of Reading Assignments in Environmental Engineering Education for Effective Learning and Greater Student Engagement in an Era of Innovative Pedagogy and Emerging Technologies1.0 IntroductionSince the dawn of education, educators have been looking for ways to make teachingeffective and it has been a never-ending pursuit. Engineering education is no exception tothis. There have been numerous pedagogical advances such as focusing on students' learningstyles, teaching aids, in-class assessments, and use of more hands-on activities and multi-media, which made education more effective. Most engineering majors, some more thanothers, have dedicated laboratories for hands-on learning of specific

On the laboratory days, they applied andreinforced the learned knowledge through hands on experiments, such as building the robotframe, writing code in embedded C program and so on. By teaching in this manner the coursedoes not only focus on the traditional lecture style of teaching, but allows the material to reachstudents with different learning preferences. A few challenges were also incorporated into thecourseware, such as building a robot chassis and then requiring students to improve it bymounting sensors with only a limited amount of parts and time. This forced them to useinnovation and creativity in their design process. The culmination of the course was a final

The overall project goals are to integrate, test, and disseminate new and emergingtechnologies that link the mobile student to the classroom or laboratory. Through a video/audiocapture capability installed in the classroom and a network server, lectures can be streamed inreal-time or archived for later viewing. Students can have access to these resources using hand-held devices, tablet PC’s, or laptops with mobile connectivity. When viewing a live lecture,students will have the ability to interact with the instructor using messaging software.

For many newfaculty, there is no existing research group to join, so the faculty member starts from scratch. Inaddition to these external challenges, often the PUI is not set up to support the faculty inobtaining external research funds, as this may be a relatively new activity there.Locating facilities for research is difficult at a PUI. Faculty must find a way to useundergraduate teaching laboratories for their research, or need to locate funds to outfit a new lab. Page

Lastly, structural engineering coursesrequired for both CEEN and AEEN students are traditionally cross-linked and taught as a singlecourse (due to limited number of faculty). These courses are not differentiated in Table 1.Examples of course modules include: • CEEN / AEEN 3303 (Structural Analysis) teaches students to calculate the effects of external loads on structural components. Key to student success in advanced structural design and capstone courses is development of a systemic view of a structure and the ability to specify ultimate structural demands.

The skills a test engineer should have include mastery of basic circuits includingthe ability to design and troubleshoot them using laboratory equipment as well asAutomatic Test Equipment (ATE). The test engineer should also be able to program(C++, MATLAB, and LabVIEW) and to effectively communicate technical issues to bothproduct marketers (possibly non-technical) as well as product designers (very technical).

. Microhardness testing can be used to measure these profiles and work out the diffusivity of oxygen in titanium. A laboratory experiment has been developed in which commercially pure titanium is annealed in air, the microhardness profiles are obtained, and the results are analyzed to obtain the activation energy for diffusion. The value obtained was close to that for tracer self- diffusion in α-Ti. This inexpensive experiment, based on scientific literature from the 1950s, gives the students hands-on experience with the experimental methods and interpretation of the data used to study this very basic materials behavior.IntroductionTitanium is well known for its excellent resistance to corrosion primarily due to
