thestudent who achieves a bachelor degree in civil engineering will essentially only be acquiring a Page 13.1398.8‘pre-engineering’ level of knowledge. There will be greater emphasis on history, globalawareness, business and economics, environment and ethics. It just may be that the BS in civilengineering will not suffice for an entry-level position in civil design or construction firms, andthat the new-normal for entry to civil engineering practice will be the Masters Degree. How willthis new-normal level affect the civil engineering industry in the U.S.?As civil engineering education is broadened to be more of a pre-engineering course of study,then

Research Experiences for Undergraduates(REU) program [1]. The goal of this program is to support active research participation by undergraduate studentswith the long-term goal of encouraging more students to pursue advanced degrees and to increase participation ofgroups traditionally underrepresented in science and engineering. One key attribute of such a program is that theREU projects must involve students in meaningful ways – i.e. the undergraduates may not be simply lab technicians.It is viewed favorably if the REU Sites include professional development training including ethics. Also, involvingparticipants from diverse schools across the country (especially those from primarily undergraduate institutions) aswell as inclusion of an
