It is one of the most commonareas used to fulfill ABET civil engineering program accreditation criteria. Typically, studentswould take a course in steel or reinforced concrete design or a combination of both after astructural analysis course to meet this proficiency requirement. A 8-ft, 2500-lb steel connectionsculpture was designed and sponsored by AISC and its members to help students understandconnection design. While this has many practical benefits

Re-imagining engineering andengineering education requires carefully considering the entire spectrum of education andpractice, from pre-school programs to higher education and beyond to include the study of thepractice of engineering. Studying the practice of engineering is insightful when one understandsthat research in engineering education should tackle the big question of how engineering is bestlearned

When given a real-life project,students have challenges of linking it with what they have learned from different courses inprevious years. “It seems that all the course projects we completed previously in individualcourse have nothing to do with the senior design” said one student.One of the student outcomes evaluated by ABET for engineering programs accreditation is “anability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs…”1.
