In summary, 30 statesprovide a pathway to licensure for an applicant with a BS degree in engineering technology from Page 22.598.7a program accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of ABET, typicallywith one to four additional years of experience (a total of 5 to 8 years of engineering experience).Thirty five states allow a pathway for graduates with a BS in Engineering from non-ABET EACaccredited programs (domestic or foreign), and twenty states provide an alternate pathway, alsowith additional experience requirements, for those with a baccalaureate degree in science
for this is that students may carry the belief that writing is notimportant in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. Anothersimilar reason could be that the required university composition course was focused onelements of writing that may not have been perceived as relevant in STEM fields. Often it isindustry partners that drive the need to improve student writing and address changes in thewriting curriculum for engineering courses. One way to explore and improve the writing needsof engineers is through genre theory and/or genre analysis.Genre Theory and Genre Analysis Genre, according to Miller (1984, 2014), is something that defines the context forwhich a piece of writing is written. Thus a genre’s

Most statesrequire at least four years of experiences after completion of an EAC-ABET accreditedengineering degree. However, the education requirement is far from uniform. Many state lawsinclude pathways to licensure for applicants with a non-accredited engineering degree, anengineering technology degree, a non-engineering bachelor’s degree, and no postsecondarydegree. In the following study, state engineering laws and rules were reviewed to determine theeducation, experience, and examination pathways to professional engineering licensure.

For the moment, however, the Big10+ universities provide a convenient framework to begin this discussion. The Big 10+ group decided to focus its effort on composing a collective vision for CEE re-search thrusts into the foreseeable future. This paper is intended to broadly engage the CEE pro-fession in an important discussion about CEE research thrusts, education, practice, and accredita-tion.Current Research Thrusts Current research thrusts in engineering are dominated by the infusion of nanotechnology,bioengineering and information technology into the
events. Modern Civil Engineering technology incorporated into thecourse included AutoCAD (2019 version) and ArcGIS 10.3.1 as drafting and mapping softwarepackages, respectively, each of which is widely used in the Civil Engineering industry.Furthermore, new Nikon NPL 322+ Reflectorless Total Stations greatly enhanced the coursemodule in surveying, enabling students to collect existing elevation data for the project in a moreefficient way that is commensurate with current industry practices. For the design project andthroughout the course, important concepts were incorporated or strengthened that faculty in theCivil and Environmental Engineering Department at Villanova University identified as currentcurriculum weaknesses, including reading

The initial edition of this body of knowledge (CE-BOK1) was published in2004 and defined the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSA) required of an individual enteringthe practice of civil engineering at the professional level. At the time, it was considered agroundbreaking document and it received considerable attention and praise.While a body of knowledge is essential to the idea of professionalism, it can quickly becomeobsolete in the face of changes in knowledge, technology and the marketplace of professions. Inorder to remain effective, and for the profession to stake firm jurisdictional

a STEM(Science Technology Engineering and Math) related field, learn and comprehend materialat universities across the country is crucial for effective teaching. Two main approachesto teaching and learning alike are the inductive and deductive approaches. The inductiveapproach begins with making observations and taking measurements for analysis andthen arriving at the laws and theories that explains why you saw what you saw. This isthe natural learning style for students. The deductive approach begins with the laws andtheories leading to applications and is the natural way for professors to teach the material.It is obvious there is a conflict of interest between professors and students, which can actas a barrier for effective learning and
