The report closes with the thought that although a “no action” option ispossible, it is not prudent and that, “No action would lead to a diminished role for the civilengineering profession and its members.”Shortly after release, the TC

In order not to subtract from the quality of the main version, it wasdecided to first design and implement this version, with the restraints of the handheld in mind,then transcribe that content to the handheld version. Because both versions would be presentingthe same information in a similar manner, this served to restrict the languages and tools that wereavailable. Limitations such as display size, language support, color restrictions, navigation, andcontent detail had to be carefully balanced between making the main version presentable for full-size viewing and making the

The high withdraw rate suggests that engineering students that enter a first-yearprogramming course without having completed an advanced computer science course in highschool may be at a significant disadvantage to students that have had this opportunity. In addition,although nearly seventy percent of students attending public high schools in the state of Michiganhave access to at least one computer science course, it needs to be better understood as to whymore students planning to pursue engineering in college are not enrolling in these courses.BackgroundComputer science education has been a topic of discussion since the mid twentieth
