spatial perception andvisualization is warranted in a university’s CEM education.  Spatial Skills in Construction Spatial ability is a unique type of intelligence which can be best defined as “the ability to presentthe spatial world internally in your mind”.9 In other words, spatial ability is the capacity tomentally organize, understand, and visualize spatial relations among objects. Linn andPeterson10 describe that spatial ability consists of mental rotation, spatial perception, and spatialvisualization. This ability is known as a critical skill in many fields of study, including science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.11 Spatial ability becomesincreasingly important with the advance of new computer graphics technology

According to her, computational thinking draws onengineering thinking to solve problems and design systems that interact with humans and the realworld. Interacting with the real world requires thinking about design criteria and constraints –such as safety and efficacy. Like engineers, computational thinkers involve in a process ofproblem-solving (Computer Science Teacher Association & International Society forTechnology in Education, 2011).Promoting problem solving and designing skills is a core focus of both undergraduateengineering education and pre-college engineering education.

Many expressed opinionsconsistent with the comment of a state official: “It is probably too much to expect universities tograduate trained dam safety intern engineers. The area is too specialized and too small. Indeed,it would probably be a poor service to graduates to allow them to specialize so precisely.ASDSO’s continuing education opportunities are important tools for turning well qualified civilengineers into dam safety engineers.”While this pragmatic viewpoint appeared to be fairly common among respondents, respondentsalso expressed frustration with
