The BOK follows three themes: • what should be taught and learned, • how it should be taught and learned, and • who should teach and learn it.Body of Knowledge – What Should Be Taught and Learned?Outcomes are the principal means of defining the what dimension of the civil engineeringBOK for the 21st Century. The BOK consists of 15 outcomes that build on the 11outcomes promulgated by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET). In addition to the 11 ABET outcomes, which are included verbatim in the 15BOK outcomes, four entirely new outcomes (Outcomes 12-15) address

And, in fact, we have been slow to respond.Engineering students themselves want to study a wider curriculum. There has been a growth inthe UK of more technology-based degrees that cover wider aspects of business and industry.Students want to see more business, finance, marketing, IT, as well as interpersonal skills such asnegotiating skills in the curriculum [3].The UK Engineering Council, in its 3rd Edition of Standards and routes to Registration(SARTOR) [4], continued with the accelerating trend of basing the curriculum within thevocational arena, and argued that

AbstractThis is the second of three papers prepared for a special panel session of the National Collaborative TaskForce on Engineering Graduate Education Reform that addresses the need for reform of faculty rewardsystems to advance professional education for creative engineering practice and technology leadership.This paper examines representative templates for professionally oriented faculty reward systems in otherservice professions in order to identify the commonality which should be reflected any faculty rewardsystem for professional engineering education. As a result, three unifying themes among other professionshave emerged which address teaching, professional scholarship, and service/engagement in practice.1. IntroductionTo be successful in any

Tsang(2000) stipulates that the notion of combining service with engineering design projects is notnew considering that many senior design projects have provided assistive technology to meet theneeds of people with disabilities. Tsang (2000) further discusses the many benefits of service-learning, coupled with design-across-the-curriculum, and the significance of integrating design atall stages of a student’s academic development in a meaningful context.
