, and feedback from both students andfaculty reflected that this was a major limitation to the effectiveness of this initialimplementation. However, in the course that did share content (CE 562 shared with CE 461“Structural Analysis”), we collected feedback on effectiveness from CE 461 students whoengaged with the videos. Watching the videos was completely voluntary. The CE 461 instructorinformed students that the videos were available and how to access them, but did not requirestudents to watch the videos. 41% of respondents watched video(s) created by students in CE562, and of those who watched a video, 69% of them watched 2-3 different videos. The mostviewed topics were the Conjugate Beam Method (60% of viewers) and Influence Lines

of one or both of these documents.Although similar in intent and based on equivalent Bloom’s taxonomies for their construct, thereare significant differences between the two that reflect variations in knowledge base and skills,but also somewhat contrasting visions and overall work approaches by the two groups. It shouldbe stated that with the exception of the first author, there was no overlap in the composition ofthe two committees and relatively limited interaction. The purpose here is to provide a briefoverview of the outcomes for each body of knowledge and to compare and contrast how bothefforts have progressed with recommendations provided for a unified process when it comestime to update the two bodies again. This information may be of

the participants' workshop experience--a testament to the effort put forth bythe workshop coordinators and staff. ASCE will offer three ETWs in 2018, reflecting thecontinued strong demand for the program as its 20th anniversary approaches. The third workshopis made possible through generous funding from the Durham School at the University ofNebraska, Omaha where the third workshop will be hosted. The ExCEEd demand as defined bynumber of applications received is shown in Figure 2 as well as in Table 1.In total, 267 different institutions have sent faculty members to ETW. The eleven universitieswith the most ETW graduates are listed in Table 2. Given these institutions’ high level ofparticipation in Project ExCEEd, it is evident that ETW
