The Divisiongraduates annually approximately 70 undergraduate students in the electrical specialty. SinceCSM has a small group of EE faculty, the program focuses on two “tracks” of multi-disciplinaryinterest: (i) Energy Systems, Machines and Power Electronics, and (ii) Automation, Sensing andCommunication.

The total direct cost of these functions—approximately$163,500 annually—does not include staff costs. We estimate that ASCE’s withdrawal fromABET would also eliminate the workload associated with the equivalent of one staff member—i.e., 1.0 full-time equivalent (FTE)—yielding commensurate savings in salary, benefits, andfully-reimbursed travel

While this capstone course model continues to develop with eachsuccessive year, assessment data shows that course and program objectives of graduatingstudents who can “plan, design, execute, and manage a complex open-ended civil engineeringproject” are being met [4]. In accomplishing this goal, students produce engineering designdocuments, construction drawings, cost estimates, construction schedules, and any othernecessary project specific documents. In addition, students communicate the results of theirproject via a technical report and a formal presentation

years later, Grace Hopper (1906-1992) led thedevelopment of the first programming language compiler, which led to the popular COBOLlanguage [9]. Although women were at the forefront of software development, today a low numberof female students are interested in learning to program and choosing a career in technology [10],[11], [12]. Studies indicate that a large number of qualified female students lose interest inengineering and technology as early as middle school [13], [14].
