Claire Steager (Undergraduate) collects groundwater samples at a field site

Field methods are an important part of engineering often ignored in the undergraduate curriculum. The College of Engineering at Rowan University is incorporating field methods, both sampling and measurement, across its engineering curriculum, using

• Preplanned field exercises in laboratory components of select courses and modules in Freshman and Sophomore Engineering Clinics, and
• Open-ended field exercises as part of Junior and Senior Engineering Clinics.

This initiative is funded by the National Science Foundation (DUE-9950609) with matching money from Rowan University. In addition, the initiative is supported through various Rowan University projects funded by industry and government organizations.
