Thispaper details the PE O assessment process developed by the program, as well as theimplementation process that took place in the academic year 2007-2008. An interim reportsubmitted to ABET resulted in the resolution of the institutional weakness regarding ABETcriterion 3 (Assessment and Evaluation)1.The PEOs are identified in line with ABET’s Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) andsupport the EET program mission. For each PEO, a set of indirect assessment tools has beenidentified and the performance criteria for each tool have been set

(1997), which specifically focuses on engineering education,only three categories of faculty conceptions of teaching are used: ≠ Teacher-centered, ≠ Student-directing, ≠ Student-centered.Cited most frequently, the ‘student-directing’ category describes a faculty member’s desire toencourage student

importantly, the aim of the course is for students togain an understanding of how their actions and designs have a significant impact on globalsustainability efforts.Incorporating sustainability into product and process design as a design constraint is clearly anecessity as all designers must understand the limits on natural resources. As environmentalconcerns such as global warming and energy security continue to weigh on society, the nextgeneration of students will need to be prepared to solve complex sustainability challenges.
