developmentprograms that are widespread and diverse, but are difficult to administer uniformly. University-level education has the potential to meet some of the needs of the demolition and reconstructioncommunity in its quest to standardize the primary criteria of professional development. Bycodifying and teaching a systematic body of theory, educators can provide the basis forprofessional certification. This body of knowledge, supplemented by ethical training throughoutthe university curriculum, has the potential to support the industry’s criteria for professionalstatus.Industry ParticipationSupport from the NDA and its membership has been instrumental in the startup of thespecialization at Purdue University.

new trendin the energy industry. Energy-using system designers are paying more attention to lifetimeenergy costs.By preparing students to work in the renewable energy field, the REET program will be poisedto be one of the forces driving this change. Educating experts and professionals who can solvethe problems of utilizing a broad range of energy resources more efficiently and more effectivelywhile being sensitive to the environmental and human costs often associated with energygeneration is a fundamental need of the market. Statistics show that there is a growing trend inthe "Renewable Energy Industry" which provides justification for the growing need for thesekinds of professionals in this global industry, where sustainability and ethics

Leadership research in academia also needs to focus on the ethical aspects andhow it affects learning. This includes the relationship between leadership and learning.There appear to be comparable characteristics of IT professionals and academic faculty. The ITprofessional has been described as high maintenance, and thus unique to lead. The older ITprofessionals are considered stagnant with little desire for new knowledge. They are alsoperceived as not desiring positions of management. 5 Similarly, academic faculty have beendescribed as “the last group of workers in the world who actually own the means of projection intheir job and have life-time job security”. 9 These practices are now being questioned ascorporate management styles are being adopted

International business relations in future years are expectedto demand greater breadth of view and background. American infra-structure is barely passingwith the most recent grade for 2009 from ASCE being a D12. My greatest fear is that politiciansare like some students who view “D” as simply not great, but still a passing grade. However,funding for infra-structure renewal is a political issue, and civil engineers must become decisionmakers, instead of just being the ‘hired help’.As such, ASCE’s expansion of the BOK to include 10 specific professional educationaloutcomes to increase background on ethics, business, global awareness, history and politics

Not only is an educational programjudged by economic viability but also an ethical responsibility to meet its educational goals.Most importantly, the undergraduate educational experience must lay a foundation for asuccessful career as well as a valued societal member. The interaction of curricula, resources,marketing, technology and other factors are also discussed.While assessment and continuous improvement are important for external accreditations andinternal reviews; it is helpful to look back and examine their long-term benefits.
