engineering curriculum was initiated at the freshmen level,faculty felt that integration should also be undertaken for our engineering students further along in theireducation. After faculty discussion, it was agreed that a single lecture would be prepared and delivered tomechanical, electrical and industrial engineering students enrolled in a fall semester course preparing for themfor their capstone senior design projects in the spring, called Professional Awareness, ME 439, EE 439 and IE439. This class included 39 engineers from the mechanical, electrical and industrial engineering disciplines.This paper summarizes the results of a first formal attempt by faculty in the School of Engineering at WNECto educate students on this difficult yet

That is to say, students were not randomly selected from the population and then Proceedings of the 2005 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2005, American Society for Engineering Educationrandomly assigned to one of the nine schools. Thus internal validity1 and the independenceassumption required by standard linear models such as multiple regression and analysis ofvariance are not assured. It should also be realized

Page 14.358.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 Connecting with Alumni: An Experiment in Social Networking using Facebook GroupsIntroductionOne of the more difficult aspects of complying with the ABET criteria concerns the collection ofdata in support of Criterion 2, Program Educational Objectives. The primary issue involves notonly possessing valid contact information for graduates, but also maintaining a relationship withone’s graduates such that there is an inherent willingness to participate in the assessment processwhen an alumni survey is received. Unfortunately, low response rates, sometimes even in thesingle digits, are often the norm, making evaluation of the assessment data difficult
hand,students should try to develop brainstorming techniques andresearching skills. A major problem arises when students are not ableto take courses and have lower credits because there is aclash in timings of the different subjects. In addition, manymajor courses are just offered in one semester and studentshave to wait a year to take it if they dropped them. Thisslows their graduation and demoralizes them from studying.The PI administration should find solutions for them likeoffering online courses.
