My response to the difference between engineering and science is summed up in two words: design and explain. Engineers seek to design with multiple realistic constraints Scientists seek to explain multiple relevant details My "engineering" is BS in geological engineering and MS in civil-geotechnical ...

Additional ABET-related experience: I realize that this is an ASCE dialog. A number of engineering programs currently require students to take the FE exam, but not to pass it. The scoring details from the FE exam are used for evaluating the extent to which student outcomes are being attained (Criterion ...

I hope that the discussion related to ABET is helpful. The EAC criteria for accrediting engineering programs has three parts: Part I is General Criteria for Baccalaureate Level Programs; Part II is General Criteria for Master's Level and Integrated Baccalaureate-Master's Level Engineering ...

The posts to this thread have been simultaneously thought provoking and frustrating. This topic deserves to be a panel discussion or a seminar. A couple of references to ABET have been made that reveal what may well be a fundamental misunderstanding about its role in engineering education in general ...

The geological record shows lots of effects of climate change. In fact, the world has been warming since the end of the last ice age, right? Is the weather variability we see today the same or different? ------------------------------ Jeffrey Keaton Ph.D., P.E., D.GE, P.G., ENV SP, F.ASCE Principal ...
