Purpose and Background

What does the world expect from civil engineers and how can we prepare civil engineers to Engineer Tomorrow, starting today? Learn how responsible innovation is central to the future of civil engineering. Explore the tools and resources like the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge (CEBOK), available to guide civil engineers (students, academics, practitioners, employers, and owners) toward continual development and growth in our profession. Learn how ASCE is taking on this challenge and how you can take part in it.

Benefits and Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Describe how rapid changes in our world directly affect how civil engineers practice today and into the future.
• Define what responsible innovation means when applied to civil engineering practice (opportunities, responsibilities, obligations) and why it is a fundamental duty of civil engineering practice.
• Explain the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) necessary for responsible charge as outlined in the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge (CEBOK), and how to attain and maintain these KSAs throughout your career.

Assessment of Learning Outcomes

Students' achievement of the learning outcomes will be assessed via a short post-assessment (true-false, multiple choice and fill in the blank questions).
