Goldberg et al. (2014) described howindustry involvement in a multidisciplinary design course benefited both students as well asindustry participants. In addition, such involvement by the industry professionals makes thecurriculum current and relevant to the discipline [2]. Weissbach, et al.

to Go—The National Research Council (NRC) recently published a reportciting three “serious concerns” with engineering graduates. Many have “little knowledge of thedesign process,” “inadequate knowledge of the role of technology in their professions,” and“little knowledge of business, economics, and management.” These issues cut to the core of civilengineering. Graduates who do not understand “The Big Picture” will be challenged to providesafe, practical design in a complex future. 4. Fewer Credits—Civil engineers are expected to simultaneously possess greater breadthof capability and greater specialized technical competence than was required of previousgenerations—a nearly impossible challenge with fewer college credits.
