the 1990’s undergraduate science programs, physics programs in particular, began to developactive learning techniques to supplement or replace traditional lecture methods. Two of the moreeffective methods developed were just-in-time-teaching (JiTT)1 and peer instruction2. Theseactive learning techniques have proven to be effective methods and have steadily been deployedin undergraduate classrooms over the past 15 years. While not limited to use in the physicalsciences, these techniques have seen much wider use in science classrooms than in engineeringclassrooms. The results of a national survey of faculty using peer instruction show 94% of usersfrom the natural sciences and only 3% from engineering3. While there is some publishedscholarly

They met annually as a working groupthrough the late 1940s and early 1950s to create a common framework for the characterizationand assessment of educational activities. Their goal was to create a common hierarchal set ofterms and language that characterized educational objectives in a uniform and repeatable way.The publication describing their early work presented the concept of three domains ofeducational activities. Those domains included the cognitive, which deals with the recognitionof knowledge and the progressive development of intellectual abilities; the affective domain,which describes changes in interests, attitudes, and values; and the

thecommissions are “enabled and appointed by the Board.” ASCE was unconvinced by thisargument, because the issue at hand was about establishing policies and procedures, notconducting accreditation activities.At the meeting, ASCE’s Board members went forward with their two planned motions regardingapproval authority for the APPM, and both were approved. From ASCE’s perspective, thisdecision affirmed the Board’s sole responsibility for approving ABET policies and procedures.Program NamingWithout question, the most complex and controversial accreditation policy issue faced by theASCE task committee has been program naming. At the heart of this issue is paragraphII.E.4.c.(2) of the APPM: “If a program name implies specialization(s) for which ProgramCriteria
