Abstract

Civil and construction engineers are leaders in delivering successful building, manufacturing, infrastructure and land development projects. Across the United States, civil engineering practice has witnessed considerable transformation, reflecting an integrated plan-design-build paradigm, enabled through comprehensive agreements and seamless collaboration among planning, engineering, design, construction and project management professionals. Engineers, construction industry specialists, and project managers all work together to provide communities and private sector owners with more reliable and sustainable completed projects that meet ever-increasing market demands and strengthen the fabric of flourishing communities. To prepare engineering students to meet these evolving career opportunities, this project will support educational experiences to develop design, technical, and lifelong learning skills, which will prepare students to practice under a Design-Build paradigm. Additional education components further support student success and development, including math preparedness and essential problem-solving proficiencies, along with an array of high-impact learning experiences that will help students develop lifelong learning proficiencies through mastery of specialty skills. Evidence based strategies and tactics will be used to adapt existing parallel degree programs in civil engineering and construction engineering to provide enhanced learning experiences and knowledge
