.Armed with this wealth of information, the faculty ultimately had to determine the specifics ofhow to assess the outcomes considering some specific issues surrounding the WKU CivilEngineering program, including the following: 1. The CE faculty consists of only 4 people, therefore, the assessment workload cannot be burdensome, 2. The WKU Engineering programs are project based which the faculty must be evident in the outcomes assessment process, 3. The programs are going through their first EAC of ABET accreditation, therefore the opinion was that the Criterion 3 requirements must not only be met, but comfortably exceeded to avoid any possibility of a deficiency in this area.Based on the necessary background information

Committee on Faculty Development to define who should teachthe body of knowledge. Discussion focuses on faculty credentials, methods of content delivery,and venue of programs, e.g., in-residence versus distance education programs.Introduction Since the mid 1990s ASCE leadership has supported the notion that formal education ofcivil engineers beyond the baccalaureate degree was required as a prerequisite for professionalregistration. This concept was initially proposed in 1998 with the moniker “Master’s as the FirstProfessional Degree.” This notion of increased formal education met with some negativereaction from the rank and file membership of ASCE.1 and as a result the ASCE Board ofDirection formed the Task Committee for the First

methods andprocesses, and the outcomes of the assessment, will not conflict with the demands of the otherassessment ingredients in the cooking pot. This may be explained further by using an analogywith a 2-lane ‘A’ road through higher education leading to a predetermined learning outcome.The 2 lane ‘A’ road, as illustrated below, represents, in the one lane, the ‘student learning’ and, inthe other, the ‘assessment of student learning’. It is proposed that this is the ‘traditional’ modelwhereby the assessment of student learning runs parallel with the learning itself and complementsthe learning. There should be no diversions or obstructions on this road. There are always factorswhich impinge on and distract this process, but more and more, the

Three performance criteria based on the FE were established as general standards forall graduates, since all OUCE students are required to take the FE Exam. First, there is anexpectation that the overall percentage of students receiving a passing grade will exceed thenational average for the CE discipline. Second, regardless of the national average, it is expectedthat 80% of all students taking the FE will receive a passing grade. Third, for specific

design anddesign-related courses is repeatedly emphasized by ABET during accreditation visits and byother engineering organizations, such as ASEE, in conferences and through relevantpublications. Thus, directions for proper merging of professional experience with engineeringscience in design courses are a concern that comes up often in educational forums. How bestcould such “a merging scenario” be planned and implemented, depends on: faculty foresight,available resources, and the commitment-on the part of the faculty and the administration-to themission.The paper reports on a success story of such a merger in a geotechnical/foundation class. Thesuccess achieved was attributed, in large measure, to the proper coordination that precededcourse

Their study found that“problem areas like qualitative reasoning, analogy, and creativity are ignored in favor of ones that are more easilyformalized” [31]. Promoting critical thinking and creativity through interdisciplinary approaches to problem-solvingcan set the basis for qualitative reasoning beyond quantitative analyses. It also allows for deeper reasoning on theinterplays between society and technology.These findings echo Mishra and Siy, who warned that “a Computer Science centric

rather than simply watching the instructor. The ‘flipped’ classroom [9] is an excellentexample of where students are mentored through solving problems rather than being ‘shown’how to work problems. Repeatedly showing students a solution method leads to rotememorization of the steps and little understanding of what each step accomplishes. Havingstudents answer their own how-to questions amongst themselves leads to more experimentationand results in greater understanding. They begin looking beyond the equations and into thebehaviors.Today’s technology enables lightning fast, precise calculations.

After getting to know each other, membersusually move to the ‘storming’ stage, where they engage in project work and challenge eachother’s boundaries and expectations [8]. At this stage, they start to understand each other bydiscovering their skills, weaknesses, and personalities.
