of measuring student knowledge gained,professional skills are not as easily assessed. Additionally, previous scholarship found thatprofessional skills are best acquired through experiential learning activities such as internships,research projects, leadership roles, and other co- and extra-curricular activities [3] - [8]. Thesefactors demonstrate the need to develop professional skills in students and create a mechanismthat assesses the skills. Thus, this certification framework aims to facilitate and track theacquisition of professional skills through an academic structure that encourages experientiallearning activities that will provide students with the skills required upon graduation.Therefore, to address the demand for well-rounded

Increased emphasis on “green” products for construction, sustainability issues, and impact on the environment: it is increasingly the case that the construction industry is being expected to be more accountable in above respects. There is a slow but steady movement towards “green” design and construction where special emphasis is attributed to energy used in production of construction/building materials, energy used by buildings within the context of their design

Forexample, quantification of environmental impacts (e.g. using life cycle assessment) andpositive social impacts is now required, but it is late in the curriculum to introduce theseconcepts, which would be better shifted to the first year. The requirement for faculty todevelop appropriate material for each course is a significant barrier, which we hope thatSCOP can help overcome.In general, a community of practice is needed in order to keep the conversation movingforward, to normalize and support the thinking about how to teach these topics, and toprovide a forum for exchanging ideas and information.

To be educated to be a practicing engineer, students mustlearn the technical details of subjects important in their discipline. But ABET also recognizesthe need for students to learn non-technical subjects, as graduates should be able to so suchthings as include non-technical components such as cultural factors in their designs, and makeengineering judgements based on societal contexts.
