be a basic requirement for scientific engineeringwork to be able to operate innovatively and efficiently. This is (with a look to the Europeanand in special case the German Situation) the only explanation as to why the EHEA(European Higher Education Area) has declared the fostering of these actions as the essenceof BA Courses of study (Cf. in addition the EU’s demand voiced in the program “New skillsfor new jobs”, which perceives the fostering of the previously presented skills as a keycharacteristic of BA-Courses of study [1]).So it is useful to understand, that BA-Courses have two functions (or that it is a duality).

the needs of employers and the profession. Developments from the 1996 review ofengineering education 1 changed the accreditation process from an input (content-based) approachto program development to an outcomes-based approach. This change allowed and encouraged adiversity of approaches to education, while attempting to ensure the same quality of outcome.Since that time, engineering programs throughout Australia have been attempting to implementthe new requirements, which have required the use of constructive alignment of learningoutcomes, learning and teaching activities and assessment. The recent ALTC-supported project“Engineers for the Future” 2 supported this requirement.Although some institutions have implemented the changed curriculum

Definitions of culture range from those that are verydetailed and specific to those that are more general and all encompassing. Hofstede’s fivedimensions of culture is one such definition that is quite specific10: 1. Power/Distance: how inequalities in prestige, wealth and power are handled, within the family, education, work, politics, religion and ideas; 2. Uncertainty Avoidance: how uncertainty about the future is handled, with artifacts addressing the uncertainties of nature; laws (rules), the behaviour of others; and religion, what we do not know; 3.

Their power systems engineers said such a system would require a 1 hp pump, that withsolar cells would account for 80% of the system cost. The irrigation engineers identified that90% of the pressure drop in the system occurs over the drip emitters. And the productionengineers noted that low-density polyethylene is the cheapest material they work with, and thatother materials, such as silicone, significantly drive up the cost of the drippers. It took thiscompany-wide engagement to realize that the largest opportunity to reduce system cost was byreducing pressure in the system, to reduce pumping power

A quarter of the students who responded indicated they did not watch any of the recorded videos at all, leading to an average of only 2.74 videos (out of the thirty available videos) watched by each student. One reason for their failure to do so could be that the instructor stopped sending out weekly reminders that the videos were available for them to watch after the third week of instruction. For those who did watch, about 55% of the students watched the lecture videos in their entirety, while the rest watched only part(s) of the videos. None

. Thethree major reasons for not seeking dual-level accreditation were 1. not necessary, nomotivation/advantage to becoming accredited; 2. increased workload, with no benefit; and 3.limits flexibility/accreditation process is too rigid and will stifle the innovation that is thehallmark of graduate-level education. These reasons were consistent across the survey andinterviews. Many of the department chairs expressed frustration with the accreditation processfor their bachelor’s degrees and are unlikely to take on the additional burden of accrediting theirmaster’s degrees without a clear benefit.IntroductionPolicy Statement 465, which was unanimously adopted by the Board of Direction of theAmerican Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in 2001, describes
