The equipment is chosen because it is familiar to students, or at least thatthe physical principles of operation are easy to understand. The laboratory

Student feedback suggests theinfluence of the PBL lab may increase if learners had an opportunity to see the influent prior toconstruction. This study provides additional empirical evidence to encourage more widespreadinclusion of PBL teaching/learning experiences into environmental engineering curricula.IntroductionWhen undergraduate engineers leave the university environment and enter the workforce, theyare often asked to solve complex problems in areas where they have limited knowledge ortraining.

Teaching this subject in an 11-week ofacademic quarter is a challenging task requiring a combination of instructional delivery methods.We used a hands-on learning approach involving in-class computer-based exercises and team-based laboratory projects. The course content is designed around four major subjects: softwarefamiliarization, hardware familiarization, design and manufacturing integration, and industrialapplications.
