attainment of a civil engineering body ofknowledge for entry into the practice of civil engineering in its Policy Statement 465 [3], firstadopted in 1998. The initial edition of this body of knowledge (CE-BOK1) was published in2004 and defined the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSA) required of an individual enteringthe practice of civil engineering at the professional level. At the time, it was considered agroundbreaking document and it received considerable attention and praise.While a body of knowledge is essential to the idea of professionalism, it can quickly becomeobsolete in the face of changes in knowledge, technology and the marketplace of professions. Inorder to remain effective, and for the profession to stake firm jurisdictional
a STEM(Science Technology Engineering and Math) related field, learn and comprehend materialat universities across the country is crucial for effective teaching. Two main approachesto teaching and learning alike are the inductive and deductive approaches. The inductiveapproach begins with making observations and taking measurements for analysis andthen arriving at the laws and theories that explains why you saw what you saw. This isthe natural learning style for students. The deductive approach begins with the laws andtheories leading to applications and is the natural way for professors to teach the material.It is obvious there is a conflict of interest between professors and students, which can actas a barrier for effective learning and

One example quote from a student is,“While reading through I did notice that the BOK could be expanded to include… technologicalproficiency. Technological proficiency goes almost without argument in this day and age. As theworld moves from paper to computers it would be in the engineering world’s best interest tohave a good handle on technology.” A similar comment from another student was, “There aremultiple skills that could be added to the list, including general computing abilities.

The following section furthers the discussion onthis introductory course and its contents.Introductory Transportation Engineering CoursesAn introductory course is often the first exposure to transportation engineering that civilengineering students receive in their undergraduate career. This course has the ability toinspire students to pursue more advanced transportation engineering courses andultimately a career within the field. In order to gain students’ attention, introductorycourses require effective strategies [23] of
