- W659011609 abstract "This article examines the educational preparation of transportation engineers, and makes suggestions on how undergraduate civil engineering programs in both Canada and the United States can be improved. A survey of U.S. universities with accredited undergraduate civil engineering programs found that 81% of the 90 programs required only a single transportation engineering course. A similar survey of 26 Canadian universities with accredited undergraduate engineering programs determined that 62 % of the programs had one course or less in transportation engineering. These findings suggest that both American and Canadian civil engineer graduates had insufficient knowledge to function effectively and efficiently at a professional standard in transportation engineering. A four-year undergraduate program does not allow enough time to study all the areas within civil engineering with sufficient depth. Europe, in contrast, has recently recognized the need to increase the preparation time for specialization in the professions. Education ministers from 29 European countries signed the Bologna Declaration in 1999. The Bologna Process involves the harmonization of European degrees into the bachelor, master and doctorate structure. With its emphasis on a uniform degree structure in Europe, the Bologna Process has affected the professional preparation of engineers. Engineers are now required to take three years of basic engineering to attain a bachelor's degree. This study is followed by two years of specialization in an area of professional practice, culminating in a master's degree. It is suggested that North American faculties of civil engineering should consider the Bologna Process model for three years of basic engineering and two years of specialization for practicing as a professional licensed engineer." @default.
