CEE 241

1. 1. 1. 1. Ensure clear delivery of learning objectives (course, individual section), education objective, and prerequisites & course outcomes

         2. Pre-class materials implemented -- done in a way to cultivate interest without significant technical details

         3. Implementation of active learning

         4. Use of statics concept inventory (SCI) -- five SCIs were identified, and then course evaluation problems were revisited to ensure inclusion of these SCI problems.

         5. In addition, from the same author of SCI, students’ common errors were identified. They match well with my findings with slight differences in details (probably because of differences in perspectives (ME Vs. CEE). 

      2. CEE 121 & CEE370

         1. Ensure clear delivery of learning objectives (course, individual section), education objective, and prerequisites & course outcomes

         2. Pre-class materials implemented -- done in a way to cultivate interest without significant technical details

         3. Implementation of active learning

      3. Intro2CE

         1. EGG202 is created and to be taught by Dr. Erica Marti and others.

3.Published one paper in peer reviewed conference proceedings of ASEE

1. 1. 4. Saher, Park, Stephen, and Artega (2021), The Role of Prior Knowledge in the Performance of Engineering Students, (in press) 

4.Vertical alignment is being implemented or being planned for implementation in courses

1. Introduction to CE to be team-taught in second year experience course (EGG 202) starting Fall 2021

2. Master plan for CEE 241 (Statics) development in progress including

   1. discussions with other course instructors

   2. elimination of inconsistencies between instructors

   3. analysis of past gradebooks to identify areas of difficulty

   4. use of animated, visual, and demo learning materials

   5. use of learning-by-mistake strategy

   6. use of pre-quiz to identify prereq weaknesses

3. Master Plan for CEE 370 (Engineering Mechanics), CEE 301 (CAD Tools), CEE 121 (Surveying) not started

4. Vertical alignment of curriculum in progress
