Not Page 12.996.2all civil engineering technology students will work in the surveying field and in fact few of themmay actually become surveyors. Furthermore, students in an architectural engineeringtechnology degree program also take this class and may be less likely to work in the surveyingindustry. Nevertheless, anyone involved in the construction and design industry likely usesinformation gathered by surveying. It is thus important for those not only in the surveying fieldbut also those who use information from

Oneof the biggest challenges in implementing the new requirements at many institutions has beeninvolving all faculty members in the process. At Milwaukee School of Engineering, a year-endAssessment Workshop was created with the goal of increasing faculty involvement in assessmentof program objectives and outcomes. The format and results of the workshop are discussed inthis paper.BackgroundThe TC2K requirements of the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of ABET placehigh importance on the continuous improvement process.

Capacitive touch sensing is themost widely used, but there are resistive and reflective means as well. Low cost, simple circuitry,easy to implement and simple to program were the four factors considered for classroom use. Ameans of implementing the touch sensing in an application was another factor. The result was akiosk to be assembled and programmed by Electrical Engineering Technology
