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.

thedevelopment of an innovative delivery system. In 1993, a faculty committee consisting of representatives from various departments was formed by thedean to develop an “innovative curriculum” for the college. In carrying out the task, the committee consideredand used as reference several models from other institutions, including Drexel University’s “E4 EducationalProgram1” and the “Integrated, First Year Curriculum2” at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. The newengineering curriculum developed at the University of Miami had the following objectives: 1. Facilitate the transition of students from high school to college environment, 2. Expose students to engineering in their freshman year, 3. Make the study of mathematics, basic sciences

The implied educa-tional imperative is for a broader and deeper preparation of new engineers, and at the same time,of the practicing profession. The ASCE committee working on the second edition of the CivilEngineering Body of Knowledge has embraced sustainability as an independent technical out-come; and has set out specific levels of cognitive achievement required of all engineers prior tolicensure. Herein, we discuss the elements of a university program including the sustainable useof natural resources, sustainable infrastructure, sustainable production of goods and services

Not only are studentsencouraged to develop the skills of approaching ethical problems from many differentviewpoints and engaging in respectful dialogue with peers who hold different positions, but alsothis difference of perspective is modeled throughout the curriculum as students experience ethicsthrough varying pedagogies, teaching styles, and learning activities.

UR also aided in the process of “becoming a scientist” – understanding thenorms of professional practice and connecting to the field [6], [7]. Especially in terms of“developing an identity as a scientist”, students cited the impact of UR more than coursework orthe general college experience.While many studies have focused on students in the sciences, especially biology, studies have alsobeen conducted on the specific impact within the engineering curriculum. At the University ofDelaware, Zydney et al. conducted a study of the impacts of UR through a survey of alumni of theCollege of Engineering [8].

through the use of innovative teachingpractices (Bottoms & Uhn, 2007).There are several precollege curriculum programs that are implemented in Texas to preparestudents for post-secondary engineering degree programs. One of the most widely usedcurriculum interventions with potential to support positive higher education and employmentoutcomes is Project Lead the Way (PLTW). PLTW utilizes a problem-based pedagogicalapproach to support the development of skills and knowledge needed for college and careerreadiness (Project Lead the Way, 2020; Starobin et al., 2013). Although there is some evidenceof the short and long-term benefits of Project Lead the Way (Hess et al., 2016), the contextualfactors that influence PLTW adoption are not well
