Special Features of the Program
Many within the engineering profession acknowledge that today's undergraduate engineering education has its shortcomings. For a variety of reasons, students obtaining bachelor's degrees today are lacking in several key areas (technical and non-technical). Recently, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) assembled a team of industry and academic professionals who were charged with creating a long term strategic plan that addresses these shortcomings.Their comprehensive report provided recommendations for improving civil engineering education, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, in the 21st century.
