The most common methods areproblem and project-based learning techniques. Both provide more open-ended types ofexperiences for students, but also require more upfront organization from the instructor.Problem-based learning exercises are generally open-ended, real-world problems worked out inteams where the instructor simply facilitates and monitors progress. Project-based learningexercises are similar, but usually include more than one task that leads to a final product, alsoworked out in teams [3]. In most cases project-based learning exercises are lengthier and

The MESA Center is also home for several student organizations on our campus,including MAES, SACNAS, and SWE. Over the last two years we have partnered with a nearbyuniversity to direct a NASA sponsored undergraduate research program. The program (CIPAIR)provides opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in ongoing research projects off-campus, as well as to conduct new research projects on campus under the guidance andsupervision of a faculty member.The MESA Center served as a focal point for promoting these opportunities and fordissemination of project results.

The new courses feature an integrated lecture/lab format.EE 210 was first offered in the fall semester of 1998, and EE 211 was first offered in the springsemester of 1999. EE 210 was repeated in the spring semester of 1999. Both courses will beoffered in the 1999-2000 academic year.The first-year results indicate that the project was successful.

To help students understand this connection and more fully comprehendfundamental geotechnical engineering concepts, an approach of using a real field constructionproject to support the teaching of this introductory course is being developed. For this approachto work most effectively, the entire course must be centered on a selected project. TheUniversity of South Carolina and metropolitan Columbia are experiencing a building boom,making this an ideal opportunity for this approach.
