Jon Ruskin, English philosopher Relative to today’s basic programs, the outcomes collectively prescribe a substantially greater depth and breadth of knowledge, skill, and attitudes required of an individual aspiring to the practice of civil engineering at the professional level (licensure) in the 21st century. The 21st century civil engineer must demonstrate: 1. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering. 2. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as analyze and interpret data. 3. an ability to design a system, component or process to meet desired needs. 4. an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams. 5. an ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems. 6. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. 7. an ability to communicate effectively. 8. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context. 9. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long learning. 10. a knowledge of contemporary issues. 11. an ability to understand the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. 12. an ability to apply knowledge in a specialized area related to civil engineering. 13. an understanding of the elements of project management, construction, and asset management. 14. an understanding of business and public policy and administration fundamentals. 15. an understanding of the role of the leader and leader-ship principles and attitudes. Knowledge and skill, while necessary, are not sufficient to be a fully functioning professional civil engineer. A civil engineer’s attitude, that is, the manner in which he or she approaches his or her work, will determine how effectively he or she uses hard-earned knowledge and skills. Accordingly, attitudes are an essential part of the BOK (body of knowledge). The end .
