readily accepted by faculty. Changes in accreditation criteria have resulted in a focus on learning objectives and outcomes and results of evaluations that can be used to improve and develop the programs. Since most programs have now gone through at least one visit, many programs have found concerns and/or weaknesses in Criterion 2: program outcomes and 3: assessment and evaluation. Some of the most common areas of concern are communication and lifelong learning. The research team included the primary investigator, Professor Sarai Hedges, Six Sigma Green Belt, Director of Assessment, Virginia Westheider, Dean, Allen Arthur and the College Assessment Committee (CAC) that includes faculty representatives from each department.

Need for more evidence, preferably quantitative, that civil engineering educational reform is necessary. 2. Added institutional costs (e.g., faculty, staff, equipment, space, accreditation) to accommodate students in traditional and new Masters programs. What if we incur costs and “no one comes?” 3. Added costs to students. Will students and their families be willing and able to invest more in their education and will employers assist with the cost of M/30? 4. Reduced civil

Engineering Criteria 2000, the new engineering program evaluative criteria, spawned adramatic increase in the scholarship of assessment. There have been a large number of confer-ence papers about engineering assessment. Discussions specific to engineering technologyassessment are less common. Most assessment presentations, however, in either engineering orengineering technology focus on who did (or is going to do) it, methodological issues or conductof surveys, and particular issues about what can be measured and why.

during four annual academic terms.For example, for Fall 1999 we offer 13 weekend and five weekday classes. We also try to have atleast two OIT faculty delivering classes during any one term. As a result of this model, theenrollment more than doubled for Fall 1999. We are planning to offer 24 courses during theWinter 2000 quarter, including 19 weekend courses. This new approach requires a substantialamount of coordination with Boeing, adjunct faculty, and the Klamath Falls campus. Smallproblems with few classes grow to enormous proportions with 20 or more classes. As a resultworkload is significantly increased and processes must be clearly documented andcommunicated.

LOCs refer to voice/tone, sentence structure,punctuation, usage of words and spelling, while HOCs refer to ideas, focus, organization anddevelopment or evidence.

Furthermore, a 3D printing lab was set up with cameras.Students could submit parts to be made, and the faculty would set up the print runs, which couldthen be monitored by the students online. Thus, probably the most time-consuming issue in thedrone project was for faculty to go to the building, collect the part, and arrange for the students topick it up at a later time.Another issue involved the students’ individual projects.

Technology education, through its activity-based,hands-on approach, has the potential to create this connection. The combination of all three disciplines is MSTeducation.
