anegative impact on the graduate program. In response the graduate curriculum was revisited and anew core was designed. The philosophy of the three new core courses was to embrace these prob-lems, solve them, and then work beyond. After the core, the students are considered to have anequal level of knowledge, thus allowing the following courses to advance much farther and faster.This paper focuses on one core course EGR 604 - Implementation3 that deals with the practicalissues of engineering. The objective of the course is given below. “Students will strengthen the ties between theoretical analysis and physical implementa- tions. This will be done by examining various method such as planning and conducting experiments, data

applied research, often inemerging areas that are only tangentially related to traditional civil and environmental engineer-ing areas. To remain competitive, research-oriented departments are hiring faculty in these cut-ting-edge engineering science-oriented research areas who may not have strong training in tradi-tional CEE areas, and especially in design. In smaller departments, this type of hiring practicehas the potential to cause the undergraduate curriculum to favor engineering science-orientedtopics over engineering practice-oriented topics. This paper examines recent faculty hiring prac-tices in 14 small- to medium-sized research-oriented CEE departments in the U.S., and discussespotential impacts on the profession. The importance of
