Many programs looked towards “double-counting,” essentially the practice of meeting multiple General Education (GE) requirements within a single course or within major courses. The College of Engineering (CoE) at SJSU elected to move more upper division GE Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) into major courses, with the expectation to simultaneously satisfy all GE requirements, ABET requirements, and unit caps while graduating a technical person. The CoE offers eight programs (Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Industrial & Systems Engineering), which are accredited by the Engineering

Citing poor presentation skills of others as well as their own successes with using the AEapproach, twenty-seven participants expressed that they think it would be beneficial to spread AEto companies and research labs. They believe that AE would improve presentations by makingthem more engaging, more effective, and easier to understand and follow. Based on theirexperience in the aerospace and automotive industries, five participants did express that theythought AE might not be the best method for presentations with great technical depth; however,they still thought that AE would be better than the traditional method in more general contexts.

A studentwho strongly identified as an engineer, and who had never flown on an airplane or left the U.S.,traveled to China. This aerospace engineering student wrote about an image taken from thewindow of the plane: “I was a little worried before the plane took off from Dulles. What if Ihated it? Then what would I do with my life? Would I still want to be an aerospace engineer? Allmy fears vanished as soon as the plane took off.

Eightof the programs were accredited by ABET’s EAC; one was Computing Association Commission(CAC)-accredited; 12 were non-accredited.The admissions criteria for majors in the CEAS differed from those in the College of Arts andSciences. These differences were reflected in the average high school GPA of the first-year students who matriculated into various majors, which ranged from a high of 3.90 in Aerospace Engineering to a low of 3.28 in Geography (based on the fall 2008 class).
