classes. A major finding of the project has been thatpractitioners and students exhibit a fundamentally different view of writing: practitioners seewriting as integrated with engineering content and practice, whereas students view writing asseparate from engineering. In this paper, we present three cases studies that illustrate theempirical analyses that have led to this finding, focusing on organization, sentence structure, andgrammatical errors. We then offer five specific suggestions for approaching writing in civilengineering classes so that students will be better prepared for writing in the workplace,discussing how these ideas have been implemented at the university where the project is based.IntroductionIn discussions of how to prepare

Most statesrequire at least four years of experiences after completion of an EAC-ABET accreditedengineering degree. However, the education requirement is far from uniform. Many state lawsinclude pathways to licensure for applicants with a non-accredited engineering degree, anengineering technology degree, a non-engineering bachelor’s degree, and no postsecondarydegree. In the following study, state engineering laws and rules were reviewed to determine theeducation, experience, and examination pathways to professional engineering licensure.

and reinforce that. Most professions have not developed a body of knowledge that specifies what an engineer should be able to do and at which level (baccalaureate, masters or equivalent, or experience) those skills should be attained. Because the civil engineering profession has developed an explicit body of knowledge, it is reasonable that the accreditation criteria should reflect and enforce those standards. Other engineering professions, while entirely reputable and respected, have not taken this initiative. • The new Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Examination contains questions in Hydraulics and Hydrologic Systems, Structural Analysis, Structural Design, Geotechnical Engineering

a broader sense, we demonstrate that ABET accreditation does have a critical supporting rolein raising the educational bar for engineering; however, this contribution is necessary but notsufficient to achieve the desired end.Why ABET is NecessaryIn promulgating its Raise the Bar initiative, ASCE’s overarching goal is to ensure that aspiringprofessional engineers attain the civil engineering BOK as a prerequisite for licensure. ABET’stwo fundamental functions contribute substantially to the achievement of this goal:  Based on input from its constituencies, the EAC of ABET establishes standards for engineering degree programs at both the baccalaureate and master’s levels. These standards are organized into three different sets

becauseit is fundamentally different. In a recent article on the topic of undergraduate engineer writing,Schnieter commented on these differences, stating: “English composition allows readers toprovide their own interpretations of what the reader intended. Technical writing, on the otherhand, demands that the reader come only the conclusion intended by the writer”3. Developingstrong technical writing skills requires practice and this practice must come in the context of theengineering discipline.In CE300, Fundamentals of Engineering Mechanics and Design, students are required tocomplete a uniaxial tension test of three different materials, draw conclusions about thematerials, and write a comprehensive report including procedures, data, and findings
