For example, the technical memo case study example used an imaginary company withthe professor as the CEO to frame a worked jet engine propulsion problem to be solved insteadof simply listing the problem with no context. In the student’s mind, the problem is nowsomewhat removed from the traditional class work ‘plug and chug’, and with a little imaginationthe student can find the right mindset for satisfying the ‘place’ aspect of experiential learning.Alignment to ABET Student Learning OutcomesThe ABET criteria for accrediting engineering programs lists seven student outcomes that mustbe met by any engineering program [18

In addition, the students really enjoyed the lunch in theuniversity cafeteria.For our engineering students, they had the chance to meet with the young and future engineeringstudents and played the “professor” roles for one day as proctors and graders. More importantly,they accumulated service hours towards their course completion.From the university point of view, this was an excellent marketing opportunity. We were able toinstill in the young mind the possibility of future engineering careers, and the possibility ofcoming to our university to pursue an engineering degree. We had anecdote facts showing thatsome of the previous competing students enrolled in our engineering programs. Some

For example, ETH design projects can bethought through from the outset with embeddedness in mind by ensuring that data-gatheringin community only happens after enough trust building has taken place between thecommunity and NGO partners. In doing so, engineering teams can ensure that the quality ofthe data informing design projects is reliable and trustworthy.ETH teams can also influence what NGOs do with their organizational flexibility.

Asking ‘why’ instead of ‘how’ has resulted in a better understanding of the reasoning behind things, as well as an increased awareness of the methodology.” • “Contextual understanding is the greatest strength a senior engineering studies (EGRS) major possesses and while other Engineers are trained to problem solve with their design goals in mind, EGRS majors are taught to go beyond the straight-forward analysis and consider other, non-technical factors.

Also, a special interdisciplinary General Engineering program is offered that is not accredited. At SJSU, BS Engineering programs are treated as accredited, since all programs are designed with assessment and accreditation in mind. Rationalization for the Course Sequence: The 120 Unit Plan Discussions of reduction in units to earn a baccalaureate degree have occurred within the California State University (CSU) system since the 1990’s. Much progress was made to reduce programs in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. By 2008 approximately 81% of degree programs met the 120-unit
