theclass. The quantitative parameter identified to be the most closely related to this criterion was therate of success of students in the subsequent courses following statics (e.g., strength of materials,dynamics).Step 2: AnalysisA root-cause analysis was subsequently undertaken once the two quantitative criteria wereidentified. This analysis led to the following conclusions: 1. The high non-completion rate is likely linked to: a. The pace of the course, which may not correspond to the preparedness of the students entering the course. b. Inconsistencies in the grading practices of instructors teaching the course. c. Instructor-centric pedagogies. 2. The inadequacies of students’ statics knowledge and
]. ABET describes student outcomes as a collection of skills that engineering graduates mustpossess for success in the professional field. ABET has recently shifted from the earlier (a) to (k)scheme to a new (1) to (7) classification of student outcomes. However, this paper follows theprevious scheme, as the new one is still in a state of flux in terms of adaptation. Targeting moreaccurate and meaningful assessment, the Mechanical Engineering faculty at our department helda long series of deliberations, and sub-divided the ABET students outcomes (SOs) intoperformance indicators (PIs). For example, ABET SO (b) “an ability to design and conductexperiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data” was divided into three PIs: (b1) “ability todesign

In the case of B737 Maxdisasters there will be millions who through no fault of their own will have to fly on B 737Max aircraft, and some will be afraid. Since the primary purpose of an inquiry, unlessotherwise stated, is to make recommendations that ensure that such accidents do not occuragain, there is an obligation on society to ensure that its citizens are in a position to verify theveracity of what is recommended. Here, that skill is called “technological competence” thesuccessful exercise of which is to be technologically literate. In this sense
differentapproaches to algorithmic evaluation display trends comparable to by-hand assessment by aninstructor. Given that the software used in this work utilized unmodified versions of the basicalgorithms, it might be expected that agreement will improve as the algorithms are modified tobetter detect features most prevalent in diagrams of technological systems. Additional testing isplanned with both engineering students enrolled in an introduction to engineering and non-engineers in a general education engineering literacy course.References: 1. B.
