In 2006 the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) presented theConcept of Academic Advising 29 as comprising curriculum, pedagogy and learning outcomes.This Concept includes a basis in developmental advising as well as advising as teaching, and ispart of an overall effort in the advising profession to view and practice advising as part of theacademic mission of the institution. In particular, the Concept states: Academic advising is integral to fulfilling the teaching and learning mission of higher education. Through academic advising, students learn to become members of their higher education community, to

We typically have four judges and each judge spends about 20 minutes witheach student project. This gives the judges time for more in-depth questions and a betteropportunity to understand the design and implementation of the project.In the spring of 2013 we refined the rubric which the judges used and tied it to ABET outcomesfor the program.

this shift, the first concernsabout the lack of professional skills of the new graduates appeared in public opinion, concernsthat have strongly increased during the 1990s3. Sciences, in particular physical sciences andengineering sciences, have become the essential component of the engineering curriculum,giving a higher status to analytical courses than intuitive and practical-oriented courses4. Thispredominance of sciences in engineering seems to be a barrier to developing the new set of skillsthat new engineers need, now that industry has become the main employer and an importantsupporter of engineering schools, more so than federal funds5.
