Thus, theobjective of the planning grant is to pilot a project-driven, “course-less” curriculum. Inthis setting, “course-less” does not mean to “no courses.” Rather, there would be “less”of them, because traditional courses that teach basic concepts would be replaced withself-paced IT modules. The pilot study consists of four phases: 1) develop electronicmodules to deliver content from fluid mechanics on a just-in-time basis; 2) beta-test themodules with students who have not

ASCE formed a committee to study and develop a CivilEngineering Body of Knowledge (BOK)1 to document the requisite knowledge, skills,and attitudes necessary for future civil engineers. Two key areas that resulted from theBOK and an effort to demonstrate the BOK outcomes by the ASCE CurriculumCommittee2 were a need to define expected performance levels by these new engineersthrough Bloom’s taxonomy3 as well as the addition of four new outcomes focused onadditional professional topics and discipline depth.

After determining the global learning aspects already presentin our curriculum, we categorized those aspects into each of the three global learning outcomesof sustainability, diversity and global engagement. From there, we could see which global learn-ing outcomes were already well-supported in our curriculum, and only needed formalization andassessment, and which outcomes were only weakly supported, needing development of furtherefforts to strengthen that global learning outcome in our curriculum. To minimize additional fac-ulty workload, the aspects that would support the particular global learning outcome should alsosupport our ABET and program outcomes whenever possible, so that assessment can target multi
