One of theadditional questions asked MET programs to list their perceived strength(s), particularly thosestrengths attracting new students. We hope these strength data provide information about whattype of manufacturing curriculum attracts students to MET programs. A question pertaining tograduate level degrees was also added to the survey, as the 2005 survey did not specifically askprograms if a M.S. in Manufacturing Engineering Technology was offered.The graduate starting salary question was modified from a two-part question where a yes/noquestion was followed by a

Students listen, take notes, and are allowed to ask questions at the end of the lecture orduring office hours. There seem to be less interest (by most of the faculty interviewed) in theprocess by which the course content is delivered during the lecture period, and more of a concernwhether the rate of delivery would allow the instructor to finish the course on time. The viewsexpressed by the faculty and the impression(s) arrived at by the author, leads one to believe thatit is highly unlikely that new more effective teaching-learning strategies would be deployed anytime soon, unless drastic measures are

To complicate mattersfurther many of our students took their introductory programming course at regional communitycolleges. It has been observed that anyone foolish enough to make a programming assignmentalmost surely risks lowering their course evaluation. Borrowing an idiom “the more computingchanges, the more the introductory programming course remains the same.” Can theintroductory programming course be changed to render it more beneficial both to the studentsand the faculty? Can we identify a rationale that allows us to create a more relevant computingexperience? In this paper we make several s regarding the computing experience for engineersand suggest

account for 65% grade. In such cases, students would treatthe portfolio seriously as a class assignment and spend more effort to create it.Comparing the Benefits and Drawbacks of Portfolio AssignmentsWhen students were required to include most of their work into the portfolio, an obvious benefitof creating the portfolios is for students to archive and review their work. This benefit wasmentioned in several studies. For example, students in Upchurch et al.’s study8 thought one ofthe main benefits of creating a portfolio was to archive assignments and to be able to review theirwork. Knott14 reported that students saw being able to keep a record of achievements and jobexperience as one major advantage of creating a portfolio. Heinricher11 reported

How will you know? Have others had success with specificmethods? If so, under what conditions? With what kinds of students? What researchexists to demonstrate these results?

thecommissions are “enabled and appointed by the Board.” ASCE was unconvinced by thisargument, because the issue at hand was about establishing policies and procedures, notconducting accreditation activities.At the meeting, ASCE’s Board members went forward with their two planned motions regardingapproval authority for the APPM, and both were approved. From ASCE’s perspective, thisdecision affirmed the Board’s sole responsibility for approving ABET policies and procedures.Program NamingWithout question, the most complex and controversial accreditation policy issue faced by theASCE task committee has been program naming. At the heart of this issue is paragraphII.E.4.c.(2) of the APPM: “If a program name implies specialization(s) for which ProgramCriteria
