science subjects.Tutoring: COMPASS scholars are required to perform at an above-average level and keep gradesin the A-B range. Tutoring or supplemental instruction (SI) sessions are critical to success. Evenwhen students are comfortable in a subject, there are benefits to participation. Students maydiscover that they have misconceptions and that they cannot relate concepts learned at differenttimes in a course or across different courses. Tutoring also challenges them to push themselves toa higher order of thinking, analysis, or evaluation. In a group setting, students learn by teachingother students. Indeed, research shows that teaching each other in small groups improves studentlearning when compared to traditional lecture-based courses in

Coursework – Students must complete six (6) credit hours with a B or better from the approved course list for the Research pathway. Currently, approved courses in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering include Introduction to Research in Civil & Environmental Engineering, Special Problems, and Independent Study/Research. All three courses count as civil engineering electives for the baccalaureate degree program, which means that additional credit hours are not required to earn GLD in Research

testing will be conducted to assess a) change in retention between courses and b)change in student problem-solving and design skills.BackgroundMany sources have made the case for reforming engineering education to reflect modern trends.Most notably, a recent National Academy of Engineering (NAE) report found that2 Engineering education must avoid the cliché of teaching more and more about less and less, until it teaches everything about nothing. Addressing this problem may involve reconsideration of the basic structure of engineering departments and the infrastructure for evaluating the performance of professors as much as it does selecting the coursework students should be taught.The report also stressed the importance of teaching
