For each person, please indicate: (a) The person’s potential to secure a P.E. license soon after tenure (b) The ability of the person to teach design courses in their disciplineIn general, department chairs indicated that there has been a change over time with respect tofaculty hiring practices and that the number of faculty with the ability to teach traditional designin on the decline. Nevertheless, the department chairs tended to be optimistic with respect to theability of their faculty to teach design courses and obtain the P.E. license.

American Society of Civil Engineers supports the attainmentof a Body of Knowledge (BOK) for entry into the practice of civil engineering at the professionallevel.” To promulgate an aspirational vision, support Policy 465, and be successfullyimplemented, the civil engineering BOK must specifically define the knowledge, skills, andattitudes of the future civil engineer. This paper describes the inclusive process being used todevelop the second edition of the BOK expected for the future practice of civil engineering. Thesecond edition of the BOK (BOK2) builds on the first edition of the BOK, which was released in2004. The BOK2 is the foundation on which tomorrow’s civil engineering accreditation criteriaand individual program curricula will be

The EBOK envisions the capabilities of tomorrow’s practicingprofessional engineers and is intended to include all engineering disciplines practiced inthe U.S. Process UsedThe LQPC EBOK Subcommittee developed a draft outline which was approved by theLQPC in March 2012 for review within NSPE. The outline included “Guiding PrinciplesThat Will Shape the Future of Engineering” and “Key Attributes of the ProfessionalEngineer” the final versions of which are included as Appendices B and C in this paper.The guiding principles and the key attributes are included here to provide some insightinto the thought process that ultimately led to the EBOK.

parts of the world. The class was organized into interdisciplinary teams of fourto five students to study one of the pedestrian wood bridges presented during the first class meet-ing. The case studies included bridges from different parts of the world (Europe, South America,and the United States), exhibiting a variety of structural systems, such as arches, trusses, beams,suspension systems and combined systems. (Attachment B). The teams were required to preparea case study consisting of a presentation and a written report. (Attachment C)Since the case study in this format was a new experience for the engineering students, severallearning objectives were established for this exercise. The students were required to: (1) research information
developing a problem statement prior to beginning work on anydesigned solution. This included a statement that described the problem their team soughtto address and provided an explanation and data demonstrating a) what the problem is(i.e., how do we know it exists in the place you are studying?) What peer-reviewedsources and credible news accounts give evidence of this problem); b) the impacts of theproblem; c) the cause or causes of the problem. In each case, we challenged students toprovide not only a claim, but also data (peer-reviewed sources and credible newsaccounts giving evidence that the claim is true), followed by a warrant or explanationthat logically connected the data to the claim.When students arrived at the design phase (in the
