Emotions aresystematically affected by the knowledge and goals of the learner, as well as vice versa.” Theygo on to explain that a balanced system is important when learning through failure.

Given the motivations of these two departmentsand mutual interest of the project faculty in bridges, and Conde B. McCullough (Figure 1) inparticular, the faculty identified the potential for a field course to tour important Oregon bridges.Emphasizing those constructed to complete the Oregon coast highway, the course brings thehistory of these bridges together with their design and construction details. Changes in bridgedesign practice were discussed as an analog to the development of civil engineering moregenerally. Figure

For the purposes of maintaining the confidentiality, we will refer to the threeuniversities as A, B, C and the corresponding courses as Course 1, Course 2 and Course 3,respectively.University A (Course 1 – Fall 2017): Course 1 is a junior level required course for allArchitectural Engineering (AE) and Civil Engineering (CE) majors. Unlike undergraduatedynamics courses offered in traditional civil engineering curricula that focus solely on rigid-bodydynamics, Course 1 also covers structural dynamics over the second half of the course. Thelearning module was implemented concurrent with this half of the course, in which
