Nine of 24 outcomes are focused onprofessional skills, describe student skills needed to meet career challenges, and include targetlevels of cognitive development required to prepare students for professional practice.Based on this vision for future engineers set forth in ASCE BOK 2, faculty in The CitadelDepartment of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) adopted 22 student outcomes, eightof which are directly focused on developing student professional skills and competencies. Theseoutcomes are mapped across a subset of the 34 courses offered in the civil engineeringcurriculum. Embedded indicators are used to measure student attainment of the material andresults are compared to established Department
graduates. Only 20 percent of these academic chairs consideredtheir students’ skills to be weak. Yet Donnell et al., reported to the American Society forEngineering Education: “Unexpectedly, a parallel survey of industry representatives found almost opposite results, with only 9 percent considering communication, ethics and leadership skills of recent mechanical engineering graduates to be strong and 52 percent of those same students to be weak. Given these results were gathered from 68 mechanical engineering department heads and more than 1000 engineers and managers [currently working in industry] , a disparity clearly exists between the communication, ethics and leadership skills we are teaching to

” section. These sections were chosen because they appeared to consistently provide evidenceof what material the professor intended to cover. A set of key words associated with each engineeringleadership criterion was established in advance of the screening process. These key words, combinedwith the criteria titles themselves, as shown in Table III, comprise the filtering mechanism with whichengineering leadership content was identified in syllabi. Different versions/tenses of the key words werealso counted (e.g. “Ethics” and “Ethical” would both pertain to Criterion 4). The establishment of thesespecific key word filters was intended to minimize subjectivity among independent reviewers.Table III - Key Words Associated with CriteriaEngineering
