Working together with software, it provides a full set of geo-referencing,surveying, and CAD integrated engineering tools for creating accurate drawings and models. 445These three technologies can be integrated together for new construction and major remodelingprojects. By putting together the VR, the BIM and the 3D Laser Scanner, students will have thecutting edge capacity to seek potential nationally competitive jobs. These

and to act as a coach in directing the process to its ultimategoal. 3. Students should be given sufficient time and opportunity to practice what they learn sothat they can discover and create their own knowledge, where knowledge is defined as that whichresults from use of information for a particular application. To this end students must beengaging in activities similar to the ones they will be faced with in their professional careers. Fora discipline like construction engineering this is especially challenging in view of the difficulty ofthe scale of things that go on in this industry and bringing them into the classroom.

Lavelle, Ph.D. College of Engineering, NC State University  Abstract: This paper describes a new proposed model and way of thinking about the process of assessing and evaluating engineering higher education programs for accreditation, and the way that data is used and shared. Proposed is a new construct for formatting and using data collected on the program self study report. In addition, it is suggested that now, 20 years after EC2000 was first designed, it is time to re-design, re-configure and re-engineer our current accreditation processes in light of new technologies and all that we’ve learned in these

Certification tests will then be developed withimplementation planned for fall 2005.Committee membership consisted of K-12 educators, engineering educators, and practicingengineers. The biggest hurdle faced by the committee was reaching a common understanding ofwhat engineering is and is not. The committee agreed that engineering is not the same asmathematics or science, not applied mathematics and science, and not technology. A consensuswas reached to use the engineering method, i.e., synthesis/design, as the basis of the standards.ABET EC2000 accreditation criteria also influence the

Each call for reform“has sought to enlarge the core identity of the engineer from a technician skilled atcalculation and fabrication to a professional member of the wider culture” (Cohen,Rossmann, and Sanford Bernhardt, 2014).
