To realize such goals, especially for the education of Millennials and Generation Z,faculty need to have deeper understanding of “our” students. The characteristics of Generation Zmay include that they are the most diverse generation, grew up with smart devices, demonstratemore current online behaviors, expect modern experience but take tech for granted, are morelikely to try and figure out problems on their own first, etc. [1-5]. Such understanding will enablefaculty to develop more confidence

Thus, it is likely you willneed to provide samples of student work related to assessment performance indicators (sorted bystudent outcome) as well as samples of student work that document inclusion of discipline-specific topics (sorted by course). Most accreditation bodies do not have requirementsassociated with the format of student work samples (electronic versus paper). However, carefulorganization is

that time, these programs put a minimal emphasis on what was known as “softskills”. These education deficiencies were corrected mainly through feedback from employers and by theaccreditation criteria from ABET. The traditional accreditation criteria started addressing these issues and thecurrent TC2K criteria from TAC of ABET has stressed the emphasis on the abilities of graduates tocommunicate, work in teams, understand and value lifelong learning and ethical issues, thus helping to closethe gap between the student’s preparation at graduation and “the real world”. Furthermore, colleges anduniversities have intensified their student support services, offering workshops and similar activities forstudents to learn how to write resumes, dress

balanced. For example, it may be enough to treat a topic such as linear circuit design only once but topics that relate to ethics or reliability might be better covered by many small examples throughout the program. The steady lean state is reached when the mapping, analysis and change become routine maintenance tasks. This does not mean that we have the best lean system possible. It is only a local optimization.At this point, it is worth asking how the process differs from that used for ABETdocumentation. The simplest answer is that the lean process is the next step. While theABET (or any ISO-9000) process demonstrates conformance to realize continuousimprovement towards generalized goals, a lean process attempts to

social issues surrounding the useof information and accesses and use information ethically and legally.The need for improved teaching of information literacy skills has been well-documented in thelast two decades. Typical of many studies, Seamans’5 survey of First-Year students shows thattheir strategies for locating information are underdeveloped. Undergraduates tend to performresearch not as exploration, but to garner support for a predetermined viewpoint. The studentssurveyed used one keyword when given an information-retrieval task, and used no Booleans,expressing reservations about their use as an unfamiliar concept. The survey also found thatstudents do not see libraries and library personnel as part of information seeking.Lecki and

To compare thetwo exams, an evaluation of topics will be done. Performance on topical scores has to beanalyzed cautiously as the assessments occur at two different points in the curriculum and adirect comparison may lead to inaccurate conclusions.Correlation of GPA and AssessmentGPA is not a direct indicator of a student’s comprehension of the material taught. Other itemsfactor into a student’s GPA such as one’s work ethic. In fact the need of assessment directlyrelates to the deficiency of GPA in assessing student knowledge. In
