The red arrows show a plastic cover on the cylinders and the motor.In this paper, the authors report the result of their investigation on identifying a gap between thecurrent safety related issues that are being taught in a fluid power course and what should betaught. This gap can then be fulfilled by creating new components to enhance MET laboratoryexperience. The core item in this paper will be to use of survey to identity this gap and processtaken to reduce the margin of this gap. This process can be applied to ET related disciplines aswell as other disciplines in the higher education, where program improvements are needed.Goals and ScopeThe present project has two phases. The first phase is a preliminary

The programdeveloped a mapping between program criteria and computer engineering technology studentoutcomes. The mapping was not efficient and it was difficult to provide evidence to prove thatthe mapping work effectively. Therefore, the program decided to get rid of the mapping anddirectly assess the ABET program criteria (a-e).Assessing the ABET outcomes are much more efficient than mapping the ABET studentoutcomes to

set by the academic program inthe form of generic and/or discipline-specific graduate attributes. The process of achieving SLOsin a course or a research project can be viewed as a dynamic system. Just as in a dynamicsystem, the input is tracked well with feedbacks and controllers, it is conceptualized that thesame idea can be applied in assessing student learning outcomes in a course. The proposedmethod is comprised of identifying the SLOs for the course stated in the course outline as macro-SLOs and then developing lower level micro-SLOs, which contribute to individual macro-SLOs.These macro-SLOs and micro-SLOs constitute the inner and outer loops respectively of adynamic assessment system. Further, appropriate tracking of SLOs can be

With the early exposure to the idea of self-learning, the students should be able to make a smooth transition from learningeverything from the teacher to learning everything on their own. This way, the life-longlearning habit is gradually cultivated. In addition to effective learning of the material andthe life-long learning benefit, learning-through-teaching also has some positive socialbenefits4: better adjustment to the college life, heightened social membership in college,improved social skills, and a positive attitude toward college.

These are the topics we feel should be addressed:1. Security Literacy: a basic understanding of security terms2. Security risks: a basic understanding of what is at risk (confidentiality, integrity, availability) andthreat sources (such as connectivity, physical threats, etc.)3.
