Laxman, Bright, and Renshaw (2005) reflect on their ownexperiences as students in internship programs. They note that the internship taught them “to useproject development models, learn new technology, and communicate…ideas effectively withmanagement” (p. 1). At the University of Wisconsin - Madison, we have observed that female engineering Page 22.348.2students participate in internship and cooperative experiences as frequently as or more frequently

ABET Compliance Tracking System for Assessing Engineering OutcomesAbstractThere is nearly universal agreement among engineering educators that the ABET2000 rules,although very well intentioned, have unintentionally increased the workload required todocument that all ABET outcomes (a through k) are met, and that a process of continuousimprovement is in place. Although there is no magic wand to eliminate all of the documentationand record keeping, organization and technology can be used to considerably reduce the timeneeded for the ongoing self-assessment process. Towards this end, the Department of Electricaland Computer Engineering at Binghamton University has created a WEB hosted databasesystem, referred to as the ABET
