From inceptionthrough 16 semesters of instruction, the percentage of students who “passed” the course with agrade of “C” or better varied from 90% to 100%, average 97%. The overall course gradebreakdown per semester was “A”: 19% to 78%, average 47%; “B”: 15% to 66%, average 41%;“C”: 0% to 16%, average 10%; “D”: 0% to 7%, average 1%; and “F”: 0% to 7%, average 1%.

After assessing the changes to the Structural Analysis course, we will decide whether tomake similar changes in the class meeting times for the Structural Design courses.The Structural Analysis course syllabus lists the following broad goals for the course: a) Students will develop technical skills in classical methods for analysis of determinate and indeterminate structures. b) Students will gain proficiency in analysis structures comprised of trusses, beams, frames

Accreditation Commission (EAC), the body responsible foraccreditation of engineering programs, changed the criteria for Civil Engineering programs toinclude a requirement that graduates of those programs “can . . . apply knowledge of . . . at leastone additional area of science, consistent with the program educational objectives”.1 This newrequirement appears to have its origins in the Body of Knowledge (BOK), and the desire to makethose ideals and the ABET requirements for Civil Engineering programs become one in thesame. However, for many programs across the country this became an issue of concern andconfusion. Taking its cue from the BOK the “one additional area of science” shortly becamedefined to mean a physical science, as opposed to a social
