II. TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS

II A. NEW COURSE TAUGHT

  1. CIV E 401. Civil Engineering and Society, Fall 2004 and Fall 2005. This is a new course designed to expose civil engineering students to a diversity of social and economic issues related to civil engineering.
II B. TEACHING INNOVATIONS

  1. Designed and maintained a website for teaching, research, and other professional purposes (http://ponce.sdsu.edu). The website, among the largest individual academic websites anywhere, featuring more than 10,000 links, is used for communications with students, colleagues, correspondents, and the public at-large.

  2. Developed 101 scripts to perform hydrologic and hydraulic calculations on the web, using the scripting language PHP. (http://onlinecalc.sdsu.edu). These web-based tools are being used in CIV E 445 Applied Hydrology and CIV E 530 Open-channel Hydraulics.

  3. Currently teaching the following courses with 100% web-based lectures.

    • CIV E 445 Applied Hydrology
    • CIV E 530 Open-channel Hydraulics
    • CIV E 632 Computational Hydraulics and Hydrology
    • CIV E 633 Environmental Hydrology
    • CIV E 634 Surface-water Hydrology

  4. Currently teaching the students of CIV 632 Computational Hydraulics and Hydrology the skills they need to develop webcontent.
