The debate has been accentuated by a comparison of these graduates tothose from baccalaureate civil engineering programs accredited by ABET’s EngineeringAccreditation Commission (EAC). This comparison has become more intense with theestablishment of the “Body of Knowledge” for civil engineering and the “Raise the Bar”initiative for professional licensure, with the associated BS + 30 requirement for licensureeligibility. ABET itself distinguishes between “technologists” who graduate from ABET/ETACaccredited baccalaureate programs and “engineers” who graduate from ABET/EAC programs.The objective of this study is to look at the preparedness and ability of graduates from one largecivil

These points are supported with anecdotal evidence gathered byprofessors with a range of clicker experience from first usage in a course to 25 years of use in avariety of classes.Much of our past work has been in the context of quantitative courses. Clicker use was recentlyexpanded to qualitative courses with very similar results. While some of the details aresomewhat different between the two types of courses, student support remained very strong.Finally, we suggest that one of the best reasons to use clickers is that they can make teaching alot more fun.
