This research resulted in the development of anumerical approach to modeling biodegradation of contaminants in karst aquifers that is taughtto environmental engineering students in several steps. First, environmental engineering studentsare taught chemical-reaction engineering principles relating to a wide variety of environmentalfate and transport issues. Second, as part of TSU’s engineering course curriculum, students use anon-ideal flow laboratory reactor system and run a tracer study to establish residence timedistribution (RTD). Next, the students couple that formula to a first-order biodegradation rateand predict the

collaborative learning and knowledge creation inconstruction education. The purpose of this paper is to present the use of wikis in a ConstructionManagement (CM) course as a case study. Knowledge Management System (KMS) for theconstruction and engineering industries is a new and exciting area of study, and wikis are a formof electronic KMS. In the last few years there have been studies done on the use of KMS as itrelates to a construction or engineering company’s internal tacit knowledge capture,collaboration, and retention. But little has been researched in the use of these technologies in theeducation sector. If the construction industry is using these types of technologies as a part ofnormal operations, then construction academic programs should
