Throughoutthe course, students are introduced to programming languages including Python and PHP,advanced programming concepts such as using sockets for inter-process communication

Therefore, a paradigm shift is necessary to educate students torecognize sustainability as a changing constraint in construction.As construction industry demands for graduates with broader understanding of impact ofconstruction projects on environment and overall quality of life, universities have tried to come upwith innovative ways to teach students with knowledge of sustainability concepts. However, dueto already full construction management curriculum it has been a challenge to equip students withvarious sustainable solutions. One of the solutions to this

Faculty then use class time to review this material, reducing the time that can be spenton the objectives of the course such as engineering design, professional correspondence, andimproving technical writing and presentations skills. To solve this problem, we have created aset of online instructional materials that can be used by students in an EnvironmentalEngineering capstone course to ensure that they have mastered the prerequisite material beforeand while engaging on the design project.In this case the students designed a water treatment system to remediate acid mine drainageentering the headwaters of a local river.

While most students opted to follow the suggested schedule, about 15% ofstudents instead chose to delay course participation until later in the semester. This varying paceof participation had an unexpected impact on some of the most dedicated students, who found itdifficult to engage in productive discussions online when not all of their classmates wereworking as quickly through the materials.IntroductionSuccessful engineering programs often integrate experiential learning experiences throughout thecurriculum.
