How doyou define the best design? What is a safe design? What are the factor(s) that will affect thedesign the most? Phrasing it differently, knowledge resides in the questions that can be asked andthe answers that can be provided(2) .A sequence of inquiry characterized by a hierarchy: certainquestions need to be asked and answered before other questions can be asked. There is a setprocedure which constitutes the inquiry process in an epistemological context. Taxonomies ofsuch a procedure or inquiry process have been extended to computational models(4) , to

question is, are we ready forthe future? The answer is not clear given that there are multiple contributing factors. However, tobetter prepare for the future, we need to precisely document and evaluate our collectiveexperience during the pandemic and share the lessons learned. The present study attempted totake a step in this direction. More studies are required to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 onevery sector and stakeholder of higher education.6. References[1].

The intent of this course is to introduce the student to thebroad field of civil engineering and provide new opportunities to develop a skill set thatwill help foster individual growth and learning. This course assists the student indetermining the area(s) of emphasis that he or she might want to follow for his or herbachelor’s degree, and introduces the student to problem solving skills
additional weekfor completion, the project can be expanded to include more variables: additional trussgeometries, which inclueds member orientation, length, and thickness. In addition, an instructorcan require each individual group to 3D print their own truss (rather than simply demonstratingthe printing procedure and conducting the failure loading test of the two optimized trusses). Thistype of expansion, of course, will require a significant time investment. It typically takes onehour to print the members needed to fully erect the truss at normal printing speeds (60-80 mm/s).The time required to train the teaching assistant (TA) to install and troubleshoot the 3D printer,and work with the g-code generator should take approximately 5-10 hours
requirements be modified sothat students would use their general education classes to pursue a “theme.” For example,students could graduate with a theme in government by taking several general educationcourses on government and public policy. Other suggested themes were: Ethics Business Management Geography International Studies Engineering HistoryThe goal of the theme requirement would be to help students develop an area of competencyuseful to them in their future careers as citizen engineers. This theme requirement was in-spired by the curriculum ThreadsTM requirements employed by the College of Computing atthe Georgia Institute of Technology.9New Infrastructure Course(s)One goal of the revised curriculum is to create a

Credentialing toRaise the Bar—subsequently renamed the Task Committee on Credentialing (TCC). The TCCwas charged to “Develop a plan identifying how ASCE can best utilize an internal credentialingprogram to validate fulfillment of the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge (CEBOK),including a timeline for implementation, an estimated budget, and a marketing plan to promote acredentialing program(s) to members and owners [3][6].”The TCC began its work in July 2018. Also starting in July 2018 but working independently ofthe TCC, the authors of this paper supported the TCC’s work by (1) analyzing the credentialingsystem used in the medical profession and (2) using this model as the basis for a proposed civilengineering credentialing system.
