ABET focusing more attention on issues that branched away from those normalpaths listed above. They include communication, ethics, lifelong learning, and contemporaryissues. All programs in order to become accredited had to address those ABET standards.Programs have gone through a number of 6-year evaluations and there are still issues that need tobe addressed. With this is mind, the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MSU began toinvestigate what needs a student might have in the real world and how the department couldprovide a certain amount of preparation for those needs, including ABET requirements but alsofocusing on additional student needs.A Department’s ViewOver the past years, the department focused on one critical issue in a

Assignment: Lab Experiment 2 Justification: Lab Experiment 2 requires the student to (a) set up node-client communication and (b) send the state of a sensor from the node to the client. Lab experiment 2 measures the ability to conduct experiments and perform measurements (PI_6_2), and the ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions (SO_6).SO_4: An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global

Engineering Education    Teamwork/leadership, project management, and design constraints are very important  engineering education components. This project provides an opportunity for students to explore  real-world standards and inquisitiveness for how engineering projects are conducted. Students  have the opportunity to apply their conceptual knowledge to produce solutions to safety,  environment, power, economics, ethics, sustainability, standards, and health.    Students are placed to lead and organize key project teams. The project itself is

the students believed that the project provided them an opportunity to apply theoreticalconcepts to a real-world engineering application and welcomed the new venture. They were ableto incorporate concepts they are not as familiar with, such as doing a cost analysis andconsidering legal or ethical issues in their selection. While some needed guidance on researchfor the project, students generally were able to find relevant technical specifications and usethose in analysis and comparsions. Many students thought that this was a novel approach forthem in their coursework. Some groups put forth a considerable effort to comment on thecriteria, including one group that called a township office of the town mentioned in the project tofind out what

[6]. These codes, standards, and regulations arenecessary requirements for the installation and building safety of hardware, though our projectconsists of making a prototype rather than a complete installation. The applicable codes are theInternational Building Code (IBC), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Life SafetyCode (LSC), and the Underwriter Laboratories Certification for access control standardrequirements. Otherwise, all ACM, IEEE, and applicable ethics codes are followed. Lastly, we researched the major components that make up typical control access systems,leading our team to the creation of viable design solutions. A door access control system consistsof software including at minimum: a database and management
