standards, the ABET SLOs (particularly the new 1-7) needsignificant parsing to make them relatable to student learning experiences. While this has beendone by the faculty as illustrated by the mapping in Table 1, its value is often lost to the students.The skill set presented in Table 2, offer a bridge to connect these two levels. Their simplicity andapplicability to workplace practice makes them more relatable than the ABET SLOs. And as willbe demonstrated in the next section, they can also be integrated into learning experiences withinthe courses to compliment the stated learning outcomes. This we argue helps to further motivateand engage students in those activities where at times the immediate and complete skills benefitmight not be apparent

3160 Two International Engineering Programs in France Ian R. Simpson ENST BretagneIntroductionUntil very recently, France had been notoriously poor at offering high-level engineeringprograms to international students whose mother tongue was not French. In the author’sopinion two of the reasons for this situation were:• A relatively stultified and non-proactive education system at university level, unable (and perhaps, unwilling) to adapt to the new phenomena of the Europeanisation of educational programs and globalisation, in general

Many other instructors resist using more activelearning or project based assignments in their class for fear of not getting through all of thematerial. The similarities in the final exam scores suggest that this should not be a concern. Themore important aspect to consider, which is extremely difficult to actually measure, is the longterm retention and understanding of the students. Problems based in engineering context (e.g., acatapult) should provide much

They were then asked towrite an analysis of the overall safety of the plant, with recommendations for improvement. Acomparative study of students using virtual reality versus students who based their analysissolely on the written process description did not show the desired benefits, and therefore thesimulation has recently been revised.The new version provides more directed student activity, through the use of specific questions tobe addressed during the simulation, as well as

The activity must becompleted within a restricted timeframe, usually 10-15 minutes, and students are not allowed toask questions of the faculty or the observer.
