“Proceedings of the 2003 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2003, American Society for Engineering Education”III. Role of Civil EngineersClough (2000) states, “Today, most of the buzz is about biotechnology and informationtechnology, but the future of our society also rests on technologies that are more basic to itsfunctioning. The combination of a growing world population with the human tendency to delaydealing with infrastructure and environmental needs until they have reached crisis proportions,means that our profession will become more essential than ever before.” Clough acknowledgesthat there are emerging fields where most research money is being poured, and urges

To create the needed advanced technology to wage the war, Ph.D’s inscience were enlisted to work on undersea warfare technology, radar and nuclear weapons. Then there wasSputnik. Both World War II and Sputnik served as wake-up-calls to the universities to do something aboutengineering education, that is, a shift in the education of the engineering student to emphasize the scienceunderlying engineering. Not only courses, but research as well, reflected this change. Beginning in the 1970s through to the present, there was the realization or perception that America wasfalling behind Japan and other nations in manufacturing and in general, in relating science
