He notes that the success of UMBC’sprograms are founded upon a shared vision that reflect the common values of all involved parties[26]. For any institution, including UMBC, the development of this shared vision requiredsignificant time, financial support, passion, safe space for difficult conversations, strategicplanning and detailed documentation [27]. Deeper investigation into UMBC’s academic historyrevealed that it was not always a highly regarded institution with prestigious accolades. In thebeginning, it was a school that lacked direction, with low expectations for and from its attendees.Given these humble beginnings, one could argue that the

The non-harmonized criteria are likely to require more frequent updates,because they more closely reflect changing industry needs. Yet any such changes require theengineering member societies to achieve a consensus on a single set of student outcomes(Criterion 3), a single set of curriculum requirements (Criterion 5), and a single set of facultyqualifications (Criterion 6) that meet the needs of all programs and

It was followed closely by Management Studies with special reference to humanrelations in industry. Whether or not these studies belong to what traditionalists call liberalknowledge is a moot point. But they certainly broadened their studies. Moreover,industrialists tended to support this approach to liberal studies and in both the US and UKhave continually complained to this day that graduates are inadequately prepared for industry.Korte has shown that graduates themselves wish they had been better prepared for their initialexperience of industry [26].Back in 1963 Andrews and

This approach is reflected in the ACRL’s Framework for InformationLiteracy for Higher Education [4].IL instruction for graduate students takes various forms. It can be integrated into a graduatecourse or delivered as a stand-alone workshop. It can also be offered as a one-shot session or as aseries of sessions. The latter offers the opportunity to establish a relationship with students,compared to the one-shot session, and appears to have a much greater impact on studentretention [9, 10].
