designed tobegin development of skills in the first semester (CvEEN 1000), broaden and deepen them in thefifth or sixth semester (CvEEN 3100), and culminate the development in the eighth semester(CvEEN 4910).In each of the three courses, a learn-by-doing paradigm is implemented. The culminating course,CvEEN 4910, is similar to many senior-level capstone design courses now common throughoutthe nation. A centralized design project with external contacts (clients) and authentic designconstraints drives the learning experiences. Primary student products include an EngineeringProposal, Engineering Feasibility Study, and a Preliminary Engineering Report. The 3100 and1000 courses are critical in developing the professional skills that the students are

IntroductionThe culminating design experience for civil engineering majors at the United States MilitaryAcademy (USMA) is CE492, Design of Structural Systems. CE492 serves as a “capstone”experience or one in which students are faced with a multi-disciplinary design projectincorporating facets from all previous civil engineering courses. Previous capstone experienceshave required students to design structures planned for construction or currently underconstruction at the Academy, thus providing an opportunity for site visitations and activeparticipation with key players in the project development process.

It is anticipated thatstudent involvement with the second year IDP will better prepare them for their capstone projectin their fourth year.The IDP was expected to further illustrate the value of teamwork and provide students with theexperience of working with others. The intent of this collaboration was to encourage students toshare ideas and build off each other’s thoughts to create an optimal design. Finally, group workallowed for the students to gain time management experience in setting and meeting deadlines,which must be completed both individually and by the group as a whole.4.0

Interestingly, the highestrated item on the Likert scale for both AREN and CVEN students of teamwork was ranked only3rd or 5th highest on the BOK2 survey. Perhaps the context of administered the BOK2 survey inthe capstone design course which is based on team design projects impacted the ratings.

It is significant tonote that even some of the lowest ranked items on the BOK2 survey (i.e. contemporary andhistorical perspectives) had average Likert ratings above moderately important (3 on the Likertscale

Due to theaforementioned reduction in credit hours and the coincidental expansion of topics to teach, the civilengineering faculty at OIT did not have space in the curriculum to develop new service learning orprofessional skills courses and they desired to have these skills introduced prior to entering thecapstone design experience. As such, the civil engineering faculty at OIT attempted to introduce thebasics of management, business, public policy, and leadership piecemeal throughout the curriculum,especially during a course on project management.

Inaddition, five senior civil engineering students mapped their personal course experiences to theBOK2. One student noted that the capstone design course alone covered 21 of the 24 BOK2outcomes, indicating that a single course can achieve a wide range of objectives and one neednot view the BOK2 outcomes as “course-by-course” requirements.
