existing sharedmaterials to make the content current.Negotiating a Joint Enterprise: Developing Showcase Lessons and a Model InfrastructureCourse OutlineA successful aspect of the CIT-E CoP has been to bring members together for summerworkshops to build relationships and move the work forward (see Appendices A and B foragendas). In 2014, individuals came together for an initial three-day CIT-E workshop. Prior tothe workshop, participants met regularly through webinars to discuss the shared vision for CIT-Eand to understand participants’ needs for materials and resources. The 2014 summer workshopincluded an idea exchange poster session where members shared their current or proposedinfrastructure course models and solicited feedback and questions

for BOK fulfillment. “BABET” refers to an ABET/EAC accredited baccalaureate degree in civil engineering. “M/30” refers to a master’s degree or approximately 30 semester credits of acceptable graduate-level (or upper-level undergraduate) courses in a technical or professional practice area related to civil engineering. “E” refers to engineering experience. For this path, the accreditation process provides validation of the baccalaureate component of the BOK. Validation of the “M/30” program will be provided by an approved outside entity, which might also be ABET. • B + MABET & E – This secondary path is currently being explored by ASCE for fulfilling the Civil Engineering Body of

Enrollment of both undergraduate programsduring Fall 2010 was 268. Both program curriculums require a two semester course on acomprehensive design application. The courses are designed to meet specific ABET outcomesof A, C, D, F, G, H, I, J and K. Also to meet an additional program outcome: students are able toexplain basic concepts in management, business, public policy and leadership.Program Outcomes are as follows: A) An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering B) An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as
homework assignment was on professionalism (16 points within the 100 pointassignment). This question had four parts: (a) list the typical steps to become a licensedPE, (b) discuss why licensure is important, (c) select five attitudes from within the ASCEBOK2 outcome 22 and discuss why important, and (d) do you think a Master’s degree or30 additional credits of coursework should be required for professional licensure? Why orwhy not? Part (d) is the focus of this inquiry. Students were pointed to four resources tosupport answering the professionalism part of the homework: the ASCE BOK2 (referredspecifically to Figure 1 and pgs. 6-9 and 21-22 in [44]), the NSPE website [45], andsources from the ASCE Raise the Bar [46, 47].

Some variability is expected in the responses, but this serves to encourage classdiscussion. The majority of students compute (b), which is probably the right answer, but it isinteresting to hear what assumptions lead students to pick (a), (c), or (d). The students noticethat no groups that do a realistic calculation pick (e).Question 2: Referring to Figure 1 (below), none of the bolts will fail under the loads indicated.Rank the bolts according to how near they are to failure (closest-to

The team has also been invited to join EWB-PPC on their implementation trip to Ecuador next year to help construct the system. B. La Paz Community – Panama The second team took on the project of installing a water system in the community of La Paz in Panama. This project was an extension to the previous projects for the Kuna Nega community. The Kuna Nega community is supplied water by a pressure main running from Panama City. Every week, this pressure main is shut off for up to 36 hours, and the community is supplied water solely by an existing 10,000 gallon storage

comparison above would also appear to dictate the deletion of criteria provisions regardinglifelong learning and contemporary issues, as well as changes to criteria provisions regarding thesocial sciences. However, all of these provisions are contained in the ABET Basic-LevelGeneral Criteria and thus cannot be readily changed by ASCE. It should also be noted thatdeletion of the requirement for experimentation from the Civil Engineering Program Criteriawould not result in the removal of experimentation from curricula, because Criterion 3(b) of theGeneral Criteria still requires “an ability to design and conduct experiments,” albeit notnecessarily in a civil engineering context.The comparison above would also appear to dictate the addition of a
