Teaming "Design Of Small Earth Dams" A Practitioner/Professor Collaboration

The course “Design of Small Earth Dams” is sufficiently broad and involved that the University of Wyoming has taught it for almost 20 years using both a practicing professional engineer and a professor. The arrangement has worked out very well for a variety of reasons and with several practitioners. This paper will focus on the way in which the two instructors team together to develop the course and set up schedules for teaching, assignments, tests and projects.
