These faculty members either worked as private consultants orworked with an engineering firm. The highest degree these faculty members possessed mayhave only been a master of science or master of engineering. As the focus of fundamentalresearch heightened and the availability of research funding increased during the early 1960’s,many engineering professors directed

The professional engineer is in jeopardy of being categorized as atechnologist or technician—led and managed by individuals external to the engineeringprofession. Several decades ago, almost all state DOT directors were P.E.’s. Now, only aboutone-third are P.E.’s.

First, during the initial registration for the onlinecourses there were a few problems with students signing up for the wrong course, something notdiscovered until the regular weekly reports was developed. Second, because the BentleyLEARN Server must track all student activities within an online course, there was not factility toallow the student to print out the course

The cognitive domain taxonomy is widely accepted in many fields and has beenidentified as, “arguably one of the most influential education monographs of the past halfcentury.”6 The taxonomies are a language that describes the progressive development of anindividual in each domain and are defined as follows7: • Cognitive: of, relating to, being, or involving conscious intellectual activity. • Affective: relating to, arising from, or influencing feelings or emotions. • Psychomotor: of or relating to motor action directly proceeding from mental

As cited later, there have been concerns expressed that graduate programshave become less focused on preparing civil engineers for the professional practice ofcivil engineering and more focused on engineering research. An added concern in thisperceived trend has been that the future educators of civil engineers who graduate withPh.D.’s may be less prepared to foster the best possible learning in practical civilengineering design. These concerns may or may not be justified, but the current dialoguecertainly provides an opportunity for civil engineering departments to reexamine theirgraduate programs to identify whether they are doing to their best to prepare theirgraduates.
