Core courses make up89.8% of the credit hour requirements at the University of British Columbia (UBC),which until 2010 was the only institution in British Columbia (B.C.) to offer anaccredited program in Civil Engineering. There is therefore limited opportunity to takespecialized and advanced optional technical structural engineering courses in the typicalCanadian undergraduate civil engineering program and in B.C. specifically.The practice of Professional Engineering in Canada is self-regulated by Provincial andTerritorial associations.

Students work in teams of three to five,are supervised by a faculty advisor, and are encouraged to work closely with the liaison engineerfrom the sponsoring company.Typically, the senior design course requirements include working on the assigned project,reporting on progress in oral and written format, writing final project report, learning andassessment of basic design process, learning engineering ethics, building knowledge ofcontemporary issues

is that, while it is required for engineering majors, it is also opento non-engineers. The course fulfills two of Sweet Briar’s general education requirements: (i)Appreciate and apply ethical reasoning and (ii) Understand how economic, political, and legalsystems shape the modern world. As a result, a percentage of the course is made up ofhumanities and business majors. While it is fairly common for engineering departments to offercourses for majors in non-technical fields, the goal of these courses is usually to increase the“technical literacy” of these non-majors.4 This is a secondary benefit of our course, however ourprimary goal in bringing non-majors into a required engineering course is to expand thediscussion of the relationship

How does Schumacher view consumption-based economies? What kind of alternative system or reforms does he propose? ≠ Some of the book's insights are aimed at the scientific community, with Schumacher asserting that scientists are incapable of ethical decision-making regarding the direction of their research.

In particular, ABET has required that engineeringprograms specify program outcomes, statements that describe what students are expected toknow and be able to do by the time of graduation1. As part of the accreditation process,programs must evaluate and provide evidence that graduates satisfy these program outcomes.The results of this assessment are then used to make program improvements
