1 INTEGRATING MANAGEMENT BREADTH IN CIVIL ENGINEERING EDUCATION By Paul S. C hinowsky 1 Abstract: The beginning of the 21 st century is witnessing an awareness that the civil engineering industry has become a globa l industry. The rapid increase in foreign ownership of firms in the United States together with the globalization of economic markets is reminding professionals that they must be aware of global events before they impact local operating conditions. In response to these developments, university programs must begin to br oaden their focus to include subjects that addr ess new economy realities. Specifically, the time has arrived to expose students to management topics such as entrepreneurship, financial management, and global economics. If the civil engineering industry desires to evolve into a new economy business, then it will require individuals who are as comfortable with the financial and technology components of the business as they are with design or construction fundamentals. , Associate Member KEYWORDS Management, curriculum, education, organizations, professional development 1 Associate Professor, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332-0355, 404-894-8269, 404-894-5418 (fax), pchinow@ce.gatech.edu
