After a series of unsuccessful attempts at accurately modeling the cables, the group beganto search SAP2000’s documentation in hopes of determining a method to solve this problem. Inthe SAP2000’s reference manual, the group found a tip stating that one could substitute a straightline object (i.e. an angle member) in place of a cable5. The documentation stated that this couldbe done when only the effects of the cables

, surveying was very clearly viewed as a majorcomponent of a standard Civil Engineering curriculum. In the late 1920’s, the University ofWashington required 27 credits of surveying courses, which comprised 14% of the credits for theCivil Engineering program [3].Surveying was clearly having its heyday during this time, but by the mid-20th century, theimportance of surveying relative to other areas of Civil Engineering slowly started to diminish.As Civil Engineering broadened its purview, it began to include subdisciplines such as structuralengineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, construction science andmanagement, transportation and traffic engineering, and hydraulic engineering. In addition, CivilEngineering became a much

For the studentsin courses with UGTF resources, the survey questions focused on their interactions withUGTFs (how often and what type), if they felt there were enough UGTFs in the classroom,and if they perceived their learning to be better supported in courses with UGTFs. Finally, thesurvey questions for UGTFs focused on their interactions with students and faculty, thepreparation and communication with the instructional team, the impact of the experience ontheir own understanding and confidence in the course material, on their connection toother students and faculty in their department, and on the development of professional skills.
