This research project developed a web-based learning system to teach students the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) within the foundational courses of a typical civil engineering program. As opposed to generating a series of GIS courses, the GIS know-how is introduced within existing courses as a module that will reinforce basic concepts taught throughout the curriculum in a comprehensive manner. Evaluation research of a proof-of-concept prototype for geotechnical course supported the efficacy of such an approach. With this prototype as a guide, modules are developed in the following five areas: environmental, geotechnical, hydrology, surveying/measurements, and transportation.
