comparison above would also appear to dictate the deletion of criteria provisions regardinglifelong learning and contemporary issues, as well as changes to criteria provisions regarding thesocial sciences. However, all of these provisions are contained in the ABET Basic-LevelGeneral Criteria and thus cannot be readily changed by ASCE. It should also be noted thatdeletion of the requirement for experimentation from the Civil Engineering Program Criteriawould not result in the removal of experimentation from curricula, because Criterion 3(b) of theGeneral Criteria still requires “an ability to design and conduct experiments,” albeit notnecessarily in a civil engineering context.The comparison above would also appear to dictate the addition of a

Thisthree-step method resulted in a final version consisting of five questions (load, pulleys, rotation,compressors, etc.).For the Thermodynamics course, several commonly available teaching and evaluation resourceswere scoured for conceptual questions. However, most questions required calculations such thatstudents would be unlikely to complete the questions during a pretest even if they intuitivelyunderstood the underlying concepts. Thus, we utilized a set of conceptual questions (SeeAppendix B) and compared students’ scores to the course professor’s final exam to determineconstruct validity (students doing better on professor’s final will also do better on the

This ignorance stems from thefact there are uncertainties in a) models used in the design, b) material properties, c) qualitycontrol in manufacturing and d) system response to actual use.It is pointed out to students that engineers have an obligation to protect the safety of humanbeings. Hence, engineers should be aware of the experimental nature of any project, forecastingpossible side effects, and should make an effort to monitor them.Legal regulations and the existence of many regulatory agencies such as EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) are explained in this context.

These projects need to: a. be limited in scope, b. align and sequence with subject material being taught in the class, and c. support current AMP and CAMP projects. 3. As with CAMP and AMP, these projects should produce an environment similar to that the students will encounter during high-level capstone design activities and should include specific tasks such as “statement of work” and “deliverables”. 4. Staff from CAMP and/or AMP should co-lead the class during this teach- ing/learning process.As an example, we have developed a design analysis project for the Spring 2007 offeringof Heat Transfer.
