At that level, graduates should beable to2: • List the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools that are necessary for engineering practice. • Explain how these techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools are used in engineering practice. • Apply relevant techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools to solve problems.Others that have recognized these needs with respect to the Civil Engineering profession includeGrigg et. al.

education institutions have the practicalrequirement to include ethics education to maintain ABET accreditation for engineeringprograms [7]. Ideally, students are equipped to consider ethical dilemmas from the microethics ofindividual ethics decisions to the macroethics of policy implications on an organization andsociety as a whole, and students should understand how microethics and macroethics areconnected [4], [8], [9]. Graduates should not only be equipped to behave ethically as professionalengineers in their individual practice as an engineer but also be equipped to understand broaderethical complexities that could arise as a corporate manager or executive, a research director, orany other local, national, or global position of leadership.An

Natural response to initial conditions and forced response to periodic input areinvestigated. Vibration absorbers and torsional systems with multiple branches are covered atthis point.Throughout the course, students intensely study the instruments of vibration measurement, whichis a difference from a traditional vibrations course.

engineers commonly agree that most of the design problems they face in practiceare multi-faceted challenges that involve conflicting trade-offs and ambiguities that are solvedvia an iterative process. In support of this reality, ABET calls for a capstone design experienceprior to graduation that teaches engineering students about teamwork, communication, and theengineering design process.3 In a university environment where faculty members specialize indisciplinary areas, teaching a multidisciplinary capstone design course where a diversity ofknowledge, skills, and experience is required can be a challenging situation. Our experience isthat engineering instructors are sometimes uncomfortable teaching a capstone course because ofthe uncertainties
