©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Implementing Integrated Project-Based Learning Outcomes in a 21st Century Environmental Engineering CurriculumAbstractEngineering education research and accreditation criteria have for some time emphasized that toadequately prepare engineers to meet 21st century challenges, programs need to move toward anapproach that integrates professional knowledge, skills, and real-world experiences throughoutthe curriculum [1], [2], [3]. An integrated approach allows students to draw connections betweendifferent disciplinary content, develop professional skills through practice, and relate theiremerging engineering competencies to the problems and communities they care about [4], [5

Overall, 20 students participated in the curriculum pilot implementation, 5 of whomwere female. Frequent absences meant that very few students attended every session, and both apre- and post-assessment were obtained from only 14 of the students. Most students worked inpairs with one robot and one computer terminal per pair, although a few students chose to workas individuals. Table 1 summarizes the results of the pre- and post-test.

An introduction to hydrology remains animportant part of the general civil and environmental engineering curriculum. However, thechanges in the science of hydrology have not yet fully propagated into a changed approach toteaching this important subject. We present the results of a three-semester long study in whichwe introduced real world case studies into a large (70-90 students) civil engineeringundergraduate class to achieve this change. Over the past several semesters, students haveexpressed overwhelmingly positive thoughts on the course adjustments made, including the casesand other active learning elements utilized.

undergraduate chemical engineering curriculum. Thus,instructional materials are being developed for a sequence of four core chemicalengineering undergraduate courses. Typically, these courses are taken prior to thestudent enrolling in the senior design course (or courses). The four core coursesthat are targeted are: 1) fluid flow operations; 2) heat transfer operations; 3) masstransfer operations; and 4) reactor design. The first three of these courses aretypically grouped as the ‘unit operations’ courses and are taught at the sophomoreand junior levels. The last course may be taken prior to the senior year designcourses, or during the first semester of the senior year simultaneously with thefirst course in the design sequence.Process

Thus, facultymust choose the teaching strategy based upon the learning domain that is being addressedand the developmental level the students are at.

Second, through focusing onthose elements shared by all communicative performances – genre, context, identity, and purpose– it enables faculty to adapt their instructional approach in ways that acknowledge the diversityof possible performances while maintaining coherence. Third, it allows faculty to employ auseful methodology, discourse analysis, for doing assessment as educational research.
