affected by this as many states will certainly adopt the model law into their own professional licensure requirements. Up to this point, AE programs have provided little input or participation in this effort.• The civil engineers have published a body of knowledge (BOK)21 that lists the skills and attitudes that civil engineers are expected to attain. These include additional skills beyond those required by ABET, such as leadership, project management, business policy and ethics. The new ABET civil engineering program criteria22 have been approved by the Engineering Accreditation Commission and will probably go into effect after the one year review period. The AE program criteria will likely be affected by these

Teaching and learning good design skillsare important aspects of engineering education in colleges and universities [19, 20].

Each change presentedadvantages as well as minor disadvantages that will be discussed in more detail. However,combination of the four changes made in 2007 produced a much different result in the finalcourse grades. Compared to the previous ten years, as depicted in Table 1, the final coursegrades in 2007 featured a course GPA much closer to the mean GPA of the students entering thecourse. While it was not the goal of the course directors to arbitrarily reduce the students’grades, the changes introduced appear to have tempered the impact that the natural bias

suggested a more formal process of recording reviews andreminding them exactly what the review should accomplish. Taking these comments intoaccount a new policy was written (see Appendix A).The need to educate the students in the methodology was also noted. It was naïve for the authorto believe that the students would know what to do automatically without significant instructionand coaching. The students had not encountered this in previous engineering classes, and theauthor and the other course instructor took care to prepare the students. Combined with adiscussion of professional responsibility and ethics in the second lesson, the idea of peer reviewwas explained and the policy was introduced and its implementation discussed; this took abouttwo

first-yearengineering course calls for students to develop a logical problem solving process whichincludes sequential structures, conditional structures, and repetition structures for fundamentalengineering problems; translate a written problem statement into a mathematical model; solvefundamental engineering problems using computer tools; and work effectively and ethically as amember of a technical team. One approach to having first-year students solve open-endedproblems is through team-oriented tasks called Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs). These tasksare based upon the models and modeling perspective put forth by Lesh and Doerr7 and aredeveloped using six design principles8-9.

across settings 9. In engineering education, such authenticcontexts have been developed through “problem based” and “project based” activities 10. Amongthe advantages of such approaches are that students have greater opportunity to be mentored andpractice aspects of engineering for development that are often missed in the “core curriculum” oftraditional engineering education. Specifically, through “project based” engineering education,students work to: - formulate and solve ill-defined problems under complex conditions; - understand professional and ethical responsibilities associated with these complex conditions; - communicate with other engineers and with non-engineering professionals and the general public; and
