Utilizing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, instructors focused on the first twodichotomies, Extroversion vs. Introversion and Sensing vs. Intuition. With an innovativeapproach towards CE Materials, the goal of stimulating independent thinkers and assistingstudents with the retention of core course material is being achieved across a range of studentlearning preferences. By teaching the course in a way that encompasses all learning preferences,a greater breadth of students can succeed in and enjoy a civil engineering curriculum.IntroductionTypical civil engineering

These groups arecentered around a specific research focus and provide space for collaborative learning. They caninfluence how students approach their research, acquire knowledge, develop skills, and feelabout being part of a broader academic or professional community [8].Despite their importance, the role of research groups on a graduate student’s experience has notbeen studied as extensively as the role of the supervisor.

Furthermore, for some courses,simulations and case studies can replace active learning sessions.[1] However, even with theadvances in online education, the challenges of most laboratory courses required on-sitelaboratory experiences because of the need for physical hardware and resources.
