proponentsof this initiative. Much has been learned from the experiences of the past – and these hard-learned experiences should guide the preparation of future editions of the CEBOK. A relevantquotation (from Adlai E. Stevenson) comes to mind: “We can chart our future clearly and wiselyonly when we know the path which has led to the present.”As the CEBOK has evolved, numerous papers have been published discussing various aspects ofits three different editions. A new paper titled “The Role of the Civil Engineering Body ofKnowledge in ASCE’s Raise the Bar Effort” is also being published and presented at the 2019ASEE Annual Conference [1].Planting the Seeds (1995-2001)Although the origins of maintaining a current and relevant engineering education

engineering, structural engineering, surveying, transportation engineering, and water resources engineering [4]. However, this list is not authoritative for three reasons: • The seven traditional civil engineering areas were originally defined to describe the full breadth of the traditional civil engineering undergraduate curriculum [23]; they were not defined with specialty certification in mind and thus might not be entirely applicable to specialty certification. (As evidence of this issue, note that the existing ASCE board certifications in Coastal Engineering, Ocean Engineering, Port Engineering, and Navigation Engineering do not correspond to any of the seven traditional civil engineering areas.) • New

feedback on individual and group performance, and an emphasis on group work [10].Teams are recommended to consist of 5-7 people and stay together for the entire semester. Workdone as a group should account for a significant portion of the course grade, immediate feedbackshould be given so teams can discuss outcomes, misunderstandings, and problems while contentis fresh in their minds, and peer assessment should factor into the course grade.Several active and team-based learning techniques have been introduced to the Introduction toTransportation Engineering course during the last two semesters it was taught. This work willpresent a comparison of student learning in the two traditionally taught semesters compared tothe two semesters that used

Concerns about the quality of STEM educationhave been fueled by high levels of attrition in STEM majors, particularly among women andstudents from underrepresented minority groups, as well as the need for a more scientificallyliterate citizenry. There is now a substantial literature on teaching practices that can improvestudent learning and academic

students. To meet the problems of tomorrow, civil engineers need to be creative, be able to think critically and have analytical thinking skills. …the ability to create/innovate -- to try to do what has not been done -- is at the heart of engineering, whether one is involved in practice or academia. From Day 1 of their formal education, the CE student should see the value of and learn how to have to develop a problem- solving and creative/innovation mind set. Consider a creativity/innovation outcome and/or a creativity/innovation thread throughout the rubric. Creativity and innovation is creating the technologies that underlie the infrastructure of tomorrow. There will be innovation in infrastructure, the question is how big of a
