ABET’sdecision to formalize this priority reflects what industry has been emphasizing in its recruitingand advising for many years. Companies such as IBM and

Students spendmore time on the assignment, according to their self-statements, average from 2.9 hours in 2004to 8.7 hours in 2006.

Management and LeadershipManagement and leadership skills are developed via individual standing on theproject(s) and exercising necessary freedom of work ethics. Flexible schedule ofworking is a great advantage for the fellows. Often the fellows take advantage ofenjoying working during the weekends without hesitation.

All partners would better understand the relationship of science, math andengineering in the common engineering curriculum.Introduction to EngineeringOne product of the workshops will be to create a more common experience in introduction toengineering courses. Common course content would be developed covering such topics as ethics,communication skills, and design.As one example, consider the freshman design experience. Students in the introductoryengineering course at a four-year school will typically have a team-based design experience.However, two-year schools often do not have a similar experience in their introductoryengineering courses. This leaves students transferring from a two-year college at a
