Development of the 3rd Edition of the ASCE Body of Knowledge

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has formed a committee to develop a 3 rd edition of the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge (BOK3), to build on the first and second editions.Over the past year the BOK3 committee has been researching the literature and conducting surveys to analyze the current state of outcomes and develop possible new outcomes.The earlier BOK editions have led to changes in the ABET program criteria for civil engineering programs.Following the changes to accreditation criteria based on the BOK2, it was determined that the civil engineering program criteria, and thus the BOK, should be updated periodically.
