Preliminary post-test evaluation has revealed that the scaffolded approach allayedstudent concerns and increased student motivation.I. BackgroundThe Geosystems graduate program at the Georgia Tech School of Civil and EnvironmentalEngineering offers both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Students in both degree tracks are required totake four core courses: a course in fundamental soil mechanics (CE 6150), two lab testingcourses (CE 6151 and 6161), and a course in field testing

engineeringcontinue to lag behind other disciplines, driven by factors such as lack of engagement, rigid curricula, andlimited interdisciplinary exposure during the early years of undergraduate study. These concerns areamplified in a world where engineering graduates are expected not only to solve technical problems but todo so in ways that deliver meaningful societal and economic impact.In this context, the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) has emerged as a transformativeforce in shaping engineering education.
