Expectations for the Masters-Level Structural Engineering Graduate Preparedness using the Delphi MethodIntroduction Structural engineering educational programs in the U.S. are facing great challenges incorrelating their programs and goals with the needs of their graduates and the structuralengineering profession in today‟s constantly changing global environment. The ASCE Raise theBar initiative within civil engineering, its call for education beyond the undergraduate level forfuture entry into civil engineering practice, and ongoing and upcoming changes in professionalregistration emphasizes the need for structural engineering at the graduate level to be carefullyplanned.

caretaker. The Bridge House was recently transformed by undergraduatestudents6 into a structural dynamics laboratory, including aesthetic rehabilitation, fabrication andinstallation of testing equipment and the addition of removable braces to alter the buildingdynamic response. The Bridge House is ideal for vibration experimentation since it is simpleenough for the students to quickly model by hand calculations and with computational models,yet complex enough so that the results can be readily applied to an actual structure. Thestructural system is straightforward consisting of ordinary moment frames in the N/S direction,and concentrically braced frames in the E/W direction. Removable braces were also installed inthe E/W direction (see Figure 1c
Energy Audit Labenhances existing energy audits, traditionally conducted within NDE, and expands this lab toapply to both the NDE and DfE courses, where the built environment is closely examined.Learning objectives and associated Bloom’s levels of intellectual behavior9 for the IRT EnergyAudit Lab are listed in Table 1. Teams of students conducted an energy audit of an existingstructure by utilizing an IRT camera in addition to a regular digital camera. In the energy auditlab assignment, shown in Figure 3, students utilized temperature information generated by theIRT camera and calculated the potential building’s energy losses for the area(s) depicted in thecamera images. Students took this quantitative approach one step further and calculated
trade-offs in the production of an artifact that bestsatisfies customer and other stakeholder preferences12”. Sustainable design only requires thatsustainability principles be incorporated into this complex decision-making process to promoteconsideration of and balance between the three sustainability pillars. Describing this innovativeapproach to design, Skerlos et.al.12 states that sustainable design “brings focus” to the design Page 23.408.2process, while McLennan13 says that sustainable design “expand[s] the definition of good designto include a wider set of issues”. Overall, designing for sustainability is not an alternative totraditional

Challenge-based instruction serves as amechanism for students to develop these skills and abilities by framing classroom instructionaround a challenge or set of challenges. A challenge problem, introduced at the beginning of a Page 23.281.2course or topic, provides an introduction to the major concepts that will be presented as a part offormal learning. The major concepts are thenpresented in a classroom setting with thechallenge(s) serving as a focal point. Studentsare then required to identify the fundamentalmechanics

Races were first held in the 1960’s on alocal-level as intramurals. In the 1970s the first regional competitions were held, and in 1988,ASCE with sponsorship provided by Master Builders, Inc., organized the first nationalcompetition in East Lansing, Michigan. In the last decade this competition has even expandedinto European nations.[8] With 24 consecutive years of experience at the national level, theconcrete canoe competition

The student responses were focused on what theyhoped these courses would provide them for their future engineering career. Although thestudents appeared to have a high level of understanding of the concepts of LLL (Q-2), thestudents were not able to envision how these courses would prepare them for life-longlearning. With these results, the instructors were better able to structure the remainingassignment(s) with the goal of applying the concepts of LLL to real life engineeringproblems. An emphasis was placed on the assessment of critical thinking skills in designing arubric for

in the solution of broadly defined problems. Civil Engineering Technician (CE Technician) is a person typically performing task- oriented scientific or engineering related activities and exercising technical judgments commensurate with those specific tasks. A person working as a CE Technician works under the direct control and personal supervision of a CE Professional or direction of a CE Technologist. A person initially obtains status as a CE Technician through the completion of requisite formal education, experience, examination(s), and/or other requirements as specified by an appropriate credentialing body.
