Abstract:

ASCE held a Conference on Civil Engineering Education at Madison, Wisc., in April 1979, and these three items seemed to be among those generating most interest: (1)Professional Schools of Engineering/Civil Engineering�should they be established? Are they likely to be? (2)financial situation of universities in general, and engineering schools within them, is not good. Here's a status report, and how one university found money to modernize its labs. (3)humanities and social science stem within the engineering curriculum�how well is it received? And which schools are among the most successful in integrating it into the curriculum, and how do they do it�
