Third,the students’ knowledge on basic structural analysis and plan reading was measured at thebeginning and end of each course. What level of knowledge did they have when entering therespective course? Were students’ perceptions of their knowledge gains during the coursessupported by assessed knowledge gains? Student design project grades and pre- and post-surveys were used to answer the researchquestions. Students completing the project for the first time in steel design had slightly highergrades than those completing the project the first time in reinforced concrete design

The commoncourse project platform was introduced in the freshman surveying course, where studentscollected geographical data. This project platform was revisited throughout the freshman yearthrough the development of site plans and topographic maps of the project site in graphicalcommunications and geographical information systems courses. This method provides afoundational context for a civil engineering site development that will be used in future coursesfor designing a multi-story building in a structural design course, analyzing soil samples forfoundation design in a soil mechanics course, and developing a stormwater management plan ina water resources

Spatial skills are linkedto professional and academic success [3], [4]. For example, when designing or constructing apumping station or piping systems within a treatment plant, it is always challenging to develop athree-dimensional mental picture of the space when looking at plan view and section views of aspace. Those who are skilled in developing that clear mental picture make fewer mistakes andare more efficient designers or constructors. Spatial training has been shown to have a strongimpact on developing these visual-spatial skills as measured by success on standardized

For example, one of the prime lessons fromHurricane Sandy in 2012 was that we should design resilient infrastructure systems to ensure theadaptability for the future [4]. Currently, the importance of risk and resilience of engineeringsystems is increasingly appreciated in professional practice and research, yet these conceptscontinue to be absent from most traditional engineering curricula.

student was required to evaluate the proposed design and plan to meet at least one of theUN Sustainable Development Goals. This resulted in each design team working to address atleast one of these goals. These goals will be incorporated into the proposed design which willalso consider the Envision rating system. Students expanded their focus beyond the design toconsider the overall plan, construction, maintenance and life cycle of the project. Theincorporation of both criteria helped to guide student decisions, evaluate the environmentalimpact of their designs and address the benefits the proposed design had on their respectivecommunities.

In response to the newest body of knowledge, the RTBCommittee is preparing an action plan to do just that.This paper summarizes the changes made to the CE-BOK between the 2nd and 3rd editions andexplains how the CE-BOK is and always has been the foundation of ASCE’s RTB effort. It willexplore how ASCE has historically used the CE-BOK as a catalyst to influence change in theprofessional preparation of civil engineers, and how it may be used in the future. Potentialhurdles to implementation will be shared, particularly considering significant changes that havebeen made. For example, CE-BOK3 has added an affective domain to some of its traditionalcognitive outcomes, which no doubt will present a challenge for implementation

value beliefs better predict plans to continue into an engineering career. Afterthe first year of engineering school, both expectancy and value beliefs decreased. The decreasein expectancy belief was expected since during the first year of college, students are transitioningfrom high school to harder college-level courses. The decrease in value belief was not easy toexplain. The paper notes (bold added): “What is more difficult to explain, however, is the finding that at the end of the year, students reported enjoying engineering less and viewed it as less important and useful than they did at the beginning of the year. One explanation may be that freshmen are idealistic at the beginning of their college careers and that

In thesubsequent years, ASCE developed a plan for the long-term management of CEBOK on aneight-year cycle which led to the formation of the CEBOK3TC which began work in October2016. This paper concludes with a discussion on the update from CEBOK2 to CEBOK3.Why is this historical review and summary important to the civil engineering profession? Tomaintain the momentum of the educational and professional reform activities initiated by ASCEin the mid-1990’s (called the Raise the Bar Initiative), the successful processes of the past andthe associated “lessons learned” must be clearly communicated to future leaders and

The tower was constructed perthe 2018 Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) Seismic Design Competition rulesand guidelines defining the design details and the two ground motions applied. As the studentsdid not plan to enter into the EERI SDC, they designed beyond the guideline restrictions to testthe use of seismic isolators. The tower was experimentally tested using the Shake Table II byQuanser available at SFSU with and without isolators.

availability of time which led to the creation of Project Days, in whichthe students would work on their project individually with the instructor present so that promptfeedback could be given on their designs. The extensive planning necessary to flip a classroommeans that a detailed schedule of topics is typically available to the students at the outset of thecourse. That detailed schedule proves invaluable when students plan how to best work on theproject. One drawback of problem-based learning is that students report spending more timeworking on the course [19] which increases the time requirements on an already crowded studentschedule. However, this is offset by the use of the flipped format as students spend approximately20 % less time outside of

By applying teamwork and leadership skills in thesolution of civil engineering problems, civil engineers must then establish goals, plan tasks, andmeet objectives, thereby achieving the ABET General Criterion 3(5). The greatest gap, althoughstill considered minor, exists between the CEBOK3 and the CEPC. The CEPC only requirescivil engineers to explain the basic concepts of leadership, which is cognitively below the abilityto apply leadership, and does not include diversity and inclusion. The CEBOK3 also includesthe affective domain, which requires the civil engineer to demonstrate the skills to internalize orvalue the human experience.
