This style of instruction does not accurately reflect anengineer’s job requirements, which often include multi-disciplinary problem-solving andworking in groups. Under recent ABET guidance, there has been an increased push for project-based learning that integrates complex, group problem-solving to better align with employer’sneeds2.

precise calculations  Conducting experiments – incorporating empirical data into design decisionsOne of the best ways to stimulate this kind of system design thinking is to present students withcomplex problems that require them to address each of these areas as the part of a single project.In engineering education, these kinds of design problems are often presented to teams ofstudents, creating an environment in which questions are raised by others and there is a necessityto argue the advantages and disadvantages of alternative responses. These interactions not onlyaddress ABET criteria and increase communication skills, but also increase the likelihood of asuccessful design outcome, given a diverse team of students [1].For problem-based

As cited later, there have been concerns expressed that graduate programshave become less focused on preparing civil engineers for the professional practice ofcivil engineering and more focused on engineering research. An added concern in thisperceived trend has been that the future educators of civil engineers who graduate withPh.D.’s may be less prepared to foster the best possible learning in practical civilengineering design. These concerns may or may not be justified, but the current dialoguecertainly provides an opportunity for civil engineering departments to reexamine theirgraduate programs to identify whether they are doing to their best to prepare theirgraduates.

The best practice is to attach Table 5.1a to each transcript clearly showinghow each course on the student’s transcript satisfies the established curriculum, especially forelective courses. This can be particularly helpful for a practitioner PEV who does not deal withtranscripts on a daily basis. In cases where there is a variation from the established curriculum,attach a waiver or memorandum which acknowledges the variation and explains the reasoningbehind it.Finally, it is very important to remember that PEVs are volunteers.

They are then asked to develop anexperimental procedure to determine the specific weight of each solution. This procedure mustbe designed to reduce experimental error as much as possible. Students typically revert tomaking multiple measurements, which is in-line with what they have been taught to do intraditional laboratory experiments. Consistently, the students arbitrarily pick a volume tomeasure. It is only through guided questions about other experiments such as measuring velocity,that students realize their impact of measurement error will be decreased by measuring thelargest volume possible.
