It can be seen that the students performed especially well in the laboratorycomponent of the course, while they generally performed in an above average manner for the exam(and overall) when compared to courses at this level in the B.S. program. It is also worth noting thatfor ABET accreditation and internal college/university-level assessment purposes, the courselearning outcomes were defined to be met if at least 70% of the students score above a 70% grade –this was of course very comfortably achieved in the representative semester highlighted below, aswell as all in all of the semester that the

account for all of the real-world constraints faced by engineering programs such as mandated maximum units in anundergraduate program and additional requirements imposed by a state government or auniversity. Conversely, the ABET program criteria define the minimum requirements for aprogram to receive accreditation. As such, there will naturally be a gap between those twostandards. With the newest iteration of the CEPC completed, it is important to assess that gapbetween the requirements of the BOK2 at the undergraduate level and the newly revised CEPC.The body of knowledge needed by the civil engineer of the future is constantly changing.

Assignments, textbooks, the examination system, and even the physicalarrangements of many large classrooms reflect a more individualistic conception of learning."
