Typically, the preparationfor these visits and accompanying reports could be generated quickly and often by a singleindividual. The data that was collected was often referred to as “bean counting” as the number ofcredits in mathematics, physics, design, thermodynamics, etc. were simply counted and enteredon a form. The evolution of the ABET 2000 Criteria has forced mechanical engineeringdepartments to reconsider the age-old methods of evaluating the education that is provided totheir students.According to Lohmann1, one of the most important pieces of the process is to gather largeamounts of data from a
