The skills, tools,and techniques developed during the semester in class and in laboratories are applied to thedesign and construction of the bridge. Students, operating in teams of three to five, also learn towork with their peers. The teams are given a Request for Proposals (RFP) and allowed toexercise creativity within the scope of the RFP. Students progress through the design process(concept, preliminary, and final phases) using both written and oral communication. The finalgrade of the design process is based on their prototype and on written and oral presentations. Atthe

. Recognizing that engineers need material from both semesters of the traditional twosemester sequence, a new one-semester course was developed. This course has been designedaround the pedagogical theme that "The properties of larger particles are based upon theproperties of their constituent particles and their interactions". As such, the students areintroduced to "modern" physics. To deliver a course such as this effectively , we have found thatwe need to adopt innovative teaching techniques including: focusing on the recitation, frequentfeedback, the use of the studio-format, closer integration of the laboratory experience with thecourse, self-directed laboratory exercises, context- based learning, and the use of the internet.The course structure

opportunity to explore how we could teach this course more effectively.Innovative use of technology and media impacted not only what we were able to do in thelecture, but also the laboratories that are part of part of the course. The lectures were captureddigitally and made available using streaming video. This gives students flexibility in viewinglectures multiple times as they learn. Before this, students only had the option of viewing thecontent in a synchronous mode. One of the other powerful advantages of using technology wasthe ability to bring examples from the real world into the classroom. For example, in discussingfinite state machines the instructor did a remote session in front of a vending machine, whichillustrated the concepts using

This leads to the instructor either gathering all students around the equipment for ademonstration, or scheduling students to use the equipment at different times. When there is onlyone piece of lab equipment, students often become disengaged. Studies in mechanicalengineering have demonstrated that laboratory experiments conducted with smaller, lessexpensive equipment in small groups greatly increased student engagement3,4,5. Smaller, lessexpensive desktop modules may help improve student engagement and provide students withmore hands-on experience.In this study, we developed 5 small, desktop constructed wetlands modules.

However,many students are not able to participate in practical activities (e.g., laboratory experiments) dueto inaccessible or unavailable “brick and mortar” laboratories, especially when most universitieshave currently adopted online instruction while students are sheltered at home due to the ongoingCOVID-19 pandemic.

Particle technology is particularly amenable; key basic experimentscan be done within the laboratory session and the apparatus can be simple.
