Instructors received samplematerials to introduce the Ticket Home to their students (Appendix A-B) and were asked tocomplete a brief weekly survey about their usage of the Ticket Home. One instructor asked toparticipate but opted not to use the Ticket Home after deciding they did not have the time toimplement it, leaving eight instructors of ten classes, teaching 403 students.We provided centralized support to reduce instructors’ time burden.

toward becoming interdisciplinary scholars, (b) desire to be them, and(c) perceptions of their possibilities for becoming interdisciplinary scholars evolve during theirenrollment in an interdisciplinary certificate program?MethodsStudy Site and Project BackgroundThis study examines students enrolled in an Interdisciplinary Disaster Resilience (IDR) graduatecertificate program, formerly funded by an NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) grant at a largepublic research university in the United States. The IDR program provided supplementalinterdisciplinary training to graduate students while they maintained primary affiliations in theirdisciplinary departments. The program requires 12 credit hours of coursework, including corecourses in interdisciplinary
academic learning with hands-on work experience.The regional campuses are co-located with area technical schools, providing a uniqueinfrastructure for offering an undergraduate engineering technology program. The purpose of thispaper is to: a) continue the previous work of communicating the implementation of an effectiveassessment program for ABET ETAC accreditation; b) share the results of the assessment and c)discuss best practices for preparing and planning for the readiness review.This paper is organized in the following order: I.
