The other team(s) must then apply to work on other projects.In the case of larger development project, the faculty generate partners with municipalities anddesign engineers to provide relevant site specific data to include survey data, utility locations,and wetland delineations to list some examples.

The results of thissurvey suggest that knowing more about the structure did in fact make it more appealing in anumber of ways.In the future, the researchers are interested in using various aspects of the sculpture in a numberof different courses to determine if the sculpture, as a learning tool, can not only improve thedegree to which people think about technical, social, and environmental issues, but the degree towhich they can actually learn more about these issues.

These observations may, in turn, shed some light onwhether there can be parallel pathways for becoming a civil engineering designer and a licensedprofessional engineer.BackgroundEver since the split of the “engineering” discipline in the mid-1950’s into engineeringtechnology and engineering, there has been debate concerning the place and purpose to be filledwithin the engineering profession by graduates of Bachelor of Science (B.S.) engineeringtechnology
