Small class sizes and the integration of a multitude of labs in the engineering curriculumprovide for a robust experience for the student in preparation for a career as an engineer. The student-centered philosophy of the institution supports student involvement and programmatic efforts thatincrease student success and learning. The College of Engineering is the largest college at Cal PolyPomona serving approximately 5,000 undergraduate and graduate students.

ABET should allow accreditation of engineering programs of the same name at the baccalaureate and graduate levels in the same department to recognize that education through a “professional” master’s degree produces an AME, an accredited “master” engineer. 3. Engineering schools should more vigorously exploit the flexibility inherent in the outcomes-based accreditation approach to experiment with novel models for baccalaureate education. ABET should ensure that evaluators look for innovation and experimentation in the curriculum and not just hold institutions to a strict interpretation of the guidelines as they see them. 4.

However, since we know very little about elementarystudents’ knowledge and reasoning about design, the first step is for us to find out the status quoof understanding in order to make suggestions on targeted instruction and progressions. Second,we are employing a cross-sectional study to document students’ development of knowledge andreasoning on design across multiple grades. Third, learning progressions focus on fundamentaland generative ideas in a discipline, and design has been identified as an important concept inengineering learning [15].

A majority of students demonstrated a uni-structural or multi-structural understanding of sustainability, which suggests that additional integration of sustainability into the curriculum may aid students in developing more expert-like knowledge.2. Students in CEE most captured aspects of environmental sustainability and intergenerational equity in their sustainability definitions, which is similar to other engineering and non- engineering students.3.
