We should hope so, but as engineering programsare under pressure to demonstrate that their students have knowledge of contemporaryissues, have an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility, have an ability towork within political/economic/social constraints, etc., the question that needs to beanswered is: Where does calligraphy fit into ABET’s Criterion 3(a-k) outcomes?Jobs ended his story by reiterating: Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in

ABET introduced the revised outcomes for EngineeringCriteria 20001 to drive changes in engineering education practice—such as promoting more sub-stantial education in communication and ethics—but many programs’ and institutions’ ap-proaches to the ABET requirements have now become codified, and administrators now exam-ine proposed changes to curriculum or pedagogy, asking whether they pose any risk to continu-ing accreditation. Programs that have been successfully placing graduates into desirable jobsmay be similarly constrained by their own success. Such factors can reinforce an institutional

For those students,the bridge program successfully advanced their math education by at least a semester.From Figure 3, the results for the bridge program students in College Algebra are muchmore varied. First, it is clear that bridge program students who did not improve theiroriginal math placement tend to not get a grade of C or better in their first attempt inCollege Algebra, as over the four years only 1 of 7 students accomplished that. As such,there may be a problem with the work ethic of students who did not improve their mathplacement, or these students have fundamentally reached their mathematical abilities andcannot complete the work in Math 116 successfully.
