has prompted educators toreevaluate the foundational body of engineering knowledge in higher education. Moreover, asengineering education increasingly contemplates the global arena, it is obvious that civil andenvironmental engineering has been distinctively impacted and has a leading-edge role to play atthe individual practicing engineer level and as a discipline. In U.S. institutions, for instance,educators have been urged to reassess their curricula with the demands of globalization in mind.8The increasing demand for international engineering and the changing international nature ofengineering work9 has also made it clear that, insofar as engineering projects of scale stretchacross national boundaries and involve collaborating

landscape, the monitor screen, and the programs impose. The ability toformulate a problem with pencil and paper to large and small scales then ably see the big picturebeyond the computer color contour or spreadsheets and small monitor screens has alreadyresulted in tragic consequences. In his book, “Engineering in the Mind‟s Eye,” Eugene Fergusondiscusses such instances have already resulted in major problems. Due to the over-computerization, the judgment of engineers has become compromised. Ferguson cites thefollowing in this work: “Despite the enormous amounts of effort and treasure that have beenpoured into creating analytical tools to add rigor and precision to the design of complex systems,a paradox remains. There has been a harrowing

Engineering education must avoid the cliché of teaching more and more about less and less…. “  (p. 24) “Engineering schools are going to have to prepare engineers to do so by teaching
