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

Unfortunately,since the surveys were anonymous, there was no way to tie the survey results directly back to thecourse performance of the respondents. However, students were asked to identify their expectedgrade in the course, which was used to explore the preparation preferences of the students.This final categorization produced the largest variation in responses.

In the bath section of the machine, fabric is unwound from a roll,dipped into the resin bath and then threaded between two pinch rollers to remove excess resin.From there, the resin-coated fabric is conveyed into the oven section of the machine, where thematerial is "B-staged". During B-staging, the material is partially cured and solvent is removed,necessitating the use of a ventilation

using this method of solution-finding that iscommonly used for scientific discovery. In science, analogies are used to find new hypotheses bycomparing the current unknown problem with a solved case that has some similarities, promptingone to ask if both can be understood in the same way. In engineering, using an analogy may actthe same way. By saying problem A is basically the same as problem B, it follows that theexisting solution to problem B may also work for problem A.15 Thus, by thinking of analogies toteach teammates about one’s discipline, one practices using this method of finding a solution.However, as mentioned above, for students to engage in this knowledge transfer, and to discussand debate different solutions, the capstone team

The Introduction to Engineeringcourse is a prime venue and opportunity to help cultivate many of these skills forstudents.Two main resources were used in helping students develop these skills. One of theseresources is the textbook for the course “Studying Engineering: A Road Map to aRewarding Career” by Dr. Raymond B. Landis37. This book covers many of the topicslisted above in the context of beginning and pursuing engineering study. Receptivity tochange and personal growth are strong underlying themes in the text and the assignmentsbased around the readings
