The AIC's certification of construction professionals may become theconstruction industry's equivalent of engineering profession's EIT/PE. Fundamentals of AICcertification program are discussed along with some pros and cons of the student certificationprocess in the overall context of constructor certification in the continental United States.IntroductionSince the 1980s, there has been a great push from the construction industry to recognizeconstruction

So, our approach includes an emphasis onsocial ethics, i. e, the social arrangements for making decisions. 3) Technology representstransformations of society and of the environment. We encourage students to understand this andto look both upstream and downstream in the product or service life cycle from the design focalpoint. 4) Most technology involves transformations that are global in scope and this is embracedby the curriculum. 5) We stress design

A new way of teaching engineering must be devised [8]. The engineeringgraduates of the future must be able to continuously reeducate themselves, adapt to changingconditions, integrate knowledge from various disciplines, and then apply this knowledge ininnovative and active ways [4].
