Environmental engineering courses in Civil engineeringprograms at the undergraduate level are typically focused around engineering design conceptsand focused closed-end design and laboratory experiences. The objectives of this new coursewere: · To provide the students with an open-ended field laboratory experience that they would have to design and implement themselves, · To have the students focus the independent lecture and laboratory experiences that they had accumulated throughout their program of study to determine the information that they would need to characterize a watershed and conduct a TMDL

In particular, it has been common for

The proposed course schedule is shown in Table 1.The pilot course schedule deviated from this schedule, but this table accurately shows topicscovered with a few exceptions.Since Stiquito robots are walking robots there is ample opportunity to address mechanicalconcepts such as load, structural integrity, and thermodynamics (the legs are actuated by heating Page 7.265.2Nitinol wire).

SRL involves teaching students a new way ofunderstanding their learning process and how to monitor and manage it. The SRL process includes an on-going three-phase cycle: (1) planning, (2) practicing and (3) evaluation. During the planning phase,students assess prior performance, set goals and choose appropriate learning strategies
