Critical Issues in Highway Engineering Education

by Bob L. Smith, Kansas State Univ, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Engineering 21st Century Highways

Abstract:

The four critical issues addressed are: Recruitment/retention of faculty; Deteriorating laboratory equipment; Undergraduate student enrollment-quantity and quality and Graduate student enrollment. The issues/problems and suggested actions/solutions are presented and discussed. It is concluded that ASCE, ITE, its membership and Transportation/Highway Engineering professionals face a significant challenge if they are to assist in solving the problems described and thereby attract sufficient bright, properly educated young engineers to the profession.
