This model is an extension of the CapabilityMaturity Model (CMM) developed at Carnegie Mellon University, shown in Figure 1. The goalof the CMM is to increase the process capability, i.e., the inherent ability of a process to produceplanned results.

Students have claimed thatthe earlier classes were easier to obtain high grades in at both schools, so not being ableto include those early class grades in their final GPA puts them at a disadvantage atgraduation. Obviously, this raises fairness concerns and may lead to discomfortamongst the student body.B.

Given the new and highly rigorous emphasis on engineering andscience education in the rapidly emerging economies of nations such as China and India, wherework can be done at a fraction of the cost and where a great deal of attention is paid to dealingculturally and linguistically with others, American students must be prepared to understand,work and communicate with their peers abroad. It is therefore critical that engineers be educatedas global citizens, trained to work in global teams, and prepared to develop and manufacture fora global market.

A multi-level model to facilitate the process of going through accreditation and to help find peers couldincrease the number of LAC programs that seek accreditation. The proposed model is based on afive-level process improvement model proposed in 1995 at Carnegie Mellon University, calledthe Capability Maturity Model (CMM)9. The CMM measures an organization’s processcapability, i.e. the inherent ability of a process to produce planned results. As the processcapability increases, the results become predictable and measurable, and the most significantcauses of poor quality and productivity are controlled or eliminated
