Although ABET was reluctant at first to define whatwas meant by program outcomes, recent agreement has resulted in the following definition:Program Outcomes are statements that describe what students are expected to know and be ableto do by the time of graduation. These outcomes relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviorsthat students acquire in their matriculation through the program.Program OutcomesABET has published a list of eleven outcomes that they offer for general use by

In other cases, well-qualified ET studentsopt to either transfer to an engineering program within the College or leave to attend anotherinstitution. Since ET programs and their engineering counterparts are administered by the sameset of departments and are closely related, there is a constant need to maintain distinctiveness.We discovered that one way of doing this was to use the curriculum flexibility inherent in the PEand TS course bundles resident within all ET programs.Improving the Educational Outcomes of GraduatesUntil recently, the systematic use

This was prompted mainly by the belief thatstudents’ understanding of the subject matters and their interest in engineering are greatlyimproved once they realize why the courses are important and how they are related to each other.The Integrated Engineering program introduced at Southern Utah University is based upon adifferent
