engineering was found by the authors’review of ABET criteria.Reviewing the guidelines specified by the Accreditation Board Engineering Technology(ABET), one notices a correlation between these guidelines and music. In the ABET2004-2005 criteria for “Accrediting Engineering Programs,” the “Program Criteria forElectrical, Computer, and Similarly Named Engineering Programs” section states in“Criterion 3. Program Outcomes and Assessment” specifically that “Engineeringprograms must demonstrate that their graduates have: (a) an ability to apply knowledgeof mathematics, science, and engineering; (b) an ability to design and conductexperiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; (c) an ability to design a system,component, or process to meet desired

Theintent was to allow US participants in the SEFI meeting, and others, to take advantage ofan additional conference while in Europe. With travel money becoming increasinglyscarce in universities, it is important for participants in international conferences to beable to demonstrate the cost effectiveness of the expenditure.“Global Changes in Engineering Education” was the title of the ASEE post -conference,and included as its main topics.

embedded within our research design.Because engineering education researchers are also educators, the asymmetric relationshipbetween teacher and student can impact the quality of the interview data. For instance, there issomething potentially problematic about having faculty members interview students about thedifficulty they have speaking with faculty. While there may be other methods for facilitatingaccess, having students interview other students enabled us to tap more directly into studentexperiences.1 We also realized, through the course of this pilot study, that we were inviting ourstudent researchers to engage in a practice that was contiguous with a mode of interactionfamiliar to students—talking to friends about the challenges they were
most crucial to request from instructorsbeyond those supported and enforced by the university.A. Lenses This study utilizes several lenses during data synthesis: Universal Design for Learning,ableism, and bottlenecks. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is the practice of designinglearning to be accessible to all (or most) students by removing barriers from the learningenvironment [11]. UDL recognizes that while it is unlikely individual accommodations can beeliminated entirely, application of UDL principles can significantly decrease the need forindividual accommodations. Ableism is a series of structures, norms, and interactions rooted inmarginalizing those with mental, physical, or other perceived differences from the non

deficiency in generative thinking at the systemlevel in students. The lack of courses where students are challenged to integrate all the knowledge they Page 26.1271.6have acquired during their undergraduate engineering career, and the high volume of demand ofengineers with system integration knowledge has led some engineering schools to developgraduate programs that educate engineers on how to incorporate all their engineering backgroundknowledge, and experience in the practical development of engineering systems. For example,the Massachusetts Institute of Technology offers a graduate system engineering program thatemphasizes the importance of
idealized systems to which thebasic textbook principles can be applied. This modeling process bridges the gap betweentextbook theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom, and the application of this knowledge tosolving problems in practice. “Research confirmed in the 90s that students learn more bygrappling with open-ended problems, like creating a computer game or designing an alternativeenergy system, than listening to lectures”1. For example, in the area of structural engineering,the process of defining a system involves defining the system geometric model, material model,load model, connection model, boundary and support conditions, and the analysis model. In atextbook problem, all of the above are explicitly given to the student who simply

Even though ABET has revamped its own structures toinclude and actively involve minorities in the accreditation process, they have to go a littlefurther. In view of the power and respect bestowed in ABET by Engineering Colleges, ABETmust include diversity as part of the core requirements for accreditation.NSF does require diversity as one of the broader impacts of NSF-sponsored research. It has alsodirectly sponsored some research in minority issues in higher education.
