: Instructors are directed to the ABET Compliance Tracking System (ACTS) site to find: The list of performance criteria that are assigned to their course(s) The assessment form and directions on how to complete the assessment This is typically done at the pre-semester faculty retreat and continues into the first department meeting of the semester if necessary. This ensures that every instructor is aware of what and how he/she needs to assess. B. During Semester: All instructors are reminded that they need to document their course’s assigned performance criteria and to enter this information into ACTS. These reminders are made periodically at bi-weekly faculty meetings. C. End of Semester: Instructors complete assessment

Since much of the previous research hasfocused on secondary levels, it is time that we take what has been learned and begin to determineat which stage(s) in the students’ development conceptions and beliefs are being generated. Forexample, if we know that female and minority students are shying away from engineering whenthey come out of high school because of lack of understanding about the profession, then it isvital to determine at what point they formulate these beliefs and implement
