THE RAISE THE BAR INITIATIVE: CHARTING THE FUTURE BY UNDERSTANDING THE PATH TO THE PRESENT - EXPERIENTIAL GUIDELINES

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to provide the engineering education community with a summary of ASCE's Body of Knowledge (BOK) Experiential Fulfillment Committee's (BOKExFC) initial work to improve the pre-licensure attainment of experience outcomes for engineering interns. ASCE's "experiential initiative" began in 2007 and ultimately led to the development of the Guidelines for Attainment of Experiential Outcomes for the outcomes with experiential expectations contained in the second edition of the civil engineering BOK. This paper provides a summary of the BOKExFC activities and emphasizes the guidance for engineering interns, supervisors, and mentors for documenting, validating, and reporting experience activities during the pre-licensure state of an intern's career.
