(3) The CEBOK3 added a stand-alone outcome on engineering economics. (4) Separate CEBOK2 outcomes on teamwork and leadership were combined into a single CEBOK3 outcome. (5) The CEBOK2 outcome on professional and ethical responsibility was split into two CEBOK3 outcomes; and the new stand-alone professional responsibilities outcome was expanded in scope, as noted in (2) above.

While there are multiple contributing factors for identifying a givenoutcome as challenging, in general the difficulty for most programs relates to the BOK-specifiedlevel of achievement for the outcome.A comprehensive analysis is presented of [University A’s] civil engineering curriculum withrespect to the BOK2 outcomes at the levels of achievement associated with the baccalaureatedegree. The current curriculum addresses, in some fashion, all 24 BOK2 outcomes. Theprogram fully addresses, to the recommended level of achievement, 6 of the 24 BOK2 outcomes;the remaining 18 BOK2 outcomes are not addressed to the specified level of

The history of development of practice inmany engineering disciplines is, in large part, the story of failures and of the changes tostandards and procedures made as the result of forensic analyses. In addition to technical issues,concepts such as professional and ethical responsibility are highlighted by the cases. Somespecific examples are presented.Introduction The requirements that civil engineering programs have to meet now, and will have tomeet in the future, are contained in a number of documents.

]The civil engineering profession historically has had the highest percentage of licensedengineers. [12] Many job functions require a licensed engineer to seal documents and maintainresponsible charge of projects. This trend continues today as over forty percent of civilengineers are registered. [13] Licensure has continually been associated with the protection ofpublic health, safety, and welfare which aligns very closely with many of the functions of civilengineers. The ASCE and National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) codes of ethicssupport licensure and the concept that the civil engineering profession is tied to ethical practicethrough licensure.

The student response to the first courseoffering was highly encouraging. Student survey results indicated that the course seemed to beeffective at addressing a number of important ABET student outcomes. Rather than teachingengineering history per se, the course teaches engineering through historical case studies. Thecourse provides an opportunity to integrate professional and ethical responsibility, impacts ofengineering solutions, sustainability

By realizing this importance, civilengineering programs may restructure their instructional efforts to hone these skills in theirstudents before graduation and entry into the civil engineering profession. Switching to anemphasis on open ended problems such as those seen in alternative analysis represents onestrategy for emphasizing critical thinking4.
