Rose, Ph.D., P.E. is Associate Professor and Department Head of Civil Engineering Technology at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. His teaching interests are in the areas of geotechnical and structural engineering.

Dr. Rose received B.S. and M.S. degrees in Civil Engineering from the University
graduate (or advanced undergraduate) classes. Therefore, thesecourses in civil infrastructure systems have evolved in parallel with research in the area. One ofthe basic premises of our civil infrastructure research is that many of the same principles apply tobridges, railroad track, pavement, roofs, buildings, and other types of infrastructure. This hasproved to be an excellent foundation for the course in civil infrastructure systems. Topics, tools,and techniques are not characterized by the application area but by the process.A Retrospective Look at Civil Systems EducationCivil systems education has its roots in urban engineering and pavement management courses.In the preface to his book Infrastructure Engineering and Management, Neil Grigg

This goal comes as a result of alarming factsabout STEM education in the U.S. Some of the troubling facts include: • By 2010, if current trends continue, more than 90 percent of scientists and engineers in the world will live in Asia. • More than 50 percent of engineering doctoral degrees awarded by U.S. colleges are to foreign nationals. • The number of B.S. engineering degrees awarded in the U.S. is down by 20 percent from the peak year of 1985. • China graduates four times as many engineers as the United States. • Security concerns in the U.S. are limiting the world talent pool available to work in this country. • Since 1970, the U.S. investment in basic research in the physical sciences has

inclusive andinnovative curriculum with the dominant credentialing systems on which many other systems arebuilt [6]. Essentially, fixing credentialing means better inclusion and broadened participation.Communities of practice (COPs) have been leveraged to support change in teaching practice andpull researchers together on a variety of tasks in a range of domains. They have the potential tosupport large-scale change in engineering education and multiple levels. Although COPs havebecome familiar to many faculty, maintaining a community of practice happens best when thereis a supporting culture and people who connect as community members. To meet the challengeof fixing credentialing in a supportive environment, we begin by adapting Wenger and

also explains how to avoid making those mistakes. Having the videoson the BlackBoard site makes the videos part of the course. It has yet to be seen what effectthese videos will have, but if nothing else their presence in the BlackBoard page will reiterate theimportance of avoiding plagiarism. Arthur Sterngold has suggested several strategies in changing research paper assignmentsthat can reduce plagiarism and add to the student’s educational experience at the same time.These include: • Break up major research papers into smaller assignments, • Choose some required source material for your students, • Incorporate assignments into class discussions, • Meet with students to discuss their

What is at stake is the repositioning ofuniversities as institutes of research and education within knowledge societies, andthere are increased expectations of universities to be central players with regard toknowledge production4. This generates tensions between researchers, lecturers andstudents on the one hand, and on the other, the interests of the university to fulfil itspolicy goals. In other words there is a tension between individual freedom to makedecisions and
