students shouldknow more than just something about the technology, but rather, they should be able to designalternative energy systems and act upon the knowledge they had gained in the courses within theprogram. Students needed to be able to integrate knowledge, skills, and abilities to be productiveengineers in the field. Lawrence Tech felt that it was not enough to “know” about the field, but toalso be able to “do” in the energy field. With this in mind the outcomes associated with ABETaccreditation were used as a base reference. These outcomes have since been revised with theissuance of the latest ABET criteria for accrediting engineering programs.11 The followingoutcomes were further developed and deemed as adequate for each course in the
