至少在过去的十年里，工程学、土木工程，以及作为土木工程中的一个专业的结构工程，都表明并继续认识到，正在出现的需要提高寻求成为执业专业工程师的年轻工程师的准备水平。土木工程专业目前的共识是，对广泛和深入知识的需求日益增长，应该要求典型的年轻结构工程师拥有硕士学位或同等学历。本文主要研究土木工程领域结构工程专业硕士研究生的培养准备工作。它遵循了ASCE土木工程知识确定体系中使用的大部分方法，并建立在ASCE研究的基础上，以解决年轻工程师在土木工程一个专业领域本科课程之外的准备部分。这项研究的目的是为年轻的工程师建立一个知识框架，通过使用布鲁姆的分类法对许多结构工程主题中的每一个主题的预期成就水平进行评估，来确定和量化该专业的需求。本研究应用一种改进的德尔菲法从结构工程专业的成员那里获得关键信息。这些结果提供了一个知识框架，将对寻求更好地确保未来年轻结构工程师在硕士水平上做好准备的几个小组有用。
For at least the last decade, engineering, civil engineering, along with structural engineering as a profession within civil engineering, have stated and continue to recognize an emerging need for raising the bar of the preparedness of young engineers seeking to become practicing professional engineers. The present consensus of the civil engineering profession is that the increasing need for broad and in-depth knowledge should require the typical young structural engineers to have a master’s degree or equivalent. This paper focuses on the preparedness of master’s-level graduates in the structural engineering area within the civil engineering field. It follows much of the methodology used in the ASCE body of knowledge determination for civil engineering and builds on this ASCE study to address the portion of the young engineer’s preparation beyond the undergraduate program for one specialty area of civil engineering. The objective of this research was to create a framework of knowledge for the young engineer which identifies and quantifies the needs of the profession by an assessment of the expected level of achievement in each of a number of structural engineering topics using Bloom’s taxonomy. This study applied a modified Delphi method to obtain the critical information from members of the structural engineering profession. The results provide a framework of knowledge that will be useful to several groups seeking to better ensure the preparedness of the future young structural engineers at the master’s level.
