engineers understand andaccount for a myriad of evolving social issues (including climate change, sustainability,resiliency, and social equity), along with advances in technology that change our understandingof the problems we face, as well as the tools we use to solve them. It is not adequate for civilengineers to simply find workable engineering solutions. Society expects civil engineers todevelop the best solutions, to protect and advance public health, safety, and welfare – theirprofessional duty.Civil engineers must have a much broader and deeper understanding of these factors than everbefore, while the pace of change continues to accelerate. Undergraduate civil engineeringprograms are challenged to fit in all that is required in a four-year
