that reflect both facultyand employer aspirations. When discussed in meetings with external advisory boards foracademic programs, this profile can reveal differences in employer and academic perspectivesabout desired capabilities in engineering graduates. These discussions can also lead to curricularevisions or greater employer involvement in educational programs. In some cases, thediscussion of profile details will clarify to educators the elemental skills, knowledge, or attitudesneeded to perform valued roles effectively. For example, the profile delineates basic elements ofproblem solving that may not be adequately taught and assessed in a curriculum. Understandings

One of the unspoken benefits of the EAC is itsneutrality in reporting results, creating a non-political environment for discussion aboutcurriculum. As one of the Center’s goals, the process of assessment is about curriculum and notindividual faculty members.References1.

, communication, and human resources. As in other STEM programs, the students’ learning outcomes are strongly correlated totheir time commitment to the program. The principal factor impeding ETEC students from afull-time commitment to their education is the fact that many if not most are workingprofessionals seeking a graduate degree several years after completing the B.S. As expected, wehave experienced less than acceptable performance from many students who attempt tosimultaneously juggle a graduate education with full-time jobs and other life commitments. All else being equal though, we advocate that an M.S. in ETEC should stand on equalfooting with the M.S. in any other field, particularly in ENG when viewed from the perspectiveof (i) the

Engineering educators havebeen reminded of the need to strengthen this aspect of the curriculum in numerous studies and bythe very standards that are used to accredit our programs. For design education to be effective,design tools must be introduced early in the curriculum, reinforced in fundamentals courses, anddemonstrated in capstone projects.1At the U.S. Coast Guard Academy the sophomore level course Introduction to MechanicalEngineering Design has been developed to provide students with an initial introduction tofundamental topics that will be applied in their upper-division courses.

Curriculum changes which evolved fromthat review included a two course sophomore design sequence (ME 286A and ME 286B). Thefirst course focused on design methodology, manufacturing processes, and the use of SolidWorkssoftware, and introduced students to the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO)framework as a template for the practice of engineering. The second course covered computertools used for analysis to support the design process, especially programming with Visual Basicfor Applications (VBA) within the Microsoft

Those who argue againstincluding accounting courses in the curriculum usually are reluctant to sacrifice the spacein the curriculum because of the rapid expansion of technical material in the engineeringdisciplines. Both arguments have merits and some compromise is needed. Certainly it isdifficult to justify the usual two-course sequence of financial and managerial accountingusually

So, I don't know if you still want to….This version of consensus—using it to justify a decision—is a weaker form of the consensusbuilding through argumentation discussed in science and mathematics education research.Moreover, it could be considered an epistemologically weaker criterion then some of the othersseen in this study. That is, appealing to consensus is a common decision making process inclassroom settings and unless it is part of a larger argumentative discussion, it does notnecessitate that students examine the fundamental disagreements and different understandings.As such, appealing to consensus does not require that students develop new or deeperunderstandings. We were therefore happy to find that this form of

One alternative would be to require certain courses that coverthe desired materials, but that defeats some of the advantages of attending a large school, specificallythe ability to tailor a program to one’s interests. In addition, there is the problem of getting classroomassessment from faculty who are not in the engineering or technology department that is beingaccredited. In view of these problems, I believe that the technical courses in the curriculum shouldcontribute to the teaching and assessment of the soft-skills. In particular, some of these topics can betaught using material that is germane to the technical course.I teach a course titled, “Electrical Power and Controls,” in the Electrical Engineering TechnologyProgram
