Ithas seen explosive growth since 2012 when it opened an MD-granting medical school and a yearlater acquired a second DO-granting medical school. The university is named after its benefactor,who provided a $100 million gift to strengthen the region’s engineering capacity. This giftspurred the creation of a College of Engineering that has six academic departments:Civil/Environmental Engineering (CEE), Chemical

Finally, we conducted inter-rater reliability analysis for an example assignment andfound modest improvement in agreement between assessors compared to previous evaluationmethods. We conclude with our next steps in our development and revision of these rubrics.BackgroundThe University of Delaware is a medium-sized, mid-Atlantic, public institution whose chemicalengineering program graduates on average 80 undergraduates per year. The curriculum includestwo semesters of chemical engineering laboratory, though the second semester can be replacedwith a research project. Over

It is expected that all of the remaining slots will be filledduring the spring of 2005.As these students move through their programs they will be tracked and evaluated, and theoverall program will be assessed.

In particular, manufacturing plays a significant role in the region's economy.
