The initial edition of this body of knowledge (CE-BOK1) was published in2004 and defined the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSA) required of an individual enteringthe practice of civil engineering at the professional level. At the time, it was considered agroundbreaking document and it received considerable attention and praise.While a body of knowledge is essential to the idea of professionalism, it can quickly becomeobsolete in the face of changes in knowledge, technology and the marketplace of professions.

To help increase participation of women in engineering, we discuss ten ways academiclibraries can assist engineering departments to increase enrollment and retention of womenengineering students. These practices have been implemented during the past two years in thelibrary programs at UF. 1. Coordinate an engineering speakers series featuring women scientists and engineers; 2.

a STEM(Science Technology Engineering and Math) related field, learn and comprehend materialat universities across the country is crucial for effective teaching. Two main approachesto teaching and learning alike are the inductive and deductive approaches. The inductiveapproach begins with making observations and taking measurements for analysis andthen arriving at the laws and theories that explains why you saw what you saw. This isthe natural learning style for students. The deductive approach begins with the laws andtheories leading to applications and is the natural way for professors to teach the material.It is obvious there is a conflict of interest between professors and students, which can actas a barrier for effective learning and

: • Generate data in naturalistic settings that are chosen or intentionally designed to affirm the participants.Handling DataRelatedly, deficit views are often perpetuated when people exclusively focus on individualsrather than focusing on the ecologies in which they are embedded. For example, NAEP hasfound that African Americans performed worse than White students on measures of engineeringand technology literacy.[40] Rather than blaming individuals for this finding (e.g., by saying thatthe individual students were less motivated to study engineering) researchers can look at systemsfactors, such as the characteristics of the schools that African Americans attend, whether or notthe tasks on the engineering assessment were culturally congruent
