MET program.The Penn State Behrend MET Capstone ExperienceThe capstone experience is intended to provide the student with an opportunity to integrate theiruniversity education while bridging the gap between school and the “real world” – industry. AtPSB, this is done by incorporating an industrial sponsored project as part of the experience. Theoverall experience involves a sequence of two courses taken in the fall and spring semesters for atotal of 4 credits. The fall course is one credit with the remaining three credits for the springcourse. Although the project is the foundation of the courses, there are other topics taught aswell. The course lectures include important but often overlooked topics related to the practicingengineer such as

challenge for the instructor is to find relevant water service learning projects that can bedone by a group of senior civil and environmental engineering students in a one-semester labcourse. One source of potential projects is the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System(NPDES) Phase II Stormwater Rule because one of the minimum control measures is publicinvolvement. Therefore, the Phase II Rule provides an added incentive for towns that operatesmall MS4s to integrate undergraduate environmental engineering projects into their stormwatermanagement plan.This paper gives a brief description of the benefits of service learning and also providesbackground information on the NPDES Phase II program requirements and how it is beingimplemented in

but to spread the collection and analysis of SO to many classes. Other than capstonesenior design classes, each required class collects and analyzes data for only two SO although manycourses address more than two. In the past cycle, the curriculum committee has worked to distributethe SO throughout the program so that there isn’t an imbalance with many courses providing datafor a SO while few courses contributing to another SO. This mapping of SO throughout thecurriculum is evaluated and adjusted at the beginning of an assessment cycle. Overall, each coursehas a reduced documentation load and more faculty become involved in the continuousimprovement process. This broader participation has encouraged faculty to document topics in theircourses

For instance, the PENG Instructional and Outreach Program (Pre-IOP) was developed to increase the number of skilled high-tech professionals, particularly among historically underrepresented groups (minorities and women). A thorough communication campaign promoting the benefits of careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) introduced a PENG curriculum in middle and high schools to achieve this goal [20]. The integrated Teaching and Learning (ITL) Program at the University of Colorado at Boulder created a PENG outreach program for K–12 instructors and students to inspire students about the benefits of PENG topics. Program effectiveness was evaluated based onparticipants' feedback, long-term

Generation Science Standards(NGSS) [2] highlight the importance of including engineering in the K-12 curriculum. Theimplementation of NGSS requires that teachers understand engineers’ use of design in their workas well as the ways that engineering is connected to science, technology, and society. The waysin which an engineer’s work connects to science, technology, and society is dependent upon thespecific context in which they are working, and offering students opportunities to engage withproblems situated within realistic engineering contexts can help students meaningfully learnmathematics and science [3]. Providing these opportunities for students will require teachers tohave an understanding of the work of engineers and the way that work connects
