While as many as one third of graduating civil engineersgo to work in the land development industry (University placement statistics, 2001-2005), fewcivil engineering programs in the country have any course or emphasis in land developmentwithin their curriculum. This paper describes an ongoing initiative that brings togetherundergraduate CEE students and faculty with industry professionals in an effort to improve landdevelopment design education.Prior to this initiative, the CEE Department had one course titled “Land Development Design”,taught once per year and it was available for more than 10 years. Historically, this course wasalways taught by an adjunct instructor, usually
solidifies the connection of interns to the company and greatly improves the prospects ofa job offer. Industry-defined senior design also fits very well with the goals of the ASEE TUEE(Transforming Undergraduate Education in Engineering) initiative to increase the job-readinessof engineering graduates.[3,4].While SE Design was officially under the UTDesign umbrella for some time, it retained itsindependence (e.g., in management) and separated from UTDesign several years ago. The mainfeatures that justify viewing SE Design and UTDesign as separate programs, are theirmanagement (instructor vs. professional staff) and the fee structure for participating companies(none vs. $10-15K).In this study we attempt a comparison and evaluation of the two industry

This is evident from the fact that: 1) after theirfirst experience with our program, the companies come back and propose/sponsor more projects,2) in the last decade and a half, the vast majority of capstone senior design projects are nowsponsored by local and regional industry.

engineering and construction degree programs wasundertaken by Gambatese in 2003 [8]. The survey asked about course content in three areas:OSHA standards, safety management, and safety in design; and found OSHA regulationsreceived the bulk of course time. Gambatese’s survey also highlighted differences between civilengineering and construction programs. While 90% of construction programs offered a separatesafety course, no engineering programs offered a separate course on construction safety. Hisstudy included a review of various accreditation requirements and found accreditation standardsto be influential in driving curricular content.Previous studies of university course content may be outdated due to periodic changes inaccreditation standards

In the past 2 years, acceptance ofincreases in industry sponsorship has varied greatly between programs within our school. Facultyacross all school disciplines (civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering,and computer science) were surveyed to assess perception of faculty benefits and weaknesses ofindustry sponsorships within each discipline’s capstone courses. This individual feedback wascoupled with interviews and differences in higher level program interactions with the school’sindustry relations manager. Collectively, this
