TheS-L approach motivates students to work harder, be more curious, connect learning to personalexperience, and demonstrate deeper understanding of subject matter [1].The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) has a relatively new set ofcriteria for engineering programs.

A possibleside effect of a three-year civil engineering degree is the creation of a “tiered system” within theprofession similar to physician assistants (PA) and physicians in the medical profession.
