using videoconferencefacilities.Enriched LearningOne of the dilemmas of the new accreditation process is how do we develop graduate attributeswithout either extending the length of the program or diluting the technical content. The USLPfinesses this by placing the formal learning in a professional context. Site learning provides anenriched learning environment. The goal is to enable students to achieve the same technicalcapability as if they were studying on campus, but to add value to this through the developmentof other graduate attributes. These attributes - professionally and ethically responsible,appreciation of the social, cultural and environmental context of practice, etc. - are the sorts ofabilities that cannot be acquired by attending

should be used by all engineers in their daily work. Using these methods will lead to a sustainable future for all. The need to introduce green engineering concepts to undergraduate students has become recognized to be increasingly important.1 This need is being driven in part through the US Engineering Accreditation Commission Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria 2000. Based on this criteria chemical engineering departments must incorporate “ethics, safety and the environment” into the curricula. An additional criterion that must be satisfied is to prepare students with a broad education to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global context. In addition, there has been a large amount of

An important aspect ofworkplace realism is to expose students to the principles, projects, tools, and concerns ofindustry. This includes insight into representative projects performed in industry, how they areconducted and managed, the tools used, and concerns such as security, ethics, and privacy.Another aspect of the infusion of workplace realism is the use of examples and case studies fromindustry to provide concrete instantiations of the topics covered in class.

universities in 1915 in order to allow facultymembers the freedom to research and publish without fear of retribution 1, 2. Consequently, therewere very few, specific reasons under which a tenured faculty could be terminated. For example,ethical misconduct and termination of the department are two of the typical reasons forterminating tenured faculty; however, such incidents are very rare. Furthermore, since January 1,1994, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act has prevented colleges and universities fromimposing mandatory retirement based on age 3. Therefore, award of tenure represents a life-timecommitment for employment on the part of the university.Promotion through the ranks of Assistant, Associate, and Professor is a matter of peerrecognition

Other senior design courses have formal team projects with competitionbetween teams from different universities. Few, if any, of the teams have offices on campus orcoordinated class schedules to provide a time or place for the team to work together on theproject as a full team.

While the intent, extent and format of theminor projects change each semester, the format, structure and the evaluation process forthe major projects (which change each semester) have evolved to a more or less steadystate.
