IntroductionIn this paper, we give an overview of the collaborative design process that we have built toaddress unmet needs in underserved communities while at the same time educating engineeringstudents about their capacity to create positive social change. The process description ismotivated by a specific example—the design of a tool for adult literacy education in developingcountries. We

Based onresponses from the first group of students, a few generalizations can be made. Almost allof the students were able to demonstrate a clear understanding of the physical structureand function of several kinds of electronic packaging configurations. Students were ableto demonstrate mastery of earlier course material by relating material properties topackaging requirements. (Questions 1 and 4.) All of the students offered connectionalternatives as required in question 2 and material considerations for question 3,but it isnot clear how

design course and a senior capstone design course. The freshman courseintroduces students to the process skills associated with engineering design. Emphasis is on teamwork, communications skills, and computer-aided analytical tools. Activities include prototypebuilding and testing with industrial collaboration. As students complete this course beforechoosing a major in the College of Engineering, the technical content is general and does notfocus on a particular engineering discipline. In contrast, the senior capstone design courserequires students to apply the tools acquired in both required courses and technical electiveswithin our department. By blending professional engineering topics and project activity, theexisting capstone design course

The figure shows two paths of knowledge feeding into a capstone design experience.On the left side of Fig. 1 are curriculum components associated with ecological science, and onthe right are the more traditional components of an engineering program. The right side forms anarea of study we call sustainable design. As noted previously, we believe ecological engineeringdesign differs from traditional practices, and must be guided by the five principles stated above.To move from the general to the specific, we are proposing an ecological engineering curriculumfor the University of Washington.

If properly developed this exercise will also benefitthe engineering students in the following areas:1. Students learn teamwork by working together in a small group to prepare their student "firm" presentation.2. Students learn to use usual aids, especially computer generated slides, as an integral part of their presentations.3. Students learn to make an oral presentation that combines an engineering approach to a project/problem with a marketing strategy to be competitively selected for that project.4

AbstractThe Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET periodically make changes to itsaccreditation process1,2,3,4. A major change occurred in late 1990s when the general accreditationcriteria containing seven (7) criterion and a program criteria, specific to a given engineering degreeprogram, were developed and implemented in 20001. The major elements of these criteria wereCriterion 2-Program Educational Objectives and Criterion 3-Program Outcomes (a-k) andAssessment. In 2008-09 evaluation cycle, the title of Program Outcomes (PO) and ProfessionalComponents were changed to Student Outcomes (SO) and Curriculum, respectively. Also, therequirements for evaluation of PEOs and POs were removed from criteria 2 and 3 and became a partof
