Although Robotics Engineering is not recognized as a distinct engineering field byABET, the program is designed so that it can be accredited under the “General Engineering”ABET criteria. The new major is already very popular.1.0 IntroductionAs technology changes, the occasion sometimes arises when a new engineering field that eitheraddresses a new technology, combines current areas in a new way, or both, is needed. Not allnew degree programs have been a success. However, a few, such as Aerospace Engineering andComputer Science, have been exactly what the relevant industry needed at the time they wereintroduced.Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) introduced a BS degree program in Robotics Engineering(RBE) in the

Engineering, written initially without the experience ofdata collection for assessment, draw on both the ACRL information literacy standards for highereducation (referred to below simply as ACRL) as well as the information literacy standards forscience and technology (ILST8). Because the Engineering standards were written at the level ofthe performance indicators provided in the two sets of standards, they are therefore written at ahighly detailed level9. However, ABET outcomes assessment occurs at a broader level, in whichany number of detailed abilities may be brought as evidence of achievement of a single broaderoutcome. We agreed that the ABET outcomes were fairly analogous to the five ACRL standards
