To address these needs, the CCE Departmentdeveloped initiatives in the fall of 1997 to evaluate the civil engineering curriculum and determinechanges needed to accomplish the following objectives: • Meet new university, college and department vision and mission statements. • Meet changing external CE industry needs. • Meet/Exceed ABET EC 2000 accreditation criteria. • Develop an integrated learning based curriculum.As a first step in this process, a task force was appointed and charged with designing a civilengineering curriculum that met all of the objectives.Planning for the Revised Curriculum:Since many others in academia have heard similar cries from

Several problems are associated with the freestanding course. Unless the requiredcourse is supplemented by further ethics instruction in mainstream engineering courses, studentsmay be left with the impression that ethics is a sidebar rather than an integral part of theirengineering studies. 7,8 In a single course there is rarely enough time for students to practiceapplying the ethical principles throughout a variety of situations.The second method integrates ethics instruction into the engineering courses.

However, ethics in the engineering curriculum has been reported to have mixedeffectiveness, especially when delivered as an isolated topic within courses such as a capstone orpurely through case studies. Instead, an effective supplemental framework for integrating ethicsthrough the curriculum is needed in order for practicing engineers to make decisions with theintegrity appropriate to the profession. Toward this goal, an initial implementation was made in asenior level design class where ethics questions were interspersed throughout the semester onday to day ethical issues that related directly to the course material.

The technology beingnew, students are often misled by an incomplete understanding of the subject--understandingBIM as an acronym for 3D design, rather than appreciating BIM as a process of sharing andsimulating information. Teaching BIM as a process versus a single software package is acommon issue that may be effectively addressed through a stepped progression of smallerpackets of information spread in different courses throughout the curriculum, so called ‘verticalintegration.’ Vertical integration of curriculum supports a comprehensive understanding of asubject and the means and methods that form its core. Further, vertical integration of curriculumhelps students retain knowledge from year to year as repeated exposure to a subject

Recentdevelopment to introduce “writing across the curriculum” pedagogy is an excellent example of adesired skill or capability that can be integrated at a number of different points within theprogram. An “Academic Thread” is suggested as a paradigm for formalizing the integration of atopic across a number of different courses within the curriculum. While the desire forcurriculum integration and the idea of integrating a topic across multiple courses is not new,Academic Threads and the ABET emphasis on program and course learning objectives areproposed as avenues to formalize and better focus these

Many universities also “bookend” thecurriculum by addressing ethics in a first-year introductory course and a capstone course takenright before graduation7,9. However, the general consensus is that the most effective method forteaching ethics is integration of ethics throughout the curriculum, which compels students torecognize that ethics is an integral part of their engineering education3,9,10,11. The importance ofethics is highlighted when students receive ethics instruction from several engineeringprofessors, and professors coordinate their efforts11. If ethics is taught as a part of technicalengineering classes, students can also see the
