From Raytheon’s perspective, therewas a commitment to work with its academic partner, but also an awareness that this joint effortwould strengthen the relationship, significantly benefiting Raytheon for the reasons outlinedabove. More importantly, Raytheon personnel had something to contribute that was truly neededand helpful.This partnership was also intended to help faculty in the College of Engineering focus onABET’s EC 2000 – utilizing industrial expertise and experience with Quality-related processesto teach faculty about Quality, its importance and using Raytheon success stories to illustratehow it can lead to positive change.

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

In parallel, the struggle to equip and maintain Page 15.272.2modern teaching laboratories has changed little over three decades.
