leadership.Designing curriculum is one matter; rebuilding an entire program’s educational outcomes(PEOs) is another. The Department of Civil Engineering at Lawrence Technological Universitydecided to adopt the BOK2 as the new standard for their PEOs just two years before their ABETaccreditation visit in 2010.13 Although this was very progressive, accomplishing this effort waslikened to “a quest to slay the Multi-Headed Hydra.” The department encountered numerouschallenges, including faculty members who were unfamiliar with the BOK2 and Bloom’sTaxonomy, adjunct professors who were suddenly bombarded with educational psychology Page 25.1188.5terminology, debates

Many also described that they felt that the current process forlicensure was sufficient, with a combination of an exam, formal education from aBachelor’s degree, and practical experience. Some elaborated that if one can pass theexam that should be sufficient evidence of competence, and another indicated that theexam could be made more rigorous if individuals were uncertain that the currentrequirements were

One of the key mechanisms for performing thisassessment process is the collection of embedded indicators, a graded event or a portion of anassignment that directly demonstrates student accomplishment of a program outcome.19Embedded assessments are more efficient than many other methods because they rely on datathat already exists within the academic program.20 Embedded indicator

avoiding redundancies and in identifying other groups that have alreadyfound solutions to problems they might be facing. Doing so would speed up implementation ofprojects and reduce overall research-related expenses. Discovering the linkages among thesevarious frameworks and systems could aid in discovering unique pathways to complex problemsthat would go otherwise unnoticed. Reverse-engineering of the brain, for instance, could greatlyreduce the cost of computational power by greatly enhancing processing speeds of computersystems. This in turn enables developing countries access to cheaper and more efficientinformation and communication technology (ICT). Likewise, giving better access to the internetcould provide people in developing countries a
