The curriculum was developed rigorouslybased on the needs of the industry to build the manufacturing workforce. An effective ABETassessment process will help build a curriculum that meets the standards necessary to preparegraduates to enter industrial manufacturing fields in the global workforce. A curriculumdevelopment and assessment committee (CDAC) was formed in the first year the program waslaunched. The assessment plan includes direct and indirect assessment measures for studentoutcome attainments. It targets not only program-level outcome attainment but also course-leveloutcomes.

Both architecture and architectural engineering studentsare required to take this course. The course requirements are somewhat different for the twomajors, and often less than a quarter of the class is AE students. We have come to call this theComprehensive Semester because it not only requires the use of information learned throughoutthe curriculum, but also incorporates a studio, a technology seminar, and a management courseinto a tightly knit whole. Throughout the semester, all students integrate architectural design withmechanical and structural systems design

Most importantly, case studies can make classroom learning an enjoyable experience.The use of case studies in technical education, however, has been somewhat limited. Recentlyand after recognizing the importance of case studies, engineering and technology educators aretrying to follow their counterparts in other fields. As a result, there is a growing need andinterests in work-based case studies for engineering and technology education.IV.
