– including five years as the director of the Civil Engineering Division. As di- rector of the Civil Engineering Division at USMA, Dr. Lenox supervised nineteen faculty in the ABET- accredited civil engineering program. He was the USMA nominee for the 1997 Carnegie Foundation Professor of the Year Award. He served as chair of both the Civil Engineering Division and the Middle- Atlantic Section of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), and as a member of ASCE’s Educational Activities Committee. Dr. Lenox also served as co-principal instructor of the NSF-supported Teaching Teachers to Teach Engineering (T4E) workshops at West Point in 1996, 1997, and 1998. Upon his retirement from the U.S. Army on October 1

limited to steel, concrete,wood and masonry. Usually, only three out of four materials are covered in most civil engineer-ing curriculums.The programs are intensive in their teaching of math and science and a great amount of trainingis devoted to objective, critical and analytical thinking, supported by rigorous mathematicalanalysis, commonly computer-aided. Very little training in engineering education is devoted toaesthetics, space planning, and visual methods.Structural engineers are valued for their understanding of structural systems behavior, and theirability to quantitatively predict, evaluate and design it to prevent failures. This significant re-sponsibility requires a great deal of training, often forcing structural engineering
