thisquestion is how the program criteria of EM are fulfilled and how that course work relates to theengineering credit count. Especially problematic in the process of balancing these requirementsand constraints is the limit of total program credits.This paper provides a first step in exploring these issues by analyzing current ABET EM programsand documenting the allocation of engineering topic (ET) hours along with how they satisfyprogram criteria. The paper examines the allocation of credits and generalizes the approachemployed by these programs to accomplish the required engineering credits and the programcriteria. We found that there was a disparity in ET content in like courses; especially for the lesstechnical topics. Also, programs that taught

IntroductionCentral Connecticut State University’s School of Technology has recently faced anunprecedented challenge — but also a unique opportunity — in curriculum development. Theschool was charged with establishing a brand new (and the first) full engineering program in itsacademic offer. The faculty and administration started building an engineering program virtuallyfrom scratch. One must note, however, that implementing major components toward a futureengineering program had been underway for many years. The university already has in

arisen in too many aspects. The first relates to theproblem of how to allocate new credits to an already fill curriculum. As stated previously, in Brazil we have afive-year engineering program. Even with this longer program, engineering students usually attend from 30 to 40hours of classes per week. Thus, it is not pedagogically recommended to add any additional hours. On the otherhand, no professor wants to cut what they see as essential courses to add those of less tangible professionalvalue, Therefore, traditional academic inertia, the demands of an engineering degree, the overloaded curriculumand also, the lack of student interest -- are the main factors that prevent the inclusion of new broader training inbrazilian engineering education

Experiential education, a modelfirst articulated by John Dewey who developed theories of education rooted in and transformedby experience, is a term commonly applied to such “hands on” experiences as cooperativeeducation, internships, outdoor education, organizational development and training, and servicelearning7. In an experiential education program, students participate in a carefully chosenexperience and then engage in reflection, critical analysis, and synthesis of related information8.In Kolb’s model of experiential

importance of CAE in engineering education is well established andmany engineering programs now include some type of formal education utilizing solid modellingsoftware packages1,2,3. Many studies have shown that the use of CAE software enhances thelearning of students at all levels from first year4,5,6 to fourth year7,8. The CAD/CAE softwarepackages themselves tend to be broad based, offer extensive tools for the experiencedpractitioner and hence they may not be intuitive to the novice user.CAE is not a trivial domain. It is easy to generate results that are incorrect and dangerous9.Therefore, it is essential to know what is going on within a software program and recognize thesoftware’s limitations10.

Because this is the firstlevel and targets the middle school student, there are no academic requirements. This phaseintroduces students to practicing engineers and familiarizes them with the profession. This isaccomplished by inviting engineers to talk to students about their jobs and educationalbackground. Students also participate in a classroom setting completing assigned tasks andengineering related projects. Projects include a truss made of toothpicks, rocket kits and dragsterkits.

As such, the curriculum of the latter was re-aligned to that of the former to share curriculum, lab space, faculty, and other resources. Thispaper will highlight this alignment and the process by which a shared senior design capstone wasundertaken such that it would satisfy program outcomes and lead to ABET EAC accreditation.The lessons learned from the authors can be utilized by other universities that are adding one orboth of the civil and environmental engineering programs to their institutions.
