These engineers work under the corporate umbrella of their employer andtypically are not held individually liable for their actions.The purpose of this paper is to answer the following research questions:  What are the ongoing threats to licensure as a professional engineer and why are they happening?  Why do future civil engineers need to fulfill the CE-BOK to meet ever-changing societal needs and expectations?  How can ASCE’s Engineer Tomorrow initiative shape the civil

According to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE)1, “Only 40-60percent of entering engineering students persist to an engineering degree, and women andminorities are at the low end of that range. These retention rates represent an unacceptablesystemic failure to support student learning in the field.” (p. 40).Noteworthy is that research has shown that predictors of retention change throughout the firsttwo years of an engineering program and predictors of graduation vary across universities.2Tinto’s3 Student Integration Theory posits that students enter university with varied backgroundcharacteristics and goal commitments which in turn influences their
