Practical Use of the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge Abstract As stated in ASCE Policy Statement 465, the CEBOK3 defines the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that all civil engineers should strive for to meet their professional obligations when serving in responsible charge. The PE license is the legal authority to practice engineering, but no longer signals that a civil engineer is prepared for responsible charge. The CEBOK3 defines a clear and user-friendly pathway to develop the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes for responsible charge starting with undergraduate education and advancing through an engineer’s early career to and post-licensure. This presentation will provide practical examples of how every civil engineer should utilize the CEBOK3 as the roadmap to advance their career and develop their skills. Learning Objective(s) 1. Why should the civil engineering profession have a Body of Knowledge? 2. Why should all civil engineering stakeholders understand the CEBOK3? 3. Why do civil engineers who serve in responsible charge need to attain and maintain the outcomes defined in the CEBOK3? 4. How can civil engineering stakeholders use the CEBOK3? 5. What resources would help civil engineers who serve in responsible charge attain and maintain the outcomes defined in the CEBOK3?
