. While there are several prominent methods for dissecting and analyzing a program ofstudy, in Mechanical Engineering two methods dominate the discipline. Accreditation drivenefforts, such as ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology), take a large scaleapproach addressing entire curricula and generating large amounts of data. The structure of theaccreditation review imposes external drivers of interaction and investment and the focus inthese efforts is often on outcomes rather than instructional delivery and process. Otherstructured efforts, such as SUCCEED (Southeastern University and College Coalition forEngineering Education), focus on staging student learning and developing connections andtransitions between classes
