This regular change-cycle reflects three broadly acceptedconclusions drawn from ASCE’s experience in developing the first two editions of the CE BOK,from 2002 to the present:  A professional body of knowledge is a dynamic entity that reflects the ever-changing nature of professional jurisdictions. A given profession (or professional group) can be strengthened by formally articulating and publishing its body of knowledge, but only if the profession is willing

In December 2008, theCivil Engineering Assessment Plan (CEAP) was developed and approved, based on thedepartment’s existing “one-assessment-plan-fits-all” format that was developed for all programsin 2004. The assessment plan requires intensive effort to implement and lacks consistency anddocumentation in some aspects of assessment. In order to meet the ABET requirements

It refers to active learning that isguided by motivation to learn, metacognition (awareness of one’s knowledge and beliefs), andstrategic action (planning, monitoring, and evaluating personal progress, and taking properaction). A wealth of research has supported that optimal academic performance is strongly tied tothe extent to which the learner uses SRL1. Equipping students with SRL abilities not onlycontributes to success in formal education, but also prepares them for lifelong learning2.

While this process isintroduced in CE300 and reinforced in CE350, it is not until the third course that students areable to apply their knowledge to a large engineering problem.

In addition, due tothe current COVID-19 pandemic, many of these programs will participate in a virtual ABETreview and site visit. Depending on the success of these virtual visits, the author theorizes thatfuture ABET accreditation reviews may continue to be remote, given the accessibility of videoconferencing tools and the various savings manifested in costs, time, and environmental impactsfrom reviewers not needing to travel to the institutions.Despite

developing new sustainability-enriched engineering education material is the need for knowledge and skills from multipledisciplines to be incorporated into learning experiences. This creates limitations to whatinstructors can accomplish with students lacking the necessary knowledge and skills unless thereare added requirements for pre-requisite coursework, additional time taken in class to teach extramaterial, or extra assignments for students to learn the material independently. Each of thesesolutions means the course must be modified to reduce content or increase time and effort ofstudents to enable new content to be included. In most cases this is a major impediment and onethat prevents instructors from moving forward with plans for anything more
