support further efforts toutilize student group activities by reworking the required Annual Report format to encourageBOK related activities. The current report format is reflected in the list of student groupactivities presented above – it would be a relatively simple matter to add or remove categories. Itmight be even more effective for a CE program to set their own requirements for their studentgroup’s report(s) such that the program has an annual source of assessment data to draw uponthat is catered to their individual program. This link to the BOK and other criteria would onlyhelp the annual report be a more purposeful and apparent part of any civil engineering program.It could also help to cement the relationship between its student

Theeconomic consultant who undertakes such a valuation must use judgment in deciding not onlywhich methods to use to assess values but also whether and how to quantify them. If s/hedecides to quantify environmental values, different methods will yield higher or lower figuresand it will be tempting (especially if s/he wants future work) to use the method that suits theclient's desired outcome [9]. Students will find out how subjective such an evaluation processcan be through the following exercise in which they can make judgments to conduct

A person working as a CE Technician works under the direct control and personal supervision of a CE Professional or direction of a CE Technologist. A person initially obtains status as a CE Technician through the completion of requisite formal education, experience, examination(s), and/or other requirements as specified by an appropriate credentialing body.

hascontributed to a high degree of willingness of staff to take the time out of their busyschedules and help students.In almost all 10 years, at some time the course instructors and faculty advisors have hadto walk a fine line in project management issues, choosing between three basic options: 1. Let students work out the issues with possible detrimental effects to course or deliverables 2. Provide limited executive decisions to positively affect the outcome(s) 3. Weigh in heavily and interrupt the interactions that might (or might not) work themselves out in a timely manner by the studentsSuch decisions are difficult at times, and Option 3 will typically result in meetingdeadlines but with a less valuable student learning process

The cognitive domain taxonomy is widely accepted in many fields and has beenidentified as, “arguably one of the most influential education monographs of the past halfcentury.”6 The taxonomies are a language that describes the progressive development of anindividual in each domain and are defined as follows7: • Cognitive: of, relating to, being, or involving conscious intellectual activity. • Affective: relating to, arising from, or influencing feelings or emotions. • Psychomotor: of or relating to motor action directly proceeding from mental
