The Arkansas versionrepresented the first occurrence of this workshop, in any of its variations, at a location other thanWest Point. This venue was a calculated experiment taken by ASCE with the intent ofincreasing the availability of the workshop to more participants. In the process of planning andexecuting the Arkansas workshop a number of lessons were learned and are presented here. Thefocus is on variations in content and structure between the two workshops and the logisticsrequired to conduct a weeklong workshop that is faculty and facility intensive. The
