scenario is well described in a written manner withwell-defined constraints such that there exists a singular “correct” answer [3]. In order to moreeffectively prepare students for careers within the field of engineering which necessitates thatgraduates have the ability to generate solutions to ill-structured problems, the ABET EngineeringAccreditation Commission (EAC) [5] has emphasized the importance of integrating such ill-structured problems within civil engineering curriculum. ABET EAC has identified complexproblem solving skills (Outcome 1) as one of its defined learning outcomes. Specifically, thisincludes the “ability to… solve complex engineering problems by applying principles ofengineering, science, and mathematics.” Concurrently, ABET

applying much of thecourse content to calculate seepage, stress and the potential for liquefaction.As a discipline, geotechnical engineering is dynamic and deeply connected to the drama ofhuman fortunes and misfortunes. In didactic settings, however, mastering its concepts andtechniques can be experienced as complex, tedious, and disconnected from meaning. To supportstudents in achieving the intended learning outcomes, the instructors of this course have, overtime, come to incorporate both transmedia and IE elements, using an iterative process of design,testing, and adaptation to refine and optimize the curriculum and its components.

This study was conducted during two semesters: spring 2017 (N=1600) and spring2018 (N=1521) [15]. The course enrollment was divided into 14 divisions (called sections) witha maximum of 120 students. Each division had its own instructional team (i.e., instructor,graduate teaching assistant, three or four undergraduate teaching assistants, and one or twodedicated undergraduate graders). All divisions followed the same curriculum, sharing commonlecture materials, problem sets (PSs), exams, and semester project. Standards-based grading wasused

Therefore, classes that incorporate engineering design projects are an ideal fit for a PBLmethodology. This is particularly the case when the engineering design project has a physicalcomponent that needs to be produced/manufactured as the students can first design the item onpaper or computer software, then they can produce/manufacture it in a lab setting and gain ahands-on learning experience. One particular emphasis of PBL is that the project needs to drivethe learning, as opposed to merely having a

Female students encounter numerous barriers in the pipeline to engineering.The obstacles are varied and include both educational and social factors. Social factors includenegative perceptions of engineering as a profession for men, and gender bias both inside andoutside of the classroom. Deficiencies in curriculum have been studied as major barriers,primarily within the traditional classroom that does not encourage a welcome atmosphere andthat does not cultivate diversity, [4], [12], [13], [14]. Limitations include gender bias, lack ofself-efficacy in math and spatial skills, a lack of adequate
