We need torecognize, and help our students to recognize, that operator culpability is often used as an excuseto direct blame away from the designers and economic sponsors of the technology involved.

In the end, improving the instructionalenvironment means more than deciding what to teach and how to teach it. It also requirespreparing the faculty and instructional infrastructure and adapting to the need for improvement.In conclusion, IT offers strategic problems and opportunities to civil engineers and educators.The problem is that unless the profession takes advantage of the technologies, others will, andcivil engineers will be left behind.
