will eventually lead to their likely adoption. Because of the success ABET has experiencedwith its outcomes-based assessment process, the future focus for ABET evaluators will continueto be on attainment of the Student Outcomes (SO’s) enumerated in the new proposed criterion 3.The paper suggests ways to measure and evaluate attainment of SO’s using both direct andindirect measures. The final part of the paper will focus on the Program Educational Objectives(PEO’s) of criterion 2, and their relationship to both the SO’s and the institutional goals.KeywordsAccreditation, ABET Criteria.IntroductionIn the mid-1990’s, ABET developed a new set of criteria (called EC2000) for accreditingengineering degree programs.

Similar to the concept oforgan donation- every person would have the right to decide if their records are kept privatebetween themselves and their doctor(s) or if they can be used as part of a database to benefitfuture patients. With 95% of American adults supporting organ donation, there would mostlikely be a high percentage of people willing to participate in the use of medical databases [15].In order for these databases to be most efficient and beneficial it is important to be as userfriendly as possible. With millions of patient’s data compiled into a single database it will bedifficult to sift through all of it.

All loads will be suspended from this eyebolt, and there must be a clear space directly below it to allow loads to be attached. Loads will be attached using an S-hook, and, if necessary, a 10 mm diameter metal rod extension. If, during loading, the bridge twists in such a way as to cause the bridge to touch the rod at any point other than the eyebolt, thus lending additional support, the bridge will be disqualified. 6) If the maximum vertical depth of the bridge, from the highest point in its structure to the lowest point, exceeds 25

Second, what impact did EC2000 have on organizational policiesand practices, educational policies and practices that helped improve student learningoutcomes?

understand students’engineering identity development.” Thus, we feel this validated instrument is a strong fit for ourongoing study. In addition to Godwin’s identity instrument, the students were asked a series ofquestions in key theme areas, including the decision to enter engineering, prior mentoringexperiences and educational experiences. Topics queried are as follows: 1. To what extent did the following factors influence your decision to major in engineering: Parent(s), Sibling, Other relative, Friends, Guidance counselor, Extra-curricular activities, Career interests, Teachers, Potential future earnings, Other. In this case the responses were on a 5-point Likert scale from “Very important” = 1 to “Not at all important” = 5. 2
them. Retrieving data using the Arduino kit was relatively simple;however, data retrieval during resistor capacitor discharge was more challenging as students oftenhad to add more resistors to increase the time constant of the voltage drop. It was educational todetermine the selection of resistors required to collect the desired number of data points over atime period. The difficulty was in analyzing the data using Excel and compiling the handcalculations. The grades for the labs were a broad range from 50 to 96 with averages in the low tomid 80’s and standard deviation of 7 to 11. Data analysis and write up were where most pointswere lost.

responsibilities, and reward them for their contributions, or,would we want to fire them? We use weekly work logs, group reports in class, peer evaluations,and communications as evidence. Interactions with students are important as well – faculty andproject managers take into account how receptive students have been to comments, how self-motivated students have been to take on tasks, do students and groups complete work on time,and what level of task(s) students have taken responsibility for. A main lesson learned forstudents with respect to this aspect of the course is to take ownership. For some, it means takingon leadership or positions that are outside of their comfort zones. For others, it means steppingaside to let others do their share of the work
