Thisproject requires about 40 hours of work per student, and students work in teams of two. Only25% of the class generally elects to attempt a project, the rest preferring to take a final exam. Page 3.126.6One reason for the small fraction is that most students in the Control course are taking theDesign course concurrently and have to deal with its major project.Projects are experimental

, being astudent is very different from being a member of the faculty. I came from a research programwhere most of the Ph.D.’s entered the academic job market, and, in the past few years, mostfound academic jobs. The lessons passed on to me from classmates who entered academia,coupled with the support of my dissertation supervisor and several other faculty mentors, Page 3.559.11equipped me much better than most to enter the academic job market. Another advantage I hadwas being in a field where the number of active teaching/research programs in the US is smallenough that one can identify almost all of them fairly easily.

As anew university in the French system, it has a strong commitment to internationalism that is beingdirected from the Béthune location, and which initially focused on engineering and engineeringtechnology.

However, in order to preventaccidents, the Safety Committee is asked to report any repeat of the same unsafe act by thesame individual(s) to the laboratory supervisor or to one of the safety coordinators so thata positive corrective action can be taken.Student participation in the PAWS Program has varied. In the early years of the programapproximately fifteen to twenty PAWS Forms would be submitted during a typical quarter,most of them for equipment related situations and, in some cases, of a “nit-picking” nature.Most of the PAWS Forms were coming from the student Safety Committees.

Recall, one of the operating principlespreviously stated: "Different assessment instruments may serve different purposes; however, theset of all assessment instruments must provide adequate coverage of the stated programeducational objectives." We recognized that developing assessment instruments would becomean iterative process. We needed to determine the best assessment instrument(s) for eacheducational program objective.Accreditation Recommendation: The task force unanimously recommended that the College ofEngineering proceed with plans to have its undergraduate engineering programs reviewed
