historical case study inclusion, it is anticipated that students will demonstrate anability to understand the processes of invention and design, apply ethics in engineering, anddemonstrate an understanding of the engineer’s role in and their value to society. Students willalso demonstrate a greater depth of knowledge by developing intuition about expected behaviorof engineered systems and better visualizing the interaction of components of engineeredsystems. Finally, students should experience a change in attitudes about quality engineering as aresult of studying the historical development of engineered systems.It is possible an engineering history course of this nature, offered early in the curriculum, canhelp with retention and success of women

Assessment in an Introduction to Engineering CourseIntroductionIn light of climate change, increasing global population, and the need to repair or replace agingand deteriorating infrastructure, as well as goals such as those articulated by the United Nations[1], it has become critical for civil engineers to have knowledge of the impacts of their projectsover their entire life cycle. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool to examine the environmentalimpact of a product or process throughout its life and the use of LCA in all areas of civilengineering is becoming more common, e.g. [2]–[11]. In addition, the ABET CE criteria states,“The curriculum must prepare graduates to… include principles of sustainability in design” [12].The

With the ethical context of the project, students are then askedto develop a relative ranking of the project alternatives using a simple multi-attribute decisionmaking framework to instill an appreciation of the subjectivity involved in identifying theoptimal project, the ethical dilemmas that could arise in such situations, and the ethicalresponsibilities and pressures that civil engineers may face during project development. Suchcases may be integrated into

An initial survey was used to assess thestudent’s ability to perform structural analysis and interpret construction drawings. A finalsurvey assessed the gains made within each class (i.e., design of reinforced concrete and steel)and the gains made in material related to ancillary topics. Furthermore, comparisons were madebetween the initial and final project submittals in the different classes and between feedbackrecorded by the instructors of each class. The results indicate that horizontal integration ispossible within a structural engineering curriculum and may lead to

While our areais well suited for providing these projects, the approach can be emulated in many otheruniversities. The integration of projects across the curriculum provides a better studentexperience and understanding of civil engineering practice. Projects in the classroom should behandled like projects in professional practice with students taking responsibility for planning andexecuting the projects.

In the first mode, create a spe-cific integrating course around natural resource sustainability as sketched here. An alternative isto use the same integrated natural resource material as examples in other courses in appliedmathematics (differential equations, matrix algebra, control theory, optimization, and stochasticdynamics). This approach loses the coherence of the resource theme as a component of sustain-ability, instead adopting with a “natural resources across the curriculum” theme.InfrastructureOne of the defining characteristics of civil infrastructure

While some might argue for a required stand-alone course in failure analysis for allundergraduate civil engineering students, the argument is likely to fall on deaf ears, as programsshrink their credit hour requirements. A more promising approach is to integrate failure casestudies into existing courses throughout the curriculum. Many professors have done this on aninformal basis for years. Are failure case studies merely tangential to civil engineering education, or are they infact a fundamental aspect of engineering education? Are failure case studies simply interesting,or should they be an essential component of a civil engineering curriculum
