Courses for the BREG master’s degree will be offeredin the late afternoon and early evening so people employed full time can enroll. Besides cateringto an underserved clientele with the non-thesis option, we believe the non-thesis master’s willbolster the thesis-option master’s degree by increasing enrollment in our graduate-level courses,thus making the overall program more viable.We are also exploring the possibility of obtaining EAC-ABET accreditation of the master’sdegree.

This approach echoesthe “pour it in” model referred to by Smith were he states: Consider the most common model of the classroom-based teaching and learning process used in engineering education in the past fifty years (and maybe currently?). This model ... is a presentational model where, as one pundit quipped, “the information passes from the notes of the professor to the notes of the students without passing through the mind of either one.”1Using this model of education, students are simply expected to “know” how to use this “poured Page 14.269.2in” material to synthesize

With a current estimate of enrollment of 100students per annum, Senior Design Project is a required design course for all students. Thiscourse is taken during the last semester of the student’s senior year. In this course studentscombine, apply, and verify, in the form of a project, what they have learned throughout theircollege education. Thus, it is a “hands-on” and “minds-on” course and requires the students todevelop, design, build, and test a product, commonly, a device, presumably to be

One example is the scoringprocedure used for exams in some decision analysis programs. Under this grading scheme,students take a multiple-choice exam, but rather than simply marking which answer they think iscorrect, they must assign a probability to each possible answer. The exam is then scored with aspecial scoring rule, under which students’ best strategy is to
