How doyou define the best design? What is a safe design? What are the factor(s) that will affect thedesign the most? Phrasing it differently, knowledge resides in the questions that can be asked andthe answers that can be provided(2) .A sequence of inquiry characterized by a hierarchy: certainquestions need to be asked and answered before other questions can be asked.

With the correct mix of cement, water, aggregate, andadmixtures in addition to “Stamina, Teamwork, Strength, Imagination and Commitment,” yes,it will!The use of concrete to make a canoe is an unusual application of a common building material.In the 1970’s when some civil engineering college students decided to build a canoe usingreinforced concrete, concrete boats were not an entirely new idea. In 1848, Joseph Louis Labotof France built the first concrete dingy. The first ocean-going concrete ship was an 84-footlong boat constructed

It is not enough forstudents merely to be in a foreign country, participating in what John Dewey derisively called the“spectator theory of knowledge.” They must be engaged with the “Other,” actively andexperientially learning about the culture in which they are studying.

Friedman makes a strong case for the need to better prepare for this marketplace.However, the engineering and engineering education communities were aware ofFriedman’s “Flat World” well before the book was published. In the 1990’s, it had beenobserved that engineering graduates needed improvement in real-world skills such asdesign, teamwork, and communication, as well as a better understanding of howengineering projects fit into bigger pictures2,3.
