ModelDepicting the ABET Engineering Criteria in this way allows us to recognize the parallelsbetween the individual Engineering Criteria criterion and the elements of ISO 9001:2015 [8].This in turn allows us to apply the tools and concepts of quality to each Criterion.Engineering Program as a Process ISO 9001:2015 “promotes the adoption of a process approach when developing,implementing and improving the effectiveness of a quality management system. The processapproach involves the systematic definition and management of processes and their interactionsso as to achieve the intended results.”[8] Such an approach enables: a. understanding and consistency in meeting requirements; b. consideration of processes in terms of added value; c

Project activities and deliverables as an integrated processThe project proposal was evaluated using a rubric (Appendix A) and detailed comments onproject scope and objectives were provided to students as a midterm feedback process. At theend of the semester, each team delivered a written report and presented a poster whichhighlighted their methods, findings and recommendations. The written reports were evaluatedby the course instructor using a project rubric (Appendix B) specifically designed for thecourse. The oral poster presentations were evaluated by a panel of judges using an oralpresentation rubric

funding small teams oftechnicians to accomplish a well-defined, finite task.4) Learning to work in small teams (3-4 students) to capture data and to perform analyses.Taking the project on in four steps worked well. It provided the time to grade the submissions,to return them to the students, to discuss the solutions in class, and to increase the concept ofanalyzing a project in terms of its economic payback over the life of the project. This last pointis crucial for the future analyses the students will be required to do in supporting their analysesof life-cycle cost analysis (particularly in the area of “green” buildings) during the next threeyears of their education.
