Although this item is usually very hard to assess, the students have shown that they worked professionally together, and they gave credit to every source that they relied on in solving the given problem.(g) an ability to communicate effectively. The students have shown their communication abilities and skills through the written proposal, written final report, poster presentation and the oral presentations.(h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a globaland societal context.

As we ponder the future of higher education’s role inEngineering Management, it may be helpful to start with a baseline of those courses that form agraduate program. An initial cut at the Engineering Management Body of Knowledge wasprovided by Peterson and Humble.3 They sampled 28 programs of higher learning ranked bynumber of students and examined their graduate program of study. They indicated that althoughtheir data was incomplete patterns began to emerge. They generated two lists of

We should hope so, but as engineering programsare under pressure to demonstrate that their students have knowledge of contemporaryissues, have an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility, have an ability towork within political/economic/social constraints, etc., the question that needs to beanswered is: Where does calligraphy fit into ABET’s Criterion 3(a-k) outcomes?Jobs ended his story by reiterating: Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in

MethodologyThere has been some debate in the educational community about the fact that the results ofrandomized control trials (RCT's) seem to be having little beneficial flow-on effect toeducators' practices in the classroom 17. Scriven 18 has written that, "there are many issues ofgreat importance in education ...where it is ethically and/or practically impossible to useRCT's" whilst Wolfe and Crookall 19 maintain that classically acceptable experimentalresearch, as used in the physical sciences, is impossible to duplicate in realistic educationalsituations.A problem with randomized, control trial, experimental methods is that in many situations it isnot possible for some of the method's criteria to be met.
