All these things arechallenges that NASA hasn’t figured out. What we do actually contributes to something.”Likewise, Annie found her ESPT experience directly shaped “how [she] view[s] environmentalengineering;” she commented, “Water problems are really not very simple and they don’t oftencome just with one problem and solution.”Furthermore, ESPTs offered community.

In contrast 37.0% of students strongly agreedand 51.9% agreed that “…[they knew] other students in [their] classes and [felt] part of anacademic learning community” (Figure 7B).

The fatality rate is extremely high among those contracting hemorrhagic fevers.Diseases are decimating the gorilla populations in Africa. HIV/AIDS has almost halved the lifeexpectancy in many African countries.Classical biology, prior to the 1950’s required only a scant knowledge of chemistry, mathematicsand physics.

The students share data and determine which samples are within the acceptable range(minimum DO or minimum change in DO) to be considered valid. Corrections are made basedon change in DO of blank solutions. In addition to determining the BOD of the sample(s), thestudents conduct a kinetic study and determine the kinetic parameters.This BOD experiment forces students to consider:1) The validity of individual samples2) The need to correct measured DO

One of the first initiatives of the college was tostrive to have a common first year among all its engineering programs (Aeronautical,Civil, Computer, Electrical, Mechanical, and Software Engineering). Having a commonyear would allow first year engineering students to switch degrees with no impact to theirschedule.One course used by most engineering majors was “CS223 Computer Programming forEngineers” which was originally taught in FORTRAN then migrated to C in the mid90’s. The course taught up to structures in C and was basically a C programming coursetaught by predominantly adjunct professors. The
