demonstrate non-technical student outcomes, including those pertaining to ethics,global issues, economics, and understanding of environmental and societal contexts.2When the objective is to improve student writing skills (“learning to write”), an integrated, orwriting across the curriculum (WAC) approach to teaching technical writing is consideredfavorable over the alternative of isolated, stand-alone communication courses that oftendecontextualize writing.3-4 In the integrated approach, communication instruction and practice isdistributed throughout the curriculum and embedded in technical courses, well beyond thestandard inclusion of laboratory reports in laboratory classes. Such an approach also maximallyleverages the writing process towards the

Communication instruments include technical memoranda, posterpresentations, oral presentations, laboratory reports, proposals, and senior design reports. Inaddition to text elements, the use of tables and graphics also are addressed. Advice tables,annotated sample assignments and grading rubrics are being developed for each instrument toassist students in their work and facilitate consistency in instruction and assessment acrossmultiple instructors teaching different course sections. Within each of the seven programs, specific courses within all four years are

With the university’s doors yet to open, they had the time and space to plan. It was inthe course of designing from scratch an introductory course in experimental psychology that thegroup came up with PSI. Pressed to be experimental in form as well as content, the group beganconsidering how their knowledge of behaviorist principles could be applied to the

For educators, this is often a classroom inwhich they teach. Action research

civil ethics. A good engineer first had to bea good citizen and responsible for the civil society.However, this separation of Confucian liberal learning from technique may also bring challengesto engineering education practice in contemporary China. On one hand, Confucianism stillimpacts Chinese thinking and actions in personal and professional life. On the other hand, somefundamental ideas and assumptions embedded in the Western engineering education posechallenges to Confucian traditions of teaching and learning which are remain evident in Chineseclassrooms. For example, it remains unclear how team-based, active, and student-centeredpedagogies in Western engineering education can be adapted for “Confucian classrooms” and“Confucian learners

“program evaluator competency model” to specify the competencies thatsuccessful program evaluators exhibit. This model includes six major categories: technicallycurrent, effective at communicating, interpersonally skilled, team-oriented, professional, andorganized.17In comparison, CEEAA accepted most of the same qualifications/competencies provided byABET, including six basic qualifications. For instance, similar to ABET, CEEAA requires“accreditation experts” to “know scientific, technological, and engineering advances in their ownfields”, “have abundant teaching, administrative, and working experience”, “have disciplinarybackground necessary for accreditation”, and “have strong working, organizational, andcommunicative competencies.”17 However
