AB  -                   Development of an Introduction to Infrastructure CourseAn “Introduction to Infrastructure” course has been developed in the Civil and EnvironmentalEngineering Department at [institution]. The course is intended for sophomore students andserves two main purposes in the curriculum:       1. To introduce the students to civil engineering and the subdisciplines, and       2. To begin the development of an awareness of infrastructure and the challenges facing the          United States with respect to infrastructure overcapacity and degradation.Details of efforts to incorporate exemplary teaching materials in the course development will bepresented and information will be provided to access the materials developed, which will soon beavailable online. A particularly noteworthy aspect of the course is that students completed asimplified “infrastructure report card” for a local municipality. This simplified report card ismodeled after the “Report Card for America’s Infrastructure” 1 produced by the AmericanSociety of Civil Engineers. Results from the simplified report card project will be presented.The course was developed as part of a National Science Foundation grant in the Course,Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement program. A pilot offering of the course was offered inSpring 2010 and a second offering of the course is scheduled for Spring 2011. Preliminary directassessment efforts from the pilot offering indicate that the course was successful in meetinginstructional goals. Indirect assessment is currently being conducted to measure studentsatisfaction with the course (what they enjoyed about it, clarity of information, applicability tofuture courses and/or employment, etc.), appreciation of infrastructure problems facing theUnited States, and perception of teamwork skills gained by working on the course project. Theseindirect results will be included in the paper and will be available at the poster session.1    http://www.infrastructurereportcard.org/
