for Engineering Education, 2012 Integration of Information Technology Software in a Civil Engineering Program – A Follow-UpAbstract Aptitude and skills in information technology remain critical in the Civil Engineering profession.Recognizing this, many universities include the development of information technologyknowledge in their vision and goals, as well as their ABET outcomes and objectives. The CivilEngineering program at the United States Military Academy (USMA) is one such university.Since 2007, the program has included industry-leading software from Autodesk and Bentley. Thesoftware has been introduced in a site design course, used in follow-on courses, and integratedinto the program’s capstone course

Most students indicate that if sustainable design makesthem more marketable or is required for employment they would embrace such practices.IntroductionIn current discourses regarding environment, global climate change, and other sustainabilityissues, one common assumption is that humans will be able to rely solely on engineeringsolutions to solve environmental predicaments. However, even though the discipline ofengineering has been charged with creating solutions to global environmental problems, theculture of engineering is not currently, singularly focused on or equipped for innovatingsolutions to sustainability challenges.

It is a lot ofwork, but there is no better way to learn what other programs are doing.ABET is us. The ABET staff is very small and most of the accreditation work is done byvolunteer evaluators and team chiefs who are either practitioners or academic faculty in similarprograms. We are in essence a self-regulating entity. And hopefully if we do a good jobpolicing ourselves, nobody else will ever have to.Bibliography1 Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc
