  2. Professions Organization Ethic of Professional Service Body of Knowledge

  3. ASCE Policy 465(Adopted by the BOD on October 19, 2004) The American Society of Civil Engineers supports the attainment of a Body of Knowledge for entry into the practice of civil engineering at a professional level.

  4. Body of Knowledge Knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to enter into the practice of engineering at the professional level.

  5. The “Bottom Line” Problem Statement “It is evident that the exploding body of science and engineering knowledge cannot be accommodated within the context of the traditional four year baccalaureate degree.” Educating the Engineer of 2020 NAE Report 2005

  6. Problem Statement Body of Knowledge(for Future) Current B + E

  9. BOK – The BIG Picture • Fundamentals -- math, science, and engr science. • Technical breadth. • Breadth in the humanities & social sciences. • Professional practice breadth. • Technical depth (specialization).

  10. Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge TECHNICAL PROFESSIONAL Inter-disciplinary teams Technical core Professional & ethical standards Experimentation Communication Design Impact of engineering Engineering problems Life-long learning Engineering tools Specialized area of civil Engineering (12) Contemporary issues Business & public policy (14) Project management, construction, and asset mgmt.(13) Leadership (15)
