Original Prompt90-Minute Block Pedagogy
Day 1: Forensic Engineering & Site Survey
Part 1 (45 min): Intro to "What is Engineering?" (Solving problems under constraints). Discuss the Lakeshore pond—why does the parking lot flood?
Part 2 (45 min): The Site Walk. Provide "Survey Clipboards." Students must map the perimeter and locate all "Human Infrastructure" (drains, pipes, asphalt edges). They must photograph or sketch "Failures" (erosion, clogged pipes)

This learning resource focuses on performing a forensic site survey in the context of a flooding issue at Lakeshore Pond. Students will learn to identify infrastructure components, categorize structural failures, and collaborate effectively through field observations. Assignments involve team roles such as Field Recorder, Mapping Specialist, and Evidence Lead to analyze physical constraints impacting drainage decisions—like budget, slope, and existing infrastructure. The resource includes sections for field observation notes, campus infrastructure mapping instructions, and a synthesis challenge where students propose engineering solutions based on their findings. Through collaborative check-ins and analysis, students develop critical thinking skills to address real-world engineering problems.
