  • Civil engineering education: coming challenges
    Arciszewski, Tomasz ; Rebolj, Danijel
    The paper discusses the challenges of civil engineering education, including leadership, creativity, computing, security, globalization, and climate changes-related challenges. It addresses the ... present focus on mostly quantitative, or numerical, aspects of civil engineering. The paper proposes a Renaissance in civil engineering education through the reinstatement of the lost balance between creativity and leadership on one side and teaching only the analytical knowledge and skills on the other side. Finding such a balance could be accomplished implementing the Da Vincian principles in civilengineering education and through the development of a modern holistic body of knowledge in civil engineering. The paper also briefly discusses both the ASCE and the European Union efforts to improve the civil engineering education. Finally, globalization of this education is proposed, which would maximize the utilization of the limited resources and would create o new era of global cooperation.
