). These outcomes are specific abilities, knowledge areas, skills, and attitudes that allstudents should possess upon completion of the undergraduate engineering program. ABETreviewers look through self-evaluations and assessments for these outcomes. Engineering andTechnology programs conduct annual reviews to determine which outcomes are met by thecourses in their respective curricula. If a specific outcome is not met, faculty is required todevelop and implement plans for improvement. These plans may include development of newcourses or modifications to existing courses. Programs must also document changes andeventually show that the changes resulted in improvements.Lessons LearnedAccording to the 2006–2007 Criteria for Accrediting Engineering

Each innovation places new demands on theexisting system into which they are introduced. The engineering manager is often asked to provide the needed leadership in these innovation-basedprojects because of this individual's technical expertise and training. Technical expertise in (1) the specificinnovation and (2) project management in general is not enough.

The opportunity to put their ideas into practice came with an Advanced Research ProjectsAgency-funded Technology Reinvestment Project grant awarded to the Engineering Research Center forPlasma-Aided Manufacturing.

Moreover, a number of privately owned universities were established, and most ofthem offer the engineering degrees in various disciplines. As a result, the overall enrollment capacity inengineering programs has been increased almost 45% since 1987.[4] 1996 ASEE Annual Conference Proceedings Page 1.41.1 In
