Developing Professional Integrity Indicators for Chief Supervision Engineers in China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Chief supervision engineers (CSEs) are often employed by owners to address issues related to health, safety, and quality at jobsites in China. Like other professional practitioners, professional ethics, especially individual ... -
Civil Engineering Workforce and Education: Twenty Years of Change
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Two decades of change in technologies and business practices are assessed for their effects on civil engineering work, organizations, and education. The number of civil engineering jobs continues to rise, with projections ... -
Leveraging Vertically Integrated Courses and Problem-Based Learning to Improve Students’ Performance and Skills
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Commonly adopted engineering pedagogy tends to be lecture based, and places students in a passive and often secondary role in the classroom. Research in the field of engineering education highlights the ineffectiveness of ... -
Assessment and Characterization of Writing Exercises in Core Engineering Textbooks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Writing has been identified as a critical skill and element of the engineering profession, yet it is rarely included in sophomore-level and junior-level courses. Textbooks often influence how courses are structured, and ... -
Shared Leadership in Capstone Design Teams: Social Network Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Multiple national-level reports encourage engineering faculty to help undergraduate engineers develop a basic level of leadership knowledge to enable leadership growth upon graduation. Recent engineering leadership literature ... -
Motivating Civil Engineering Students: Self-Determinacy Perspective
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Motivation is a psychological construct shown to influence an individual’s success. Researchers have focused on factors affecting student motivation but have neglected to address the temporal changes in student motivation ... -
Faculty Perspectives on Sustainability Integration in Undergraduate Civil and Environmental Engineering Curriculum
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Engineering courses that incorporate sustainability provide students with tools to solve the pressing problems of our future and a meaningful way to connect with their education through introduction of the global, societal, ... -
Navigational Complexity within Building Codes: Quantification and Affirmation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The premise that building codes have become too complex has been discussed, commented on, and documented by practicing engineers; however, there is little quantitative evidence that codes are more complex today than in ... -
Low-Choice Culture in Undergraduate Engineering and Autonomy-Supportive Exceptions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Over the last century, colleges and universities in the United States have increasingly provided students with opportunities in the curriculum to choose the courses they take. Have engineering programs followed suit? This ... -
Active Experiential Sustainable Engineering Module for Engineering Education
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper explores the cognitive and affective outcomes of the Sustainable Metrics (SusMet) Module for introducing engineering students to concepts of design for end-of-life and design for disassembly (explicit) and ... -
Inclusion of an Introduction to Infrastructure Course in a Civil and Environmental Engineering Curriculum
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Civil infrastructure refers to the built environment (sometimes referred to as public works) and consists of roads, bridges, buildings, dams, levees, drinking water treatment facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, ... -
Civil Engineering Students in the Final Year of Their Bachelor’s Degree: Evaluation of Group Project Work under a Retrospective Dimension
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)A successful civil engineering project is often a highly collaborative team-based activity, and the engineering education community must therefore prepare graduates to work in this type of environment. A large body of ... -
Socially Engaged Engineers’ Career Interests and Experiences: A Miner’s Canary
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Engineers that are actively engaged with both the social and technical dimensions of engineering work—socially engaged engineers—offer diversity in skill sets, values, and characteristics to the engineering workforce. This ... -
Validating the Importance of Leadership Themes for Entry-Level Engineering Positions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)There is a strong demand signal from the engineering industry for entry-level engineers to possess both technical skills and leadership skills. Limited research has been performed to define what companies mean by leadership ... -
Developing Topographic Surveying Software to Train Civil Engineers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)In this study, software was developed for the improvement of professional skills in topographic-surveying subjects taught in engineering degree programs. This learning tool is focused on developing the skill involved in ... -
Educational Games on Procurement and Negotiation: Perspectives of Learning Effectiveness and Game Strategies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Most construction management courses comprise only lectures on procurement and negotiation; therefore, students lack practical experience. In this study, an educational game was developed to help students make procurement ... -
