exposure togeneral engineering principles is reduced. Third, the pre-entry engineering experience andknowledge of students is probably lower now than in previous times. This is in part explained bythe complexity and relative ‘un-repairability’ of much of today’s machines/equipment/devicesleading to fewer opportunities for young adults to experiment and learn-by-doing. The conjectureis that the combined impact of the above three has led to a decontexualisation withinundergraduate engineering programmes. What are the remedies? A lengthening of programmesto allow for the inclusion of more ‘engineering’in the curriculum; the adoption of carefullychosen industrial placement for at least a semester; the inclusion of more problem-based orproject-based

process of student outcomes in the engineering programs.IntroductionThe ABET-Engineering Commission (EAC) accreditation of engineering programs based onstudents’ learning outcome assessment (EC-2000) began in late 1990s. During the last few yearsof 1990s programs were given the choice of being evaluated based on the old criteria or the newlyestablished EC-2000 criteria. Since 2000, all engineering programs requesting accreditation forthe first time or seeking re-accreditation by ABET-EAC have been required to demonstrate thatprogram meets a set of criteria that include both the general criteria for baccalaureate degreeprograms and the program criteria required by the program lead society (e.g., ASCE, IEEE,ASME).1 The programs must also meet all
