[emphasis added].18Freidson provides no explanation for the exceptional nature of civil engineering. We suggest,however, that the apparent strength of the civil engineering profession in comparison with otherengineering disciplines may be attributed to: ≠ The association of civil engineering with public work, resulting in a stronger legally sanctioned labor market shelter ≠ The resulting emphasis on licensure in civil engineering and, in comparison with other engineering disciplines, the relatively smaller proportion of practitioners working under an industrial exemption ≠ The structure of the construction industry, in which the purely professional functions of planning and design tend to be contractually

One of the questions that is oftenasked by prospective students or their parents is with regard to what sort of job one can get witha degree in a particular field. To assist in answering this question, the first exercise involvedrequesting members of our Alumni Facebook Group to mail in one of their business cards. Thegroup members were all sent a message that first stated the often-asked question, then requestedthat they contribute to a planned display of business cards that would creatively serve as a visualaid for addressing this

The body of the rocket was a 2-L soda bottle. Modeling clay was used to add ballast to the bottom of the bottle, which became the nose of the rocket. Clay could not be placed anywhere but the nose

When asked onthe post-survey if they had made a podcast, only 24% had done so. Half of the class had optedout, but 21% had initially planned to do so and had changed their minds. Another 5% wishedthey had created a podcast. Their perceptions of whether or not a podcast is a good medium tolearn technical content did not vary substantially between the beginning and end of the semester.They did indicate, however, that they invested more time creating a podcast (average of 39hours) over writing a paper (31 hours).

Nobuilding plans were filed by contractor Hammond Iron Works, because the tank was consideredto be a “receptacle,” rather than a building, although a permit was required for the foundation.Completion of the structure was rushed, and

considered the VPLab project a success with some caveats. Though one of the maindesign goals was to shy away from the video game feel, many of the students were distracted bythe “videogame appearance of the objects in the simulation” [9]. Those students that hadexperience with physical lab experiments felt the simulated experiments were very different fromthose of the VPLab. The designers’ adherence to the principle of realism was accomplished withthe few observed distractions and they will continue to refine the imagery in the VPLab. Theoverall conclusion was to continue making refinements to the simulation and reinstitute thestudy. They also plan on researching other VL implementation and including larger number ofstudents in these studies.The
