Presented by the Transportation Education Council.
Webinar Description:
Teaching an introductory transportation engineering course to
undergraduate students can present many challenges. Since such courses
are typically required for all civil engineering undergraduates, students in
the course collectively possess a varied range of interest in
transportation. For many students, this will be the only transportation
course ever taken. For others, this course will provide the foundation
for future courses and career opportunities. Further, because this course
is typically taught at the junior level, students may be more difficult to
engage compared to those in senior level courses. In light of these
challenges, it is important to employ innovative techniques to enhance student
learning and provide effective engagement. This webinar will present
instructional strategies to effectively engage students in an introductory
transportation engineering university course. This will include a
series of in-class activities that can be introduced in various transportation
courses.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the value of pre-course surveys in learning about your students
- Keep students engaged without homework or attendance
- Develop relevant and fulfilling course projects
- Demonstrate student knowledge of contemporary transportation issues in the U.S.
- Facilitate more effective written and oral communication from students
- Allow students to apply concepts from the curriculum to the real world.
