c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Interdisciplinary Teams through Two Companion Courses on InfrastructureAbstractOne of the program outcome criteria for ABET accreditation is that students demonstrate “anability to function on multidisciplinary teams” (Criterion 3(d)). * An innovative way to meet thiscriterion was piloted at the University of Wisconsin—Platteville in the 2011 Fall Semester by theauthors. During that semester, we taught two infrastructure-related courses. The first course,called “Introduction to Infrastructure Engineering” (I2I), was taken by civil and environmentalengineering students. The second course, “Infrastructure and Society” (I&S), was
calibration, bridge design and evaluation, and reliability of bridge structures. Page 13.1032.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Reliability of Bridges: Significant Addition to Civil Engineering CurriculumAbstractRapid highway system development in the United States in the 1960’s and 1970’s has resulted ina large number of bridges reaching a stage in need of repair, rehabilitation, or replacement.Truck loads have also been steadily increasing since then. This has made the situation evenworse. Many developed countries are currently experiencing a problem of aging

Expectations for the Masters-Level Structural Engineering Graduate Preparedness using the Delphi MethodIntroduction Structural engineering educational programs in the U.S. are facing great challenges incorrelating their programs and goals with the needs of their graduates and the structuralengineering profession in today‟s constantly changing global environment. The ASCE Raise theBar initiative within civil engineering, its call for education beyond the undergraduate level forfuture entry into civil engineering practice, and ongoing and upcoming changes in professionalregistration emphasizes the need for structural engineering at the graduate level to be carefullyplanned. The educational content
their collective ability tomeet established research standards. Such assessment is commonly performed through a reviewof the publication(s) associated with that field of practice. By evaluating multiple years ofpublication, the caliber of research can also be evaluated for trends. Several examples of suchself-assessment studies have been performed in the field of engineering education. Thisliterature review is subdivided into three sections: example studies of scholarship, suggestedscholarship standards, and description of scholarship standards.Example Studies of ScholarshipWankat (1999) published the results from a critical review of 20 issues of the Journal ofEngineering Education (JEE).

and “CEE Professional Practice” at Villanova University 11.Both of these universities reported that students were able to obtain the desired attributes, better-preparing them for their careers.The current CE program criteria are more reflective of the BOK I as opposed to the secondedition of the BOK (BOK II). The BOK I had 15 outcomes, while the BOK II has 24. The BOKII divides the 24 outcomes into the following categories: four foundational, 11 technical, and 9professional. There is overlap between the outcomes described in both editions of the BOK andthe outcomes included in ABET‟s criterion 3 (a-k). The BOK II is also more closely tied toBloom‟s taxonomy, as is reflected in the careful choice of active verbs to indicate the level

the research study.A total of 119 practicing engineers volunteered to take the SOMCI, which included 108completed responses. Participants were asked to provide demographic information, includinggender, years of engineering experience, the highest level of education, and engineering area(s)of expertise shown in Table 1. Practicing engineers' years of industry experience varied from 1year to 39 years, and the sample consisted of 26% female, 72% male, and 2% identified as other.As an incentive to take the concept inventory, the engineers were invited to participate in a $250raffle. A total of 153 engineering undergraduates elected to take the concept inventory, with 129complete responses. The students who took the concept inventory came from 8
to determine the oral presentation grade. Near the completion of the course, the attributes and characteristics sheets originally prepared and submitted by each student, but now including all of the comments from their group members evaluating the student‟s performance as PM, are complied and given back to the students. Therefore, at the conclusion of the course, students have a clear record of their individual performance as PMs as measured against their own initial list of the attributes and characteristics of a ‘good’ PM. This seems to be an extremely effective summary document as part of this approach to introducing, stressing and measuring project management performance.Student Reflections
