The Process of Teaching Ideally, conveying the instructor’s interest in the material to be learned to students is the beststimulus to learning rather than such external goals as grades or later competitive advantages. The firstobject of any act of learning [2] over and beyond the pleasure it may give, is that it should servestudents in the future. Theodore R.

These educational resources enable engineeringstudents to purposefully design safety into a technology.IntroductionBiomedical engineers have clear obligations to design and implement technologies and practicesthat ensure the safety of people involved.

This initial version ofthe policy stated that the Society “supports the concept of the master’s degree as the FirstProfessional Degree for the practice of civil engineering at the professional level.”1 Chargedwith implementing Policy Statement 465, the ASCE Committee on Academic Prerequisites forProfessional Practice (CAP3) began by analyzing the three fundamental characteristics of aprofession—an ethic of service, a professional organization, and a specialized body ofknowledge.2 The committee’s analysis of the civil engineering profession suggested that onlythe first two of these three characteristics had been adequately defined. Thus began a broad-based effort to define the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge.In January 2004 this
