This sentimentis echoed by ABET which states that professional certifications “can provide feedback on theknowledge transfer that occurs within academic programs” [3]. Additionally, professionalcertifications serve as professional standards, by baselining the capabilities and competencies ofstudents, which are needed to help improve both the reliability and validity for studies onengineering education [11].1.1.3 Academic learning objectives.

The reasonsfor such assessment range from desires to improve student learning to fulfilling requirements ofvarious accreditation bodies. But regardless of the reasons, the challenge is to develop suitablemetrics that can clearly identify areas that need improvement.In order to assess student learning, the Department of Chemical Engineering at Brigham YoungUniversity has outlined multiple

terminology (suchas “bias” rather than “non-neutral”), relating bias to the responsibility of manufacturers toproduce safe products, use of real world problems with no single right answer, and examinationof technology as an embodiment of human will.In a typical class one finds that some students quickly buy into the concept of bias, while otherscling tenaciously to non-neutrality. The latter claim that obviously technology cannot be heldmorally responsible for the action a human user took with it. But that is not quite the claim I ammaking. I have found it useful to let this argument develop during class discussion so that I canpoint out that something can be biased without having agency. That is, technology can bias theuser (who does have agency

The first course in the series, ME250, introducesstudents to design and manufacturing basics. ME350 builds upon these fundamentals, teachingstudents the synthesis and analysis of mechanical components and systems by extensivelyintegrating design and manufacturing. The final course, ME450, exposes students to systemdesign and integration. In ME450, students work hand-in-hand with external sponsors (industry,the community, and
environment is preparing students for a rapidlychanging world outside.” While “schools remain wedded to shopworn traditions” there seems tobe a growing malaise about the role of design as the centerpiece of architectural education.2Recognition of the problem also comes at a time when new teaching methods are emerging.The major effort in trying to refine elements in the curriculum (particularly in different depart-ments) depends upon what might be termed “changing the culture” of the curriculum. To createthese changes architectural design studio and engineering laboratories need to be organizedcomprehensively, across departmental boundaries. In the course of these revisions they will alsoneed to be changed from independently organized activities to
