outcomes to the program educational objectives in developing the long termassessment planAfter approving the educational objectives of a program, educators are required by ABET criteria3 to establish the program outcomes. The outcomes should describe an area of knowledge that aperson can possess, be stated such that a student can demonstrate before graduation, and besupportive of one or more objectives. In addition, the program outcomes are to encompass thefollowing eleven outcomes specified in Criteria 3. (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process

the last few years the rocket project has lived on a shoe-string budget, so we muststretch every dollar as far as possible. The program receives very little institutional fundingexcept for its pro-rata share of department funding for course support. We rely heavily onfunding from outside agencies and benefactors including the Academy’s Association ofGraduates (AOG), the NASA Colorado Space Grant Consortium, and the Air Force Office ofScientific Research (AFOSR). The program budget for this current academic year is about$15,000. In our academic environment this is sufficient funding to build a rocket system,perform numerous engine test firings, and execute a test flight of the vehicle. A large share of thebudget is allocated for propellants

problemsolving, negotiation, and critical integration skills.The E4 approach taken by Drexel University demonstrated that positive learning outcomes areachievable by applying an integrated systems-level approach to engineering education in a four-year program. The question arises, however, as to whether a similar approach could be applied ina two-year engineering technician program. While enrollment in most four-year engineeringprograms consists of mainly traditional college-aged students (18-25 years), two-yearengineering technician programs most often reside within community colleges where the averagestudent age is 25 to 30+ years. Many of these students work full time, have family obligations,and have been away from school for several years. Some
