(2001), who changed the category descriptors to verbs and swappedthe order of the two most complex categories. They also redefined the cognitive domain fromBloom’s original two dimensional hierarchy of increasing cognitive complexity to a threedimensional intersection of the Cognitive Process Dimension and the Knowledge Dimension.

As ASCE considers publishing a thirdedition of the Body of Knowledge (BOK), the profession should consider adding a new licensureoutcome. A professional licensure outcome would influence both the cognitive and affectivedomains of an engineer’s pre-licensure education and clarify that civil engineers must beknowledgeable of professional licensure laws and regulations prior to becoming a licensedprofessional engineer.IntroductionThe civil engineering profession has a very distinct skill set that must be obtained througheducation and experience.

years of engineering curricula had historically been devoted tothe basic sciences while the last two years had been devoted to engineering sciences. Based onan expressed desire from engineering employers that engineers not only be content experts, butalso have the abilities to communicate and work as a part of a team, some modifications wereintroduced to the traditional sequence to accommodate these needs [1]. Capstone courses wereintroduced into the senior year of engineering curricula in an effort to connect practicalapplications with the more theoretical nature of upper-level courses, helping prepare graduatesfor industry. This shift was moderately successful, but left many students still lacking exposureto practical information about

Thus, the practice of structural engineering in the U.S. is described as a “shrinking space.”  The remaining non-routine structural engineering work is becoming increasingly complex, as a result of advances in building codes and standards, design aids and tools, project delivery methods, and construction materials.  To an increasing degree, the graduates of today’s typical baccalaureate civil engineering programs are inadequately prepared for professional practice

breadth needed to be a licensed professionalengineer. Most engineering licensure boards, groups that are typically under state governmentcontrol, depend on accreditation organizations to enforce rigorous education standards.Ultimately, public safety is the common thread that connects engineering education toprofessional engineering licensure and the public. The public and their elected representativeswant safe infrastructure, designed and constructed by trustworthy engineers, but they also desireless expensive college education and higher graduation rates [1], [2]. State governments and statelegislatures are accountable to constituents who feel the cost of higher education is too expensive[3], [4]. A former university president stated, “Few
