student interests and outcomes are becoming clearer, the motivations, benefits, and challengesfor faculty are only conversationally explored. An assessment of faculty involved in programs similarto those in D80 is underway.• By 2010 we plan to reach 50% across-the-board participation rate for all students in environmentalengineering. Based on current numbers, this has already been attained at the graduate level, and wouldrequire nearly 50% growth from current undergraduate levels (32% participation). This should happeneasily through the new Certificate program, which is demonstrating early widespread interest amongstudents. Outside of environmental engineering, D80 is aiming for 10% student participation rate bygraduation in all other majors

The assessment of thefirst two years of the Global Projects in Engineering and Technology class has greatly assisted inselecting projects for the current class. Based on the assessment, the following guidelines havebeen established for selecting future projects such that projects: ≠ are properly identified during an assessment trip with the local people ≠ focus on a product, not a process ≠ focus on a true need, not a perceived need—the project should be something the local

engineering students should possess to successfully enter the labormarket. In the systematic review of Passow and Passow [4], planning and time management,problem-solving, communication and teamwork were identified as highly important byengineers. Identified as less, but still important, were ethics, lifelong learning, taking initiative,thinking creatively, and focusing on goals. Does this mean that engineering students needmore teamwork skills than lifelong learning skills? Or do students need to finish theireducational program with an advanced level mastery of lifelong learning and an expert levelmastery of teamwork? These questions raise the need to not just investigate the importanceof the competencies but also of the competency levels required

Its growth as a field of study and as astandard of practice is understandable in light of concerns about dwindling resources, populationand developmental growth, and environmental sensitivity based on global warming and othernatural phenomena. Engineering in general, and civil and construction engineering in particular,is a field uniquely well-equipped to tackle the issues of incorporating sustainability into projectexecution.

Academic mobility provides students with the freedom to plan independently aneducational trajectory that takes into account the contemporary professional demands that areplaced upon an engineer.
