This came in response to the question “which of thefollowing alternative energy sources…hold[s] the most promise in easing US dependence onfossil fuels over the next ten years?”6 Within the responses, hydropower also received negligibleresults. A couple of important differences to note were that nuclear energy was not listed as itsown

other twotypes be brought up only when they are directly relevant to the core type. In a design course,procedure is the primary organizing content, thus the course should centre on a procedural task,i.e., developing a prototype from concept generation to analysis, to synthesis, to fabrication,integration, and testing. During this procedure, relevant concepts and theories should bepresented directly related to what the procedure requires. For example, the Reverse EngineeringAssignment, which will be discussed in the next section, is of conceptual type, but choosing thesubject related to the design project ensures the relevance of the developed concept(s) to theprimary procedural content. The same strategy can be applied to the design and

Consider the following quote from page55, “He [reverse engineer] also noted that the letters were so precise they must have beenengraved not by a labourer but by a highly trained craftsman.” Key to the design recoveryprocess was the incorporation of historical and cultural information from that time period.Consider this quote from page 61, “archeologists also studied the rest of the salvaged cargo.Their discoveries help to paint a vivid picture of when the ship sailed, where her load was beingtaken and the sort of world from which she came.

As cited later, there have been concerns expressed that graduate programshave become less focused on preparing civil engineers for the professional practice ofcivil engineering and more focused on engineering research. An added concern in thisperceived trend has been that the future educators of civil engineers who graduate withPh.D.’s may be less prepared to foster the best possible learning in practical civilengineering design. These concerns may or may not be justified, but the current dialoguecertainly provides an opportunity for civil engineering departments to reexamine theirgraduate programs to identify whether they are doing to their best to prepare theirgraduates.
