These outcomes haveintroduced and mandated by ABET for engineering programs to ensure the quality ofengineering graduates. Projects similar to this project would help engineering educators to covermany student outcomes in senior design classes, which improve the quality of engineeringeducation.

Two levels of feedback are necessary: one for setting standards for the quality of theschoolwide engineering educational system and a second, for measuring program performancesagainst those standards. Standards are established by determining the level of sensitivity desiredand by comparing each program against the schoolwide average or “standard.” In order to applythese rules, the school’s “standard” must be determined by calculating the average perception in Page 6.706.3 Proceedings of the 2001
