2019-20 Academic Year, the Department of Mechanical Engineering revised itsrequirements to implement a more personalized curriculum model. Instead of mandating whichtechnical courses are available for students to select to satisfy their electives requirements,students are allowed to take any upper level courses offered at George Mason University. Thebackground and discussion that led up to this decision is presented as well as an inventory ofchoices students actually selected after the change went into effect.KeywordsElectives, Curriculum, ABET CriteriaBackgroundNumerous efforts have been made to articulate what engineering students should learn to besuccessful in their future careers.

Heat Transfer Performance Based on Final Grade in Thermo I, semester comparison.In Heat Transfer, the performance of Spring 2022 Thermo I students relative to their peers is notas strong as that seen in Thermo II, however, there are a couple key points to recognize in thiscomparison. First, the sample size of students from Spring 2022 Thermo I in Heat Transfer ismuch smaller. Also, the cumulative GPA of these Spring 2022 students is lower relative to theoverall class. With that in mind, the data is telling. On the whole, Spring 2022 thermo studentsperformed worse than the

In philosophy, by contrast, everything is controversial—or almost everything. Some of the fundamental issues are still up for grabs. Newcomers to philosophy may ask themselves whether a moral theory such as Utilitarianism seems correct. However, newcomers to physics are rarely encouraged to make up their own minds about the laws of thermodynamics. 5In engineering, there is an accepted body of
