committee knew that the EAC would not accept EC 2000 without thisguarantee [32]. The phrase “engineering topics” did, on the other hand, allow programs todifferentiate themselves between those that wished to emphasize engineering design and practiceas opposed to the engineering sciences [31-32].EC 2000, as originally drafted, also placed significant emphasis on program education objectives[35-36]. While it remains unclear how even individual members from Jacobson’s committeeunderstood the purpose of Criterion 2, the basic idea was that programs could build all of theirlearning outcomes around the specific institutional context and program objectives that weredefined, in turn, according to the “needs of the program’s various constituencies.”[35

Because of this, the DRteachers were taught content and participated in the technology and engineering activities alongwith their students during the morning session, and then these teachers team taught with the TEEfaculty during the afternoon session. This allowed the TEE faculty members to model for theteachers instructional strategies appropriate for teaching the specific content and then for the DRteachers to apply what they learned in a mentored environment.The final challenge was the lack of hands-on materials available in the DR classrooms needed toadequately teach technology and engineering content.

Competency-Based Assessment in DynamicsAbstractThis paper examines the effectiveness and limitations of implementing a competency-basedgrading system in Engineering Dynamics. Rather than assessing the students on how well theyperformed the many skills studied (traditional grading system) students were assessed on howmany skills they can do well (competency or mastery-based grading).To earn a passing grade in the competency-based grading system, students demonstratedproficiency on two foundational skills for dynamic analysis. Proficiency required solving aproblem in a test environment, assessed as correct or containing only trivial errors. In ourcurriculum, prerequisites are met with a grade of C- or higher. To earn this grade, students musthave
