Page 14.1024.2the obligation of professional engineers to attain competence in their discipline of practice—andto subsequently maintain and grow their knowledge to keep pace with advances in mathematics,science, technology, and engineering.Many in the engineering profession believe that this is about the very survival of engineering as alearned profession. 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. This is a continuing trend, and it is a trend that is contrary to the interest ofthe public health, safety, and welfare—as public

The survey alsoindicated that the workbook/textbook isn’t as useful as it could be.Question 7’s apparent low satisfaction by the students regarding future use of the BentleyLEARN Server may stem from two sources. 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

are exacerbated by general fatigue experiencedby students enrolled in rigorous engineering programs, where there are high expectations forstudent work completed outside of instructional contact hours. Educators must thus be vigilantin monitoring the level of interest they engender in their students during lectures4.One solution as to how to maintain interest is to develop demonstrations to accompanytraditional lecture materials, thereby encouraging students to interact and engage in hands-onlearning. Hong5 noticed that many structural engineering students are too focused on “problem-solving procedure[s]” with limited attention to developing true understanding. In response,Hong proposes active learning techniques with emphasis on “visual

The tank was filled by pouring sand slowly from the funnel at approximately25.4 mm (1 in.) above the base of the container. To ensure the sand was poured evenly in rows,the funnel was moved at a rate at approximately 15 cm/s (6 in/s). Once 25.4 mm of sand coveredthe entire base of the tank, the funnel was raised approximately 25.4 mm to allow for constantfalling distance. The funnel’s direction of motion was also positioned
