Engineering Education, 2018 New Course Development and Assessment Tools in Automotive Lightweighting TechnologiesAbstractAutomotive industry traditionally has reduced weight primarily by downsizing. Today,the strategy of downsizing vehicle has reached its limits. The OEMs are also facingsubstantial increases in Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations in the U.S.and the other global markets. In this context, engineering students need to understandthe underlying contributors that significantly play a role in vehicle Lightweighting. Oneof the main contributors is the appropriate use of a variety of high strength andlightweight materials to meet the mass (weight) targets. Another aspect and a morechallenging issue is that

At present ABET has started to apply the EC2000 criteria to the internationalevaluations, and it does not give the substantial equivalence anymore. Instead, it has startedaccrediting programs abroad.The College of Engineering is going through a curricular reengineering process, to face thesenew challenges and to go a step further in the internationalization process. The goals proposed tothe new curriculum are (1) to change the present paradigm towards a curriculum based onoutcomes, (2) to fulfill the ABET EC2000 criteria, (3) to improve the efficiency of the educationand learning process, (4) to

Florida. Established in1997, FGCU attracts thousands of new freshmen each year because of its commitment toacademic excellence and an interdisciplinary focus on curriculum combined with a growing,younger regional population. The most unusual characteristic of FGCU, compared to otherUniversity systems, is its implementation of a 3-year renewable term contract rather than thetraditional tenure system. Despite this non-traditional approach, which has been in place sinceFGCU was started, there have been and continue to be many exceptional applicants to the newU.A.
