There is no minimum thresholdon the size or scope of projects that may be considered as valuable LTS experiences. As suchdimensions 5 and 6 have no optimal threshold or goal (in contrast to dimensions 1 through 4).The dimensions in table 2 simply describe the characteristics of a program. Faculty or schoolswho are starting LTS programs may find it easier to begin at the left side of these dimensions andevolve to the right.

During the fall semester prior to the 2011 spring RSAPcourse, an assessment plan was identified to provide information that would inform futureprogram design. Following approval from the Institutional Review Board, current students andthe 2008 cohort of RSAP students were identified as the sample for this study. Among current students we wanted to examine how they developed the culturalcompetencies that we identified as important in a global engineering context. To do this we hadstudents engage in a writing activity. Students were assigned to answer a brief essay question atthe beginning of the semester and then were

Students taking these BIM class gain knowledge of using BIM for projectacquisition, construction planning, and project control.One of the best ways to teach students BIM is to provide them with an opportunity to put theirhands on it. Unlike other subject matters, it is not easy to pick up the BIM skill unless they havea chance to use BIM applications. In order to understand how BIM can improve productivity inconstruction, students need to get exposed to several BIM applications and learn how to create a3D model, how to detect clashes between building components, and how to create a 4Dconstruction sequence to visually present the construction schedule.

This section is used to list any substantive changes made for the current offering of the course and cites, as appropriate, the source of the improvement (e.g., recommendations from a previous FCAR document, an action plan for addressing observed shortcomings, or minutes of a committee meeting). These documented references are valuable as they allow for each modification to be traced back to its source, thereby providing proof of their systematic utilization as input to the continuous improvement process as called for by ABET Criterion 4. By combining this information with the relevant portions of the referenced items, one can easily demonstrate how the
