Forexample, the ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (Outcome A)and the ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data(Outcome B) may be demonstrated by enrollment in laboratory or design classes and inprofessional employment. However, the portfolio provides in-depth discussion of these projects,as well as significant applicable projects in others classes in some class projects activities.In addition, the discussion of professional employment experience and inclusion ofsupplemental materials, such as reviews by employers, project assignments, and finalpresentation materials give ABET reviewers a far greater understanding

, pointed out that “... many of the CEDP students through their work experiences have already developed a number of the competencies that the criteria requirements were designed to assure. It makes no sense to require such students to repeat experiences that develop skills they already possess. A more reasonable approach would be to assess the competencies of entering students in the areas addressed by the criteria and to tailor educational experiences that fill the gaps in each student’s background. Portfolios of student work could then be used to demonstrate to an accreditation team that a student has, indeed, acquired the competencies specified by the criteria.”In February, 1995, UND received

The students appreciated the power of digital synthesis with the VHDL in a veryshort period of time.1. IntroductionSeveral Electronic Design Automation (EDA) companies 12, 15, 22 offer synthesis tools supportingthe VHDL and Verilog languages 2, 3, 5, 7. Most of these programs are designed for RTL andlogic synthesis; as a matter of fact, behavioral or high-level synthesis is still in an experimentalphase for the design communities. The main difference between high-level synthesis andRTL/logic synthesis is on the conceptual modeling of digital systems.High-level synthesis assumes a micro-architectural view for digital design

Theyare essential to the learning style of most engineering technology students, especially early intheir academic programs. Laboratory experiences have been given more emphasis inengineering programs since EC2000. Hence, in general, the importance of laboratoryexperiences in engineering and engineering technology programs have become more aligned andis not the distinguishing factor that it was pre-EC2000.Using Mathematics to Learn About Technology: This attribute has wide variation among currentengineering technology programs.
