Beginningwith the essential activities of eating and sleeping, they gradually guide us toward that end. After a few yearsunder the direction of parents alone (or their designated representatives), the government becomes involved inthe process by requiring formal education up to age sixteen which also contributes to our eventualindependence. At some variable point in our maturation, we make the plan our own so that we determine suchthings as future career direction and preparation, make choices regarding employment, residence, spouse (ifany) and children

All engineering programs were required to be accredited under the new EC2000 startingin the fall of 2001. The philosophy of EC2000 is to allow institutions and programs to uniquelydefine their mission and objectives to meet the needs of their constituents and enable programdifferentiation. Emphasis is placed on continuous improvement of programs based on the inputof constituents and a process that links outcomes and assessment to program objectives.The earlier research

For example, research can be initiated to improve the accuracy and/or precision of ameasurement, but one should also estimate whether or not such improvements actually increasevalue vis-à-vis decisions based on the subject measurement. Ignoring such calculations can leadto over- and underinvestment in information improvement. When students are sensitized to VOIthinking early in their education, they will examine such investments more critically in theircoursework and as practicing engineers.References1. Katz, R., and A.
