the curriculum and course suggestions, respondents suggested adding courses typicallyfound in industrial engineering and management curriculums. They suggested more coursesrelated to lean manufacturing, logistics and material handling, project management and financialanalysis, leadership and management, and communications. With regards to the balance ofengineering and management courses, five felt that it was adequate, one wanted moremanagement courses, and one wanted more engineering courses.The conclusion that might be drawn from the survey is that our local employers have a cleardistinction in their minds between engineering students and management (business) students.This clear distinction might make it difficult for engineering
treatability studies and applied experimental workthat directly supports local water and wastewater utilities. In order to grow the program andincorporate more students, assistance is required to mentor these students and to help managetheir projects. Clearly, a Ph.D. student that is interested in this type of position at anundergraduate engineering college would be a great candidate.With this idea in mind, the author recently worked with Virginia Tech to develop a collaborativeprogram whereby alumni from VMI will attend graduate school at Virginia Tech, but conducttheir research projects with author, supervised and externally-funded by the author. One criticalrole of these graduate students will be to mentor current our current undergraduate students

These efforts have opened up awide range of studies that have pinpointed the need to address communication issues outside ofthe English classroom.Instead of simply complaining about the lack of communication skill demonstrated by engineers,it is important that interested parties in engineering departments investigate the actualdeficiencies and concerns of those affected.

DesignAbstractConcrete is the most widely used building material in the world because of the simplicity of itsmanufacture, the abundance of raw materials, and the economical method of construction itprovides. Invariably, all civil engineering programs in the United States offer courses in themanufacture of the material and the design and construction of reinforced concrete structures.However, students are rarely introduced to sustainability principles and practices that produce“green” reinforced concrete structures, in that raw materials are used efficiently, byproducts areutilized, carbon footprint is reduced, and the resulting structure is energy efficient and durable.Knowledge of sustainability principles will make future structural engineers mindful of
evaluate student cognitive gains in the course. Results of the concept map assessment showthat the course is helping students to think more holistically about non-technical and societal as-pects of engineering; however, students showed minimal gains in identifying various types ofinfrastructure in the built environment.BackgroundThe infrastructure of the United States is exceeding its design capacity, requiring extensivemaintenance and renovation. In order to meet this challenge, a need exists to produce civil andenvironmental engineers who have a broad understanding of the pressing needs of the infrastruc-ture of the United States and who can solve problems from a systems perspective. With thisneed in mind, the faculty of the Civil and
