andpresentation skills, more design using CAD, general project management skills, and continuedemphasis on working in teams.ConclusionsCooperative education can be a very useful tool for the ABET assessment process. It provides anindependent measurement of student’s performance. In our opinion, the results that we havecollected demonstrate that usefulness. While certainly this is not the only measure that a programwould want to use, it is a very helpful indicator. Page 11.1380.10

respondents initially filled out a 20-minute survey, among which were assessments of the three forms of self-efficacy. They thenfilled out a comparable post-survey one year later (as third year students) during which thoseselecting co-op would have completed their first co-op placement. At the completion of thestudy, there will be an attempt to determine whether the participation in not only one but two co-ops can reverse a trend, especially among women undergraduates, to drop out of engineeringbecause of their lack of confidence in continuing their concentration in engineering studies.IntroductionThis study is part of a larger research project, supported by a National Science FoundationResearch on Gender in Science and Engineering program grant

Leadership Roles: Faculty can discuss leadership during any discussion about thedifferent leadership roles students will assume in the corporate world while working onvarious engineering projects. When discussing the future leadership roles engineering andtechnology students will assume throughout their careers, faculty can help to makestudents aware of the importance of leadership and its effects on employees, the projectand the organization.2. Teamwork Assignments: When students are given group assignments that require themto work together, the instructor can use the opportunity to discuss teambuilding and otheraspects of leadership.3. Other opportunities for faculty to raise the issue of leadership in their courses

This information is beingused in curricular reform projects around campus to both illuminate areas forreform and to measure the impact of changes on co-op student performance. TheUniversity of Cincinnati has been awarded a $1 million US Department ofEducation Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education [FIPSE] grantto be used for the Development of a Corporate Feedback System for Use inCurricular Reform.Using aggregated data from employer assessments of cooperative educationstudent work performance to measure curricular effectiveness forms a cornerstoneof outcomes based assessment at the University of Cincinnati.

YES student cohorts areexposed to the benefits that each experience offers through the YES Distinguished SpeakerSeries (speakers include an entrepreneur and a researcher), the YES Symposium, and interactingwith each other. For example, a Research Path student may be interested in how tocommercialize a research project or create a start-up company; or an Entrepreneurship/InternshipPath student may be interested in starting a business but realizes that pursuing a graduate degreewill provide specialization in the field. A similar educational approach (joining co-op withundergraduate research experiences) with engineering students at the University of Puerto Ricoat Mayagüez (UPRM) has

The SIIRE project addresses NSF’sprogrammatic goal by integrating external (industry supported) intern or co-op experiences ofstudents with ongoing on-campus engineering research activities to provide a guided pathway toa graduate engineering degree. The requested scholarship funds defray student educational costsduring their sophomore, junior, and senior years of undergraduate study and during 1.5 years oftheir graduate studies.The SIIRE program addresses the following objectives:1. To provide underrepresented and financially needy undergraduate students with information on the benefits and opportunities associated
