over a million dollar economic impact per employee.Accreditation ImpactsThe EET program was facing a TAC of ABET program review in the fall of 2007. Thatprospect allowed a heightened focus on several key accreditation factors. Specifically, thefaculty member of the team recognized an opportunity to note specifics on how EETalumni were utilizing the required attribute components of program objectives (the “a-k”list) on the job. Additionally, job responsibilities for alumni make strong arguments thatthe program’s longer term educational objectives are being met. Finally, the encounterswith alumni offered a way to assess how the professional society mandated outcomes (inour case, the IEEE’s outcomes for Electrical/Electronic(s) Engineering

were ableto see the challenges facing engineers in conducting simulation studies.IntroductionModeling and simulation play a crucial role in almost all disciplines in science and technology.In essence, modeling is the practice of developing a simplified representation of a system1.Simulation, on the other hand, is an imitation of the operation of the system over a period oftime2. Although until the 80’s simulation was not popular due to the cost and long processingtime of computing resources, today, simulation is considered an attractive and cost-effectivemethod to perform systems analysis1.Simulation may or may not be an appropriate tool, depending on the situation. For example,simulation is a useful tool to verify analytical solution, study

They then integrate them into a prototypechassis design, which is then fabricated.
