Some people believe that CQIis not a completely new concept, but just a label that may not be as successful as theyclaim. However, the requirement explicitly prescribed by EC2000 is a novelty. ABETnot only requires engineering program to record what teachers teach students, but alsowhat students actually learn. However, this paradigm and conceptual transformation isunlikely to occur without policy changes [14].(2) The relationship between assessment form and accreditation effectivenessSince the implementation of the EC2000 reform in ABET, there have been somechanges in engineering education within colleges and universities.

A statistical report from theNational Center for Education Statistics in 2013 [3] shows that nearly one-third of STEMstudents change their majors and based on cultural belonging [4], [5]. A study on the cognition ofthe human mind and specifically the conation; or the students’ willingness, drive, anddetermination; reports that an introductory engineering course has the potential to activatestudents’ conation, but that there is no significant evidence that such a course impacts students’conation [6].The orientation course discussed here was designed to achieve several goals

The project parameterswere designed with the following general goals in mind:• The project should be reasonably complex and manufacturing quality-sensitive, but in a compact size suitable for most college manufacturing facilities and budgetary concerns.• The final solution should result in a physical device that is primary mechanical in nature.• The project should impart critical lessons regarding the importance of tolerancing, prototyping, and conducting a thorough failure

One way to add entrepreneurship into education is by addingcourses, but incorporating practical courses may be difficult with the current curriculum.Entrepreneurship can also be integrated into existing engineering courses through adding moreprojects, bringing real-world examples into the classroom, and lecturing less [8].Many components of the entrepreneurial mindset have been identified through the years, butengineering educators have emphasized three main components: curiosity, connections, andcreating value (3Cs
