One approach has been toform “symbiotic” partnership between industry and academia through senior capstone projects.The capstone course has evolved over the years from “made up” projects devised by faculty toindustry-sponsored projects where companies provide “real” problems, along with expertise andfinancial support. In fact, design courses, in general, have emerged as a means for students to beexposed to some flavor of what engineers

All of the information to this point is needed in any ABET self-studyreport. The most important aspect is that instructor defines each rubric so they make the mosteffective use of their time. As mentioned before, the faculty will also trust the results since theyshould not select a weak rubric. As faculty change courses and as courses change instructors, it isnow the responsibility of the new instructor to repeat this process to make the most effective useof their time.Once the outcome measurements are obtained, the next step in the structure is in the

Page 14.605.3The impetus for establishing a certification examination often begins with recognition that a newbody of knowledge has emerged or is emerging. Initially, instructional content and trainingoptions will vary across a broad spectrum, and practitioners in the new field possess disparateknowledge and skills. This may lead to frustration or concern among employers and employeesas well as contractors and clients. If the disparity becomes sufficiently widespread, the relatedindustrial organization or professional society will begin the process of defining the body ofknowledge so a certification program can be generated.This paper presents the experiences of the authors’ involvement with the professional technicalcertification programs of

The authors, in discussions with faculty and librarians at another regional university,reviewed various definitions of information literacy and concluded that the terms imply anegative: those who do not qualify as information-literate are then “illiterate,” a word withsignificant social stigma. Further, the term “literacy” implies that the capability, once acquired,is in some manner an attribute of the individual. The linguistic term, “fluency,” borrowed fromsecond-language acquisition, is adopted throughout the

Konthaneth et al. 16 surveyed the engineering educationfaculty at Virginia Tech to determine what motivated the engineering education faculty to adopttablet PCs.

That is, while a small number of faculty participants did not includeassignments that they considered communication-related several claiming to not to teachcommunication explicitly still required communication artifacts or deliverables. The prominenceof communication among the faculty interviewed is reinforced by the low number of interviewparticipants who did not consider communication a matter of concern; only 3 of the 50interviewees did not consider it part of the curriculum.These results suggest important opportunities for dialogue and collaboration among engineeringfaculty within a department and between engineering faculty and technical

PIs are measurable as degrees of attainment and PIs supporta specific student outcome. The advantage of using PIs is that if the corresponding measure isbelow a specified threshold and the faculty agree that this is a concern, then the faculty can bespecific about potential curricular adjustments they can make for students to perform better in thefuture. Studies show that three PIs may be sufficient for each student outcome.To facilitate the selection of PIs, we decided to use the ACM Computer Science Curricula 2013(a.k.a. ACM CS2013)10.

However, faculty werenot convinced this was the case, and they feared that their attempts to adopt new practices wouldprompt negative feedback from students.TimeNot surprisingly, lack of time was discussed as a primary reason that faculty chose not toimplement new
