Abstract | This paper discusses the changing role of civil engineers in developed nations. Transportation facilities generally follow a four phase approach before construction: long range systems planning, corridor location study, design location study, and final preparation of plans. Traditional engineering education emphasized the latter two phases but now all phases are treated equally. Thus, the impact of environmental, social, and economic concerns on the initial planning phase of construction must be assessed by engineers. This new emphasis has engendered citizen participation in engineering decisions. Curricula must provide students not only the mathematics and sciences of engineering, but also social and environmental understandings as well. (MR) |
