The focus has shifted to what are often calledprofessional skills which can be defined as “skills essential to thrive in a work setting but arehistorically not included in engineering or engineering technology coursework” [3]. A NationalAcademy of Engineering report notes the growing demand for engineering graduates withprofessional skills in addition to technical skills [4].Professional skills include, for example, communication skills, emotional intelligence, teamworkand multidisciplinary work, curiosity and a persistent desire for continuous learning, projectmanagement (supervising

process is a self-policing function that protects the high qualityof civil engineering programs around the country. Others find this system to be stifling,inflexible and too prescriptive. As state legislatures have forced civil engineering programs to fit Page 11.1260.4into 120 or 128 credit hour programs, there is little room for creativity or innovation after all ofthe mandatory requirements have been met. As technology has expanded, engineering hasbecome more interdisciplinary and the expertise required goes far beyond the traditional civilengineering sub-disciplines.

Courses are often planned to attract students who are ‘initiative-’ or ‘technology-aware’ (for example, the recent explosion of courses in Internet Engineering). It is bothdifficult and resource intensive to maintain meaningful advisory relationships with a broadrange of current engineering practitioners. Therefore many HEIs prefer to simply consult aselect band of industrially-based departmental friends when proposals are all but complete.One should therefore not be surprised that our curriculum is not always ideally suited to thecomplexities of the current industrial environment.The University’s PerspectiveThroughout the rapid
