: A Case StudyAbstractProject-based learning is a comprehensive approach to classroom teaching and learning that isdesigned to engage students in investigations of authentic problems. This paper presentsperceptions and attitudes of students that have participated in a Project-Based Learning (PBL)course in environmental engineering. The course, `Environmental Engineering II', was developedand taught using PBL approach. In this course, 3- or 4-member teams of students carried out twoprojects that required data collection, literature review, design, and preparation of professionalreports. The two projects comprised 50% of the final grade. At the end of the semester, a surveywas conducted with seven questions to compare the students’ learning
, mechanicsand material science. This sequence involves teaching an introductory engineering course,CE300, to both engineering majors and non-majors, followed by CE364, a mechanics + materialscience course that is taken by those students majoring in Civil or Mechanical Engineering. Thesequence integrates statics, mechanics of materials and a lesson block on material science;information that is traditionally separated across two or more courses, making it difficult forstudents to form the key connections between statics, mechanics and materials that are the bread-and-butter of the working engineer. Through tight coordination of these two courses, significantadvances have been made in student attitudes, capabilities and, perhaps most importantly
views (n=12; 29%). The least frequently cited reasons for leaving the School of Engineering were: 1. I want to attend a school that is closer to my family (0) 2. I want to live in another part of the country. (0) 3. I don’t find my courses challenging enough. (0) A portion of the exit survey asked questions regarding types of instructional activitiescharacteristically linked to different learning styles. For example, a student who prefers activerather than reflective learning, and who felt their needs were not being met in the engineeringcurriculum, might be expected to choose the survey option “I want to take classes which give memore opportunities to: do hands-on experiments and laboratories.” On the

These results indicate that although teachers see thesignificance of funds of knowledge in engineering, the teachers and teaching practices are stillembedded in a deficit-oriented educational structure that may prevent some of these changesfrom occurring.IntroductionWith the emergence of the Next Generation Science Standards [1], middle school teachershave been called to integrate engineering into their classes. However, there has been littlediscussion on how middle school teachers can be supported to effectively adopt instructionalpractices that combine both asset

The Next Generation Science Standards: For States, ByStates (NGSS) is an example of a more-recent effort (a collaboration among 26 states) to improvescience curriculum by focusing on disciplinary core ideas (content), science and engineering practices(SEPs) and crosscutting concepts (CCs). The NGSS curriculum places emphasis on vertical alignmentof K-12 science concepts in such a way that teaches SEPs and CCs in context where more-traditionalscience standards “express these dimensions as separate entities” (NGSS Lead States).
