. Success in this competition is based on a combination of factors; theability to combine recent advances in concrete technology with the concepts of navalarchitecture; the use of effective project management; and the motivation, creativity and spiritof a team of young men and women who take extreme pride in their work.4At the concrete canoe competition, there are four main areas that are judged; finished product,oral presentation, written technical report and the races, each part now worth 25% of the totalcompetition points. To successfully address the project of designing and building a concretecanoe, students must plan the structure of their engineering design team. Initially, the teamsmust focus on designing a fast and maneuverable hull, a
an academic transcript. Moreover, even if this expertise were available, mostboards simply would not have the time to perform such evaluations.Historically, the U.S. licensure system has addressed this limitation through accreditation. Thelicensure community supported the establishment of the Engineers’ Council for ProfessionalDevelopment (ECPD) in 1932 to develop a system “whereby the progress of the young engineertoward professional standing can be recognized by the public, by the profession, and by the manhimself, through the development of technical and other qualifications which will enable him tomeet minimum professional standards.”2 ECPD was subsequently renamed the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology (ABET); and while

Through these accords, participating organizations recognize the substantialequivalency of each other’s accreditation processes and of their graduates’ academic preparationto enter professional practice. Accreditation systems that are substantially equivalent havecomparable—though not necessarily identical—standards, outcomes, and processes. On the
SocietiesABET is a nonprofit organization that accredits university-level programs in applied and naturalscience, computing, engineering, and engineering technology [1]. ABET is also a federation of35 Member Societies, most of which represent the technical disciplines that ABET accredits [2].The current ABET governance structure is illustrated in Figure 1. This organization—which hasbeen in effect since a major ABET governance restructuring in 2015—consists of a Board ofDirectors, a Board of Delegates, and four Area Delegations. The Area Delegations oversee fourassociated ABET Commissions—the operating entities that implement ABET accreditation [3].Within this governance structure, only the Board of Delegates and Area Delegations arerepresentative

The course was developed and co-taught by professors fromcivil engineering and philosophy at the University of Utah with the goals of (1) cultivating in thenext generation of civil engineering professionals – those responsible for planning, designing,managing, and operating water resources systems – a broader sensibility about the culturalclimate in which they will operate, and (2) developing in humanists, social scientists and otherswho will be responsible for shaping and articulating that cultural climate a more groundedunderstanding of the practical water problems facing society and the constraints limitingengineering and technological solutions. Our pedagogical approach was to engage the students incase study analyses and

Graduates are expectedto discuss the basic concepts of architecture in a context of architectural design and history.The design level must be in a context that:a. Considers the systems or processes from other architectural engineering curricular areas,b. Works within the overall architectural design,c. Includes communication and collaboration with other design or construction team members,d. Includes computer-based technology and considers applicable codes and standards, ande. Considers fundamental attributes of building performance and sustainability.Faculty -- The program must demonstrate that faculty
