As such, some formal construction training isneeded to provide our graduates with the necessary tools for successful practice.However, adding coursework on construction to the undergraduate curriculum is not a simpletask. Civil engineering undergraduate programs are constantly encouraged to reduce credit hoursand to increase emphasis on liberal arts and social sciences. At the same time, technology isadvancing at an exponential rate, which is requiring the civil engineer to be knowledgeable ofnew techniques and tools such as GIS, GPS, computational mechanics, modeling, etc. Whilefive-year programs or a master’s degree have been suggested by ASCE and others, it is felt thatsome basic training in construction at the

Safety issues and the application of government regulations and professionalengineering codes were explicitly addressed at each stage in the development of the design.The topic of the project was such that a significant amount of the design decision making processrequired the use of sophisticated, professional level, computer simulation techniques. Theinformation required for numerical simulation was often obtained by experiments designed andperformed by student teams. One spin-off of this approach was that some of the design groupscooperated in sharing experimental procedures and data which expanded their individuallearning communities.Many of the faculty throughout the Russ College of Engineering and Technology

The curriculum of the engineering programs is much morerigorous than the other majors at VSU. Specifically, all of the engineering programs at VSU areaccredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET).

. Often the projects were found to be flawed inso much as they required students to design using technologies that were beyond theircomprehension as first year students. Asking students to design a “writing robot”, whilepotentially a very challenging and interesting task, led to situations where students were unableto generate ideas or alternatives, let alone be able to evaluate the goodness of a given design. Itwas learned that the criteria for projects that would lead to a successful design by first yearengineering course required careful consideration. It may be argued that first year students arenot capable of engineering design but this suggests that engineering is a technology professionthat only deals with complex, highly technical
