Menare also interested in study abroad, thus this effort would have implications for the recruitment ofmen. During the focus group discussions, one man stated that he investigated each university hewas considering attending to be sure he could fit in study abroad with his curriculum. This wouldsuggest that study abroad is an important aspect in recruiting all students, but it may beespecially important to advertise these programs when recruiting women.

Additionally, on heavy civilprojects requiring heavy construction equipment, there is always the need for trestles andequipment bridges used as temporary access. What is unique about these topical areas is that theyfall under the subject area called temporary structures, which happens to fall outside the requiredcurriculum of the CM (construction management) and ConE or CEM (construction engineeringor construction engineering management) programs in the US. The objective of this paper istwofold. The first is to make the case for including temporary structures as a required part of theCM, ConE or CEM curriculum, and secondly, to recommend an instructional design

Abstract A two semester senior level capstone design course has been restructured (Senior Design I and II) in response to the outcomes defined by the industry to assure job ready engineers and outcomes set by the academicians to assure math and science based fundamentals. The restructuring purpose was also to align the course outcomes with the college mission of graduating „Career- Ready‟ engineers. The department offers programs in civil engineering and construction engineering. Both program curriculums require a two semester course on a comprehensive design application. The courses are designed to meet specific ABET outcomes. Also to meet an additional program outcome of: students are able to explain

All modules as wellas the total curriculum have to come with a description of the study load of the “normal”student. This study load is at least the time necessary for a “normal” student to fulfill thedemands of the study program and to successfully finish his studies. The study load of onesemester is 30 ECTS-credits, which are awarded to the successful student per semester. - ECTS stands for European Credit Transfer (and Accumulation) System. – The basis for anormal work load is very much comparable to the normal work time in any normalprofession

As a result, I decided to return to my Alma mater to complete a Master’s curriculum with a focus in structural engineering.
