Base Level Civil Engineering Educational Needs: A Survey Evaluating Degrees, Disciplines and Courses.

Abstract

This thesis surveyed 486 civil engineering base level managers to obtain their opinion on the type of degree and level of education they thought was necessary to do their job. Fifty-four courses were evaluated by the respondents in order to determine which courses would be most helpful to them in performing their mission. The number of respondents who had completed each course was tabulated for those courses they rated as helpful. The survey results showed that military and civilian respondents rated the need for education differently and that, overall, the proportion of master's degrees recommended to do a base level civil engineer's job was not as great as a current job list for Civil Engineering Officers shows.
