Students must learn to integrate this traditional civilengineering knowledge base with an understanding of deterioration science, economics, finance,decision and management theory, maintenance management, and public policy. This paperdescribes efforts to address this gap in civil engineering education. The authors began with asingle course at Carnegie Mellon University and have modified the original material in differentways to serve the needs at other institutions.IntroductionOver the past twenty years, civil infrastructure has received considerable attention in the popularpress as bridges collapse or are closed, underground pipes burst, and trains derail.

Digitalsignal processing, however, does precisely that. It can be developed within a real-life engineeringcontext with real-time applications and design projects, thus leading students to establish a directexperience with the subject rather than taking the instructor's word for it.The DSP lab at Cal Poly is developed with the above objective in mind. It supports experimentswithin the real-life context, using discrete mathematics as a tool and not the goal. It emphasizesinterfacing with the real-time world of analog signals and systems.

anundergraduate environment to a research environment is often difficult: new skills are needed,students are expected to make decisions independently, and learning is informal. Graduate work(and research in general) is recognized to be a stressful time for students (Brennan, 1999). Thisis especially true for women and minority graduate students who find themselves more isolatedand less able to take advantage of informal learning networks than others (Berg and Ferber,1983). The problem is confounded by the fact that faculty research advisors are not taughtmanagement and mentoring skills that are required to properly supervise students. This situationis especially difficult for new faculty who are inexperienced in mentoring student research, butdepend
