In two semesters of our trial study, we found that 100% of our students purchased thetextbook. In conclusion, we feel that self-publishing high quality textbooks have the potential tochange education for the better and we plan to continue using them in our classrooms in thesemesters ahead. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2015

A sophomore-level seminar in The Art and Scienceof Flow Visualization exposes students to these techniques and the science of fluid mechanics,and to the photographic methods needed to create effective images that are successful bothscientifically and artistically. Unlike other courses in flow visualization, this course assumes noa priori familiarity with fluid flow or with photography. The fundamentals of both are taughtand practiced in a studio setting. Students are engaged in an interdisciplinary discourse aboutfluids and physics, photography, scientific ethics, and historical societal responses to science andart. The

An essential component of those projects is theuse of process simulation software (mainly Aspen), with additional support from some othermathematical software (EXCEL, MATLAB) [1]. The use of textbooks is very diverse, but someare very popular like Turton et al. [2]. The dominant technical content of the course (processdesign, simulation, economics, heuristics, synthesis, plant design, energy integration,optimization) has been increasingly enriched with professional skills (i.e., teamwork, projectmanagement, organizational skills, conflict resolution), ethics, and a broad

October 1998. 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

In the second phase of this project, a more extensive web-based survey instrumentwas then developed building on these results and extending the inquiry to a more nationaldemographic. This work also yielded encouraging results in terms of further quantifying (1)individual benefits for volunteer participants and (2) identifying areas for academic programs

the engineer as an appliedscientist/mathematician working outside of society is outdated.Over the last several decades engineering leaders have emphasized the role of the engineer insociety through documents such as the National Academy of Engineering’s Engineer of 20201,the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Body of Knowledge2, and ABET’s EngineeringChange report on the effects of the EC2000 accreditation criteria3. Further, increasing concernsabout sustainability, as evidenced by these documents as well as recent changes to engineeringcodes of ethics, require engineers to understand themselves and their work as existing within thesocial, environmental, and economic context of the present and the future.However, as we hear these calls for

Over time, the expert-novice gap closed intwo areas: the design process and motivation for the design. Students made consistentlyfewer references to ethics and marketing than did experts, but did not differ from expertsin the areas of interpersonal skills and technical skills. In addition to their implications fordesign educators, these findings offer an important avenue for understanding the natureof expertise.
