courses in the US are taught by adjunct faculty or teachingassistants who are likely to be missing two or more of the four characteristics of the idealfaculty. By the same token many full time faculty have little practical experience and are illequipped to teach some of the new skills in the BOK, such as contracts, ethics, andglobalization of the engineering profession. As a result mechanisms must be put in place toassist the faculty of tomorrow to become proficient in all of the described characteristics. Thefollowing paragraphs discuss ways in which all four areas can be melded together to produce abalanced faculty member.ScholarshipMany institutions have narrowly defined scholarship as the conduct of basic technical research.More specifically

The limited electives offered to students are usually extensions of therequired courses. As a result, undergraduates tend to get a focused civil engineering educationwithout being introduced to material on construction. Furthermore, most existing curricula donot introduce students to nontraditional topics that are important to construction – such asmultidisciplinary collaborative team assignments, technical communications, leadership, andprofessional ethics – and seem to lack continuity in the material taught thus offering education infragmented

Doesyour company have the skills and resources necessary to complete the task at hand?One of the best ways to show this is to present evidence of your successful completionof other, similar projects. Traditionally, persuasive language seeks to activate three responses in a reader: 1.
