This difference is highlighted on the board. During the problemsolving, students are not given any further context as to why the change in the design was madeor information about the Hyatt Regency disaster.In the second stage of the lesson, students conduct a hands-on demonstration that models theirown calculations to destructive failure. A schematic of the demonstration is shown in Figure 2with a picture of students loading the demonstration shown in Figure 3.

This paper presents information from a Delphi-type survey on the additionalcompetencies expected by the structural engineering community to be gotten by the entrance-level engineer during the first 5 years of experience following completion of a masters-levelgraduate program. It does this by defining the competencies as quantified using Bloom’staxonomy [1] expected by the structural engineering profession in 44 specific subtopics within thefollowing 5 general areas: A-Basic Mechanics and Engineering Tools, B-General StructuralEngineering Tools, C-Technology and Communication Tools, D-Structural Engineering Topicsand Tools, E-Management and Professional Tools at both

Ourfocus is on helping students transition from the type of writing they are used to producing toeffective technical writing. The seven assignments during those first 12 lessons are listed inTable 1. Each assignment is less than 10 pages of reading. Details of each reading assignmentare included in Appendix B. Some time is spent during lesson 1 introducing the concept oftechnical writing and the writing program in the course. A small amount of time is spent insubsequent lessons touching on highlights from the readings about technical writing. Page 13.1295.3
