October 1998. This initial version ofthe policy stated that the Society “supports the concept of the master’s degree as the FirstProfessional Degree for the practice of civil engineering at the professional level.”1 Chargedwith implementing Policy Statement 465, the ASCE Committee on Academic Prerequisites forProfessional Practice (CAP3) began by analyzing the three fundamental characteristics of aprofession—an ethic of service, a professional organization, and a specialized body ofknowledge.2 The committee’s analysis of the civil engineering profession suggested that onlythe first two of these three characteristics had been adequately defined. Thus began a broad-based effort to define the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge.In January 2004 this

Understanding typically requires more than abstract knowledge. For example, an engineer with an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility should be able to identify and to communicate ethical issues arising from a practical case study. • Ability is a capability to perform with competence. An engineer with the ability to design a particular system can take responsibility for the system, identifying all the necessary

However, there has also beenextensive work on integrating communication skills throughout the engineering curriculum andcourses, and that is the focus of this work [6]–[8]. Engineering faculty generally value written communication skills and recognize that theyhave a role in helping students to develop those skills.

on Undergraduate Research, undergraduate research is defined as “aninquiry or investigation conducted by an undergraduate student that makes an originalintellectual or creative contribution to the discipline [1].” As stated in literature, undergraduateswho conduct research show improvements in thinking independently, thinking critically, puttingideas together, solving problems, analyzing data, analyzing literature, interpreting researchfindings, conducting ethical research, writing and communicating [2-9]. Literature also assertsthat it is rare for students to have enough opportunity to gain higher-order thinking skills fromtheir undergraduate research experiences [10].Students involved in undergraduate research also report outcomes that may

Even the Code of Hammurabi identified over3,500 years ago the responsibility of builders to their clients, and in 1963 the ASCE Code ofEthics stated a fundamental canon of its Code of Ethics was the engineer’s responsibility for thehealth, safety and welfare of the public (Vesilind and Gunn, 1998). Vesilind and Gunn (1998)also remind us the 1977 code of ethics included the following statement: “Engineering should becommitted to improving the environment to enhance the quality of life.” Even so, formallyrecognizing the commitment for
