Perhaps firefighters are prepared for the variety ofproblems in the field, but they do not have the capability to react at the moment and respondappropriately.Simulation (e.g. virtual reality simulation) can provide a safe, ethical, and cost-effectivealternative to practice in certain real fire scenes. This can serve in two ways: it can give a betterunderstanding of new trainees’ behavior and how can be shifted to safe behavior and offertrainees the opportunity to have effective and component training. By using simulations ofvirtual buildings with virtual fire environments, trainees can interact with a changingenvironment simulate various work-related procedures and/or judge whether a building design

capstone sequence is an obvious bellwether coursechoice. While individual projects vary in scope, these courses potentially support all of theABET outcomes a through k. In particular, these courses are typically assessed for outcomes a,b, c, d, e, g, i and k. Outcome i, focused on ethical and social responsibilities, is often addressedvia the nature of the project itself. Some projects have a clear link to social issues, for instanceprojects done during 2006 – 2007 and 2005 – 2006 related to bio-fuels and physicalrehabilitation devices. Ethical issues related to design (minimizing risk of injury, etc.) are also apart of the course. Assessment of this outcome is done by direct measures (faculty observingstudent discussion or the project’s written

and Assessing ABET “Soft Skills” in the Technical CurriculumAbstractTAC-ABET accreditation requires that each program develop program outcomes that embraceABET criteria 2a to k. Several of those, such as diversity, internationalization, and ethics, areoften referred to as the soft skills. Generally students exposure to these items is through theirelective (or required) courses in the humanities and social sciences. However, ABETaccreditation also requires that the achievement of the outcomes be assessed and evaluated.Obtaining direct evidence of achievement of the outcomes by the students can be problematicalas the other departments may not be doing assessment.

Concepts such as teamwork, ethics,responsibility, self-confidence, and job satisfaction are reinforced on a daily basis. In addition,students gain a respect for working within a budget along with the value of a positive attitude inthe work environment. Students have also learned from the mistakes that they have committedwithin this service-learning partnership. These mistakes allow the students to grasp theconsequences of their actions
