Following an initiative begun by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the National Council for Examiners of Engineering and Surveying (NCEES - the organization diat prepares and administers the professional engineering examinations) adopted provisions in its model law to move toward requirements for BS+30 (bachelors degree plus 30 additional credits) by 2015 as a minimum for licensure as a professional engineer in a resolution first passed in 2006. The skill set for the next generation of engineers has three components that merit mention: 1 the ability to innovate is key to the profession, 2 the integration of knowledge between the natural sciences and social sciences/humanities is critical for solving many problems currently facing society, 3 the importance of a global perspective must always be kept in mind - global markets, global organizations, global impacts.
