Knowledge represents the lowest level of learning outcomes in the cognitive domain.Defining the characteristics of the future engineer is hardly unique to civil engineering. Forexample, in a separate and independent effort, the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) wasalso studying the future education of engineers. The NAE’s Committee on Engineering Page 12.258.4Education undertook and completed a two-part project resulting in two seminal reports6,7: “TheEngineer of 2020 – Visions of Engineering in the New Century” and “Educating the Engineer of2020 – Adapting

developers used “carefulmaterial selection, . . . , a balance of theory and practical application, enthusiastic instruction, andcontinuous student feedback” to design and subsequently teach fundamentals of engineeringmechanics and design to non-engineering students1.After successful implementation teaching non-engineers, it became apparent that the integrationof statics and mechanics of materials into a single course could have tremendous benefits forstudents majoring in engineering disciplines. With this in mind, the traditional first-course forcivil and mechanical engineering majors, CE302 – Statics and Dynamics, was replaced withCE300 and a separate dynamics course developed, enabling students to gain a deeper and morerigorous understanding of

engineering project for an external client. Around week 4, the teams are askedto hold a second meeting with their client to discuss design options. During this meeting, it is notuncommon to have the client change their mind about their needs, to prefer a design the studentshave not favored, or to request additional work. It is also not unusual for the students toencounter challenges with the expectations of the instructor versus the mentor versus the client.The features of the Win/Win habit are crucial to managing these kinds of conflicts. Students donot have a report assignment that exercises this habit, but the lesson is learned by most groupsthrough their interaction with their client, the instructor, and their faculty mentor.Habit 5- Seek first
