well.I. IntroductionIn our 2007 paper1 we reported on an assessment study we had conducted that resulted in asignificant change and reorientation with the curriculum and subsequent course progression ofour physics program. At that time, our physics program was integrated with a single departmentalong with two other disciplines in the department of Computer Science, Audio Technology, andPhysics (CAP). Shortly after our study was conducted, each of these programs separated and 3independent departments were created.As part of our study, we looked at comparative data from 22 national undergraduate programsfocusing on those that were in universities without graduate programs in physics as well as thosein liberal arts colleges. The results of our

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.

Theexercises also served as an example of the simulation factor in the integrated circuit designcycle, since they relate directly to ongoing MOS foundry runs.At MSU the MOS device course is a specialty course that is directed toward themicroelectronics option of the ECE (Electrical and Computer engineering) curriculum.

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.
