engineering disciplines, particularly those for whomgraduate engineering education is less common for engineers practicing in the built environment,have expressed significant opposition as the Model Law requirements have been adopted. Someengineering disciplines in addition to civil and environmental engineers have begun work ondefining their bodies of knowledge, while others, particularly those with limited numbers ofpractitioners, likely will not focus on requisite bodies of knowledge for professional practice. Inthat context, and with these disparate views among engineering disciplines, planning forimplementing changes in engineering education requirements for the future continues.References (1) “Educating the Engineer of 2020, Adapting

This protocol has been revised four times since its development. Mostof these revisions were based upon the results of assessments. A major revision occurred afterthe development of the current 2007 outcomes.A variety of tools are used to assess whether our students are achieving the educational outcomesdeveloped by our department. Because none of these tools are “perfect” we often use severaltools to assess each outcome. However, we have made every effort to use the tools strategicallyto develop a plan that is effective and efficient. The assessment chair, as discussed previously, isresponsible for
