Course at AAMUAbstractThe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Engineering requires thatgraduates must have demonstrated abilities listed in ABET Criteria 3(a-k). To ensure theattainment and quality of these outcome based mechanical engineering program criteria,faculty needs to develop an inclusive direct assessment process at course level to evaluatestudent learning related to the overall program outcomes. This paper describes a procedure inthe Mechanical Engineering Department at Alabama A&M University to improve teachingtechnique for outcome based courses. Assessment methods and results were discussed.Examples in teaching of Fluid Mechanics class are discussed in detail.IntroductionABET [1] requires that Mechanical

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) stipulates that a mechanical engineering program must "demonstrate that graduates havethe ability to work professionally in both thermal and mechanical systems areas including thedesign and realization of such systems." While a thermal systems design course should satisfythis requirement concerning thermal systems, surely other classes could incorporate a componentof thermal systems design and therefore satisfy the criteria. Therefore, a program would not berequired to have a thermal systems

pedagogical tools is an excellent way to enhance a student’s knowledge.Introduction Providing proper educational needs for engineering students requires an understanding of basic foundational principles and laws. Some students start learning this information through a shroud of confusion or partial understanding. In this technological society, professors are inventing ways to engage their students while maintaining the integrity of engineering education. The discussion of results from a collaboration between several universities determined that students may not always understand a topic or how it can be applied in industry. (1) Additionally, professors believe that once students matriculate through their program an increased interest

Thesecompetitions inspire students, but also allow teams to improve their designs and technology overthe years, rules that change slowly, and clear rules on what can and cannot be “reused” fromprior competitions. The result of this is that over the years, a winning Baja car from years agowould struggle to compete in today’s competition – teams have gotten much
