, organizationalstructures, technology and lifestyles are introducing a significant rethinking of the role of thecivil engineer. The role they perform has broadened significantly in scope and engineeringeducation must change in response.The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), with Engineering Criteria2000 (EC 2000), requires programs to show evidence graduates are prepared for the job marketin the 21rst Century. Engineering programs now must demonstrate that their graduates have anunderstanding of professional practice issues in addition to proficiency in specific subject areasthat are tabulated in the civil engineering program criteria (Koehn 2000).The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Program Criteria notes that graduates

Curriculum integrationat UA necessitated cohort scheduling because the content of the new integrated FC math, scienceand engineering courses, although equivalent to the traditional curriculum as a whole, weredifferent individually than their traditional counterparts. Thus, students were required to takeeither all of the FC courses or none of them. Active learning was usually implemented in the classrooms by means of team exercises.Students were assigned to the same four-person teams for all of the four courses (chemistry,mathematics, physics and engineering). Team homework assignments and projects were alsofrequently assigned. Although teamwork was not one of the primary four thrusts of the FC

developed course selections which acknowledge the reality of diversity inour “western” culture. Engineering curriculum further must address the current ABETphilosophy which requires that students be knowledgeable in humanities and contemporarycultural issues so that they can recognize the impact of technology on society (both on the“local” level and the global level). The liberal arts courses play a significant role in thisobjective.Reported investigations in this area are limited. In one study, two thirds of the surveyed students(wide range of majors not including engineering) anticipated continued interest in the humanitiesfollowing graduation; one third of the students predicted that the humanities would have nosignificant presence in their post

Of those awarded, 5 states received two awards. TheUniversity of Oklahoma is the only institution to have received two awards – the AuthenticTeaching Alliance (ATA) and Adventure Engineering (AE). The long term goals of the initiativeare to increase the number of secondary math and science teachers, increase the number ofsecondary students choosing careers in science engineering and technology, and increase thepublic’s science and math knowledge.A potential shortage of qualified K-12 teachers is a looming educational crisis.

compared to the aluminum bar3. Lab Development We discuss here some of the student perceptions of this design module and how the needto address those perceptions has guided its development. One of the misperceptions manystudents had in the first version of the module was that it was relevant only to electricalengineering because of the use of circuits and a microcontroller in the control system. Toaddress this misperception, we begin by having students research sensor technologies used bypractitioners in their anticipated field of engineering (mechanical, civil, chemical, electrical,etc.). Students see that the principles of sensors and data collection apply to all fields ofengineering. We
