Furthermore, exposure to real-world challenges, especially when presented in anactive and practical learning environment increases both student interest and pedagogicaleffectiveness. The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in its report, “Educating theEngineer of 2020,” contends that solving the Grand Challenges will require more than justproviding students with technical training. It argues that an engineering education must producegraduates who combine technical excellence with a multitude of other skills includingcommunication, teaming, ethical reasoning, and contextual analysis.

and rulesProfessional engineering societies encourage professional licensure. They do this through policystatements and advocacy work. Two groups that are particularly relevant to civil engineers arethe American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the National Society of ProfessionalEngineers (NSPE). Both groups have a code of ethics. A review of these codes reveals thatASCE and NSPE members are not ethically bound to be licensed; in fact neither code of ethicsdirectly mentions licensure [7], [8]. However, a review of policy statements from both groupsprovides more depth regarding professional engineering licensure in general and specifically forfaculty.ASCE Policy Statement 130 states that ASCE “supports and promotes the professional
