the characteristics thatlifelong learners would possess.Mourtos7 developed a different strategy for looking at the definition of lifelong learning and itsrelationship to the ABET student outcome. In his work, he divided the ABET outcome into thetwo parts of: • recognizing the need for lifelong learning and • the ability to engage in lifelong learning.Mourtos7 developed 14 attributes to measure lifelong learning in students in both of thesecategories. These measures were then used in course design to ensure that lifelong learning wasincluded and assessed in the curriculum. The methods of assessment included student work,student course reflections, and student surveys. Mourtos7 recognizes that the 14 attributes oflifelong learning

Partial results of this analysis are presented inFigure 2 and Table 10. The random distribution of the residuals in Figure 2 shows that the linearmodel represents the data adequately. However, the results in Table 10 show that the regressionmodel with the non-zero intercept is very unstable (ill-conditioned). The instability is reflected inthe values of the 95% confidence intervals all of which are larger
