Civil Engineering, Traffic Flow Theory
1. Students in the class provide a needed service: The Millcreek Lions Club and the County of Salt Lake have approached me requesting that I work with them to address traffic control problems in the Millcreek neighborhood. Traffic routed improperly has become a safety issue and has greatly contributed to the deterioration in the neighborhood especially for seniors and children. Too much traffic on neighborhood streets has cut off access by foot and isolated parts of the neighborhood from what used to be a more cohesive unit. 2. The service experience relates to the subject matter of the course: In…
Introduction to Mechanical Engineering
LEVEL: Freshman4 Credit Hours (Quarter) COURSE GOAL: As the title of the course implies, this is normally the first engineering course that mechanical engineering students take at the University of SouthAlabama (USA). My goals are for the students to find out about the diverse disciplines of the mechanical engineering profession and to prepare them for success in studying mechanical engineering. A guiding principle in developing the course is "design-across-the-curriculum" — service-learning provides the context for students to learn and practice the design process as they carry out their design projects. There are five learning objectives for the students: (1) gain…

The service project will allow students to utilize public health and environmental skills to assist low income populations in the border region, and thus…
Environmental Problem-Solving and Consulting
I. CONTEXT In ENVS 204, you go beyond identifying environmental problems to actually focusing on solutions. This takes two forms: (1) Who: becoming familiar with, learning from, and celebrating individuals and groups who have themselves achieved success at solving environmental problems, and who are thus role models or examples for others to follow or emulate, and (2) How: as part of a 3-5 person interdisciplinary consulting group/team/task force, applying problem-solving skills to real-world environmental problems and thereby helping a real client in need. College seniors examining global environmental issues are often overwhelmed by the enormity of the problems and feel…

Tercero, porque este método de investigación responde totalmente a la misión de la universidad de Santa Clara y a la filosofía educativa de su profesora que es la de formar líderes responsables que sean capaces de lograr cambio…
