The visibility and positive reception of the National Academyof Engineering’s The Engineer of 2020: Visions of a New Century1 attests to the increasingimportance of this commitment. The purpose of this article is to examine the extent to whichsuch well-roundedness is reflected in the actual work that engages graduates of U.S. engineeringprograms.In undertaking this study, the authors expected to find evidence of graduates applying theirproblem-solving skills to non-technical arenas such as policy work, public service, or legislation.This hypothesis was introduced by The Engineer of 2020, and serves as an axiom within theASEE community.

. Hospital facilities areunder almost constant renovation as medical treatment technologies, patient age demographicsand patient demand for comfort amenities evolve. Infectious control represents one of the morechallenging aspects of selective demolition and remodeling to hospital constructors. Hospitals (aswell as other structures) pre-dating the 1970’s may be home to hazardous materials such asasbestos, PCB’s and lead paints. Demolition contractors are often the first to encounter thesehazards which represent a challenge whether they are to be encapsulated or abated and landfilled.It is hypothesized that a course focusing on selective demolition and remodeling could serve bothspecializations equally well.In addition to a heavy equipment course, a
