application in student research projects has been verysuccessful in the past few years. The DEM was applied in soil compaction, aggregatecompaction, and asphalt mixture modeling simulation. The research work at otheruniversities was reviewed and summarized. In order to introduce the advances of theDEM to the graduate curriculum, some materials such as soil, sand, and asphalt

The funds were envisioned to provide the timeneeded by the participating faculty to develop project ideas and research plans for undergraduateand graduate students to engage in research and exploration on special topics not normallycovered in the current program courses. The intent was to inspire the students’ creativity andimagination to conduct additional research on special topics with faculty mentors, disseminatetheir findings to the broader public, and earn college credit for their efforts.

Therefore, most engineeringeducators seek experiential learning techniques and implementations pioneering and captivating tohelp students understand and exercise the engineering concepts they learned2. Although laboratory-based learning allows students to deduce and apply concepts, this more commonly used approach istypically limited by the physical laboratory resources, unlike many current approaches2,3,4.

distributed assessment provided true “academic” benefits or whether it simply actedas a mechanism to encourage students to remain current with the course’s subject matter.IntroductionTeaching innovations such as the flipped classroom and the studio format are a result ofinstructors seeking methods to improve their ability to teach. The literature generally agrees onthe overall improvement in student achievement provided by these approaches, despite havingthe benefits being downplayed by published results that are largely based on heuristicobservations and qualitative surveys rather than empirical validation with quantitative data5.While the flipped classroom does seem to have many advantages, it also contains issues that mayactually hinder student
