The opinions expressed in thispaper are solely those of the author and should not be considered to represent an official ABETposition.IntroductionWith the adoption of TC2K for accreditation the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) ofABET requires accredited programs to define objectives and outcomes and to prove to the visitor thatthey are being met and that the program is being continually improved. TAC conducted TC2K pilotvisits in 2001, which were followed by a two-year phase in for the new criteria. Institutions were ableto choose to be accredited with the old or new criteria in 2002 and 2003; however, all

The credit reduction reflects a more realistic assessment of in-labtime.Senior Year. The biggest change in the senior year is the introduction of concentrationareas. A student will choose an area of interest to consist of 3 related elective courses (3credits each), thus replacing the current approach of 1 technical elective and 1 chemicalengineering elective. Our students have expressed a desire for a concentration (minor) asa means of improving their employment prospects. Current faculty interests suggest thatour initial concentration offerings will be in polymers, pre-medical, and biology /pharmaceutical. It is

However, little work has been doneexploring the types of conceptions that computing students hold for the fundamental computingconcepts apart from identifying misconceptions. Uncovering the different types of conceptionsheld by students independent of specific computing languages or environments is essential tounderstanding how students learn computing concepts and ultimately to develop betterpedagogical and assessment techniques.Phenomenography is a research methodology uniquely designed to uncover the differentconceptions held by individuals about a given concept because the main tenet ofphenomenography is that any phenomenon can be understood or experienced in a limitednumber of

Previous studies examining open-book assessment provide evidence that studentsexhibit better performance on open-book exams compared to closed-book exams. In addition,many university faculty find it advantageous to employ exams using an open-book format,especially in engineering. However

giving a wrong answer and appearing to beintellectually inferior in front of peers. This is especially true if instructors are able to frame astudent’s answer in the light of being a hypothesis and treat the act of wrestling with concepts inorder to master them as a necessary and good step in learning technical subject matter. For instructors, the quizzes can serve as a continuous assessment of their teaching and ofthe students’ learning. Thus, future lessons can be tailored to accommodate the reality of wherethe students really are in terms of their learning. It is worth noting that these quizzes usuallyonly cover “lower” levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy 13. Although most instructors aim to elevateboth classroom discussion and later
