Second, what impact did EC2000 have on organizational policiesand practices, educational policies and practices that helped improve student learningoutcomes? A large amount of evidence collected in the research showed that theimplementation of the EC2000 had a positive impact on engineering programs, studentexperience, and student learning.In response to the enthusiastic attention of the China’s government and society to the qualityassurance in engineering education s, the Higher Education Teaching Evaluation Center ofthe Ministry of Education, together with the Beijing University of Aeronautics andAstronautics, and Tsinghua University, have

Prior to an accreditation visit, programs should review the latest requirements toensure compliance, especially on websites and in printed materials. These often change andprograms are expected to be up-to-date or make efforts to become compliant. For example,ABET requires three types of information to be available to the public: the program educationalobjectives, the student outcomes as well as headcount data, including enrollment and the numberof graduates.

Currently, alarge Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) is underway to do just that – explicitly teach spatialskills. As part of the RCT, we examined the implementation process from the teachers’ point-of-view. Specifically, this paper analyzes teachers’ concerns when they implemented the spatial skillscurriculum in grade 7 science and mathematics classrooms.

demarcated, which makes contextual conditions important tothe analysis [8]. A case study methodology is not bound by any specific type of data but, more sothan other methodologies (e.g. historical, laboratory, etc.), requires the convergence of differenttypes of data sources for strengthening the validity and accuracy of the findings [8]. This meansthat case study research often requires multiple research methods for collecting data. One way that validity can be constructed in case study research is through the process ofcomparing and converging multiple sources of evidence, otherwise known as “triangulation” [8].For the case of Julie’s teaching and coaching, data included field notes, audio and visual materi-als (i.e. digital audio
