In short, substantive conversation forces us to transformbasic knowledge into applied, integrated knowledge.” [1]Authentic assessment has been the norm for the course since its beginning as a centralcomponent in the Delta Program [2]; however, the introduction of the micro-course is an“experiment” to make the traditional micro-teaching experience even more “real” ormore authentic. For example, since its beginning, students have written and reviewedlearning plans, assessment strategies, and a teaching and learning philosophy. In fall,2004, we piloted the micro-course as an authentic assessment experience. Our hypothesiswas that a microcourse would give

Many approaches have been found tobe quite successful vis-à-vis infusing particular educational topics into existing coursework.Furthermore, integrating ethics instruction into undergraduate engineering and technologyprograms has been a popular topic in recent years12.

investigate strategies for integrating AI intocivil engineering education. While this integration could be done using new elective courses onAI and civil engineering (see [11]), we were interested in relevant topics that could incorporatedinto existing coursework. Our assumption is that the technical details of using AI would becovered in other courses (e.g., data science). Here, we were interested in demonstratingapplications, providing opportunities to interact with and use AI efficiently, and providing clarityaround the ethical issues of AI.AI in the curriculum: Infrastructure monitoringAs civil infrastructure systems age there is an increasing need for methods and tools that allowowners to efficiently monitor and maintain these systems over time

Thebranch campus faculty, generally not being representedii in the curricular committees of the maincampus, has little input in home campus curricular decisions, and thus has very limited influencein shaping the curriculum to be suitable for the branch campus. This leaves only two options:either the branch campus receives an appropriate level of curricular independence (for exampleensuring alignment of the outcomes, but not of the week-by-week content), or a decoupling ofthe accreditation process from the main campus may become necessary (which can havenegative repercussions on the marketing of the university and degree to the local students).

Provide an environment for experiential learning where integration of various strands of electrical and computer engineering disciplines can happen.Similarly to the first goal, some programs offer so-called “cornerstone” courses [3], but themajority of these seem to be freshman courses aiming to provide motivation for potentialengineering students while providing somewhat authentic experiences. These freshman students,however, will typically not have enough technical background to accomplish the second goal. Inour curriculum, students enrolled in ECE 211/212

Balancing objectives and constraints to findthe material that best meets the design criteria requires both an understanding of the product’s finalapplication as well as materials science fundamentals. One challenge with combining materialsselection and FE modeling is they are often taught separately, which can lead to one of the areasbeing underutilized
