Service-learning is an educational approach that combines learning objectives with community service in order to provide a pragmatic,progressive learning experience while meeting societal needs.
Cooperative learning is an educational approach which aims to organize classroom activities into academic and social learning experiences. There is much more to cooperative learning than merely arranging students into groups,and it has been described as "structuring positive interdependence." Students must work in groups to complete tasks collectively toward academic goals. Unlike individual learning,which can be competitive in nature,students learning cooperatively can capitalize on one another's resources and skills. Furthermore,the teacher's role changes from giving information to facilitating students' learning. Everyone succeeds when the group succeeds. Ross and Smyth (1995) describe successful cooperative learning tasks as intellectually demanding,creative,open-ended,and involve higher-order thinking tasks. Cooperative learning has also been linked to increased levels of student satisfaction.

The Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge is a body of knowledge,set forth in a proposal by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) entitled Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge for the 21st century. This proposal seeks to identify and implement improvements to the education and licensure process for civil engineers in the United States of America. The proposal is intended to increase occupational closure by increasing the requirements to become a licensed engineer. Some have identified this joint effort with the Raising the Bar as not necessary.
