The second report isentitled “Educating the Engineer of 2020 – Adapting Engineering Education to the NewCentury” (NAE 2005).The second report validates ASCE Policy 465 by stating that: “It is evident that the exploding body of science and engineering knowledge cannot be accommodated within the context of the traditional four year baccalaureate degree.”In addition, the first recommendation of the second report indicates that: “#1 The baccalaureate degree should be recognized as the “pre- engineering” degree or “bachelor of arts” in engineering degree, depending on the course content and reflecting the career aspirations of the student.” (NAE

Your team will be evaluated on the quality of the feedback provided – being too easy or too hard will not help anyone improve as well as instructions on marking projects and grading rubrics.”It is critical to emphasize what students are learning in terms of course content, as well as whatthey are gaining in other ways from performing the peer-review cycle.

Even though surveys do produce useful datapoints if the return rates are acceptable, the results are subjective based on theresponder’s bias unless the questions are crystal clear. However, low survey responserates appear to be acceptable when the group is composed of homogeneous populationswith strong attitudes, perspectives due to similar age, sex, location, etc. 10 With such awide variety of career paths for CE graduates, low return rates can be problematic.Anyone can use SurveyMonkey11 to generate results, but the crafting of survey questionsis an art and properly developed survey questions are necessary if

Many end up owning their own business or management the business affairs of a public agency. Engineers are responsible for writing and implementing the codes, standards, and public policies that govern our field. Almost all professional engineers will end up managing projects and acting as leaders for junior engineers. As such, a basic understanding of the principles of business, public policy, leadership, and management is an essential

In allcases the civil engineer must be an advocate for ensuring the sustainability of the overall system.Engineering practice is always evolving. Following Koehn, good engineering practice as exhib-ited in for example infrastructure is judged against the best state-of-the-art at the time of designand construction—Kohen’s “sota.” When we review infrastructure from another time, it is fair toask if it met or exceeded the sota of the time. The professional societies play an important role askeepers of the sota and in encouraging its improvement. ASCE’s mission is “To provide essen-tial value to our members, their careers, our

In this variation on the inverted classroom, students initially experience aconcept by completing an in-class, hands-on activity that demonstrates a theory’s behaviorwithout any theoretical explanation. This is followed by the typical flipped approach withhomework to view a video explaining the theory and solve related problems and additional in-class, problem solving in the next class meeting. Early research indicates the flipped-flippedmethodology improves learning, retention and engagement.8Finally, three hands-on activities were developed to
