Alternatively a candidate could complete an accreditedintegrated MEng degree. Previously Chartered Engineers were not required to completeadvanced education. Engineers not completing advanced

Specifically, this study shows the potential of adopting Internet Web-based technologies to allow for real-time video monitoring and execution of cutting-edgeexperiments in undergraduate geotechnical engineering classes. The students’ activities withinthe module are centered on designing and building a model of a shallow foundation on a sanddeposit utilizing a centrifuge facility and using this
technology and its use in discovering the concepts and principles of geotechnical engineering. 2) to learn the methods and devices used to construct models in addition to the logistics of testing. 3) to use a variety of resources in order to interpret and analyze the experimental results.The project was split into several segments in order to account for the time differences andcourse schedules at the different schools. The instructors guided their local students until thepoint at which they were put into groups. The project was divided into two main tasks, whichwere performed collaboratively between the group members but submitted individually. Studentsat the host institution were given extensive equipment and safety training. They

Engineering education can provide students with thetools to approach the complex problems of the 21st century while considering these aspects,which are key for designing sustainable systems2.

This study found that providing worked examplesgreatly influenced student preferences of an online homework system, and that the mostpreferred characteristics of any homework format were the ability to attempt problems multipletimes and to stop/start at their own pace. The findings of this study can guide educators,administrators, and software designers towards formats that meet the preferences of currentundergraduate engineering students.2.

. Page 23.409.2IntroductionEnsuring that students learn the requisite fundamentals of engineering and its mathematical andscientific underpinnings is a daunting challenge; however, students benefit from theincorporation of other skills and a deeper understanding of the professional environment into thefull curriculum. Such benefits spurred the Engineering Accreditation Commission of theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) to develop an outcomes-basedaccreditation initiative called Engineering Criteria 20001 (EC2000). One of the EC 2000 criteria(Criterion 3 under “Program Outcomes and Assessment”) is the necessity for engineeringgraduates to demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively.While considered progressive and

From an assessment standpoint, thepretest and posttest question responses did not clearly distinguish whether it was the real systemdata or the real-time availability of the data that students found to be beneficial. Futureassessments will be designed to distinguish between these categories.

This paper presents information from a Delphi-type survey on the additionalcompetencies expected by the structural engineering community to be gotten by the entrance-level engineer during the first 5 years of experience following completion of a masters-levelgraduate program. It does this by defining the competencies as quantified using Bloom’staxonomy [1] expected by the structural engineering profession in 44 specific subtopics within thefollowing 5 general areas: A-Basic Mechanics and Engineering Tools, B-General StructuralEngineering Tools, C-Technology and Communication Tools, D-Structural Engineering Topicsand Tools, E-Management and Professional Tools at both
