Increasing educational awareness about standardization is one of twelve primaryobjectives of the USSS (1). To that end, over the past several years standards professionals haveconducted studies to determine how professors are incorporating standards into currentcurriculums. In parallel, other attempts have been made to increase students’ awareness ofstandards by imposing minimal requirements for standards use within specific engineering andtechnology ABET requirements. Yet the question of how to adequately implement the practiceand application of standards into curriculums still remains largely unanswered. Among standards
