the undergraduate curriculum) in terms ofcredit hours in these programs ranged from 74.0% to 89.8%1. Core courses make up89.8% of the credit hour requirements at the University of British Columbia (UBC),which until 2010 was the only institution in British Columbia (B.C.) to offer anaccredited program in Civil Engineering. There is therefore limited opportunity to takespecialized and advanced optional technical structural engineering courses in the typicalCanadian undergraduate civil engineering program and in B.C. specifically.The practice of Professional Engineering in Canada is self-regulated by Provincial andTerritorial associations. Each of the associations’ Code of Ethics are modeled on those ofEngineers Canada, which contains an
a prerequisite for certain activities.What separates a licensed PE from other practicing engineers? In short, the PE has completedseveral steps (post-bachelor’s degree) that indicate a high level of commitment to professionalknowledge and competency. These steps typically include passing an 8-hour fundamentals exam,completing four years of progressive engineering experience in a particular field of engineering(under the supervision of a PE), and then passing an 8-hour exam testing knowledge gainedduring the candidate’s period of apprenticeship. Once obtained, the engineer is obligated to meetboth a professional standard of care and code of professional ethics to maintain the license.When is a PE license required? Each state has a definition

Work effectively as a member of an interdisciplinary project design team, bringing unique skills perspectives and background not shared by all team members, and using information provided outside the student’s own background to complete the design. 2. Carry out a sports facility design including the evaluation of considerations such as economics, ethics, societal, environmental impacts, and constructability. 3. Write a project report that is of a quality commonly found to be acceptable in the engineering profession. 4. Orally present the results of an

Feisel and Rosa [4] argue that all threedomains are necessary for the development of effective engineers through laboratoryexperiences. Problem-based learning activities in first-year engineering courses should beexperiential in nature and should seek to

The number of concepts for non-technical aspects of infrastructure (e.g., economic growth, ethics, pollution, etc.), 5. The number of correct links between a non-technical concept to any other concept, and 6. The number of engineering concepts (e.g., constructability, design, resilience, etc.).The six numeric scores from each category can then be compared between the pre- and post-testto determine student learning gains. Detailed instructions for scoring the concept maps are in-cluded in Appendix 1. Further details on the development and
what thefuture can and should be. Numerous individual civil engineers and civil engineeringorganizations around the world have embraced this appeal for a new, enhanced role for theprofession. They call on civil engineers to control their own destiny rather than letting eventscontrol it for them. The document was translated into several languages further illustrating theworldwide appeal this program has.

: (i) technicalcompetence; (ii) managerial & leadership abilities; (iii) business communication skills; (iv)ethical & professional matters; and (v) social awareness.Training is a crucial component and process in the development of these qualities of aprofessional engineer. It is a period for a candidate to acquire practical knowledge, skills, andattitudes which can be learnt only in an industrial or commercial environment, and arecomplementary to those he has already acquired in college through formal education. Thetraining is aimed at developing the technical and managerial abilities of the candidate so as tobetter prepare him to undertake engineering projects as a professional engineer in his later careerwith due consideration of

The number of correct links between a non-technical concept to any other concept, and 6. The number of engineering concepts (e.g., constructability, design, resilience, etc.).The detailed instructions for scoring the concept maps are included in Appendix 3.Initially, we planned to have the concept maps scored by a trained evaluator who did not haveextensive civil engineering infrastructure expertise. However we found, similar to Cañas et al.,25that deep conceptual understanding was needed and so course instructors
Designoutcome: Outcome: Design a system or process in more than one civil engineering context to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, constructability, and sustainability. Criterion: (1) Develop design requirements and a project approach that addresses client needs within the constraints imposed by the client, appropriate design standards/laws, and natural limitations. (2) Identify appropriate alternatives to meet client desires within the constraint imposed and evaluate the feasibility of the alternatives choosing the “best” based upon developed criteria. (3) Synthesize a detail
