Department Baylor University AbstractEngineers are important to society. They solve problems and develop technologies which improvepeoples’ quality of life. With that comes tremendous responsibility and trust on the part of thepublic. Engineering students preparing to enter the workplace need to understand this aspect ofengineering. How do we ensure engineers maintain this accountability? Most engineering programsare monitored by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) which providesand assurance (accountability) that a college or university meets the standards of the profession.Many engineers, upon graduation, go through the rigorous process
