Development of evidence management and gap analysis tools for continuous improvement of engineering programs The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the development and structure of recentlycreated data management tools used to assist in the continuous improvement of both agriculturaland biological systems engineering programs. With the arrival of automatic document feederscapable of transforming paper materials in electronic documents, evidence of course contributionto student learning outcomes is easier to map than ever before. Additionally, electronic storageenables the ability to search within documents and connect related data more effectively thancould be achieved with paper documentation. As a result, the following

While the goal of thiscourse is for students to experience a “real” design project, we felt that we needed to improvethis senior design sequence with an exercise that forced all students through a shared and“complete” design process to help address some of the challenges associated with a cross-disciplinary capstone course. Therefore, beginning in 2010, a two-week, rapid design challengewas implemented at the beginning of the senior capstone design experience, based on a

Core competences regard the general competences, i.e., mostly related to math, science,engineering, and humanities-economics, and to generic competences of the graduate related tocommunication, cooperation, design ability, etc. Mid-level competences relate to applied BEtopics or specializations.

Forexample, we can introduce more scaffolding within the curriculum to prepare students forcoursework and topics they will encounter later in the program. Skills learned in the first yearwill be incorporated into second year courses and so on, so students can continue to grow theirengineering toolkit. However, reorganization of our existing curriculum has also presentedchallenges.
