The definition of civil engineering education is evolving as the 21st century prepares to enter its second decade. Traditional, discipline-oriented programs are being questioned at both professional and academic levels. In the ASCE Body of Knowledge, the outcomes that civil engineers are expected to achieve are expanding and changing. No longer is it sufficient for a civil engineering student to achieve competence in technical areas such as structural engineering or construction management. Rather, emerging expectations expand this technical competence to include non-traditional areas including leadership, economics, and project management. The emergence of these non-traditional areas mirrors my personal teaching philosophy that an educator has the responsibility to open doors to new knowledge areas. These areas may be ones that students may not have anticipated or even fully understand at this stage in their education, but serve as a stepping stone to long-term success. Although my core teaching area is construction engineering and management, my perspective on teaching is engineering in its broadest definition.
