Engineering Education how easy Harvard is now. It thinks only of the difficulty of getting into Harvard, arising from the fact that merit, and not family wealth, is now the predominant factor in admission. Thus, essentially all Harvard students are bright. But are they equally bright? Grade inflation is a statement that they are. Having spoken on the subject, I do not want to repeat the arguments. To sum them up: Grade inflation may once have had the idea behind it that grading is an undemocratic act of oppression by teach- ers over students, but nobody now advances that stale claim from the 1960s. Grade inflation has become a thoughtless routine convenient for professors, stu- dents

Companies that she has worked with renew their commitment to innovation. She also helps students an- swer these questions when she teaches some of these methods to engineering, design, business, medicine, and law students.

Session 2630 Structural Assessment to Support Engineering Education Jennifer Turns, Alex Kirlik Georgia Institute of TechnologyAbstract: The ABET 2000 changes in accreditation standards of engineering programs will soonmake it necessary for engineering programs to demonstrate that their students have theknowledge and abilities necessary for performing professional engineering activities. StructuralAssessment, a method for assessing students knowledge of the relationships among concepts,methodologies, and problems in a domain, may represent a valuable assessment
as interdisciplinary speaker series, field trips, and hands-on workshops can createspace for these perspectives. For this to succeed, institutions must provide resources and trainingfor educators, equipping them to lead discussions on alternative futures and embed futuringpractices into their teaching.Together, these approaches establish the structural and cultural foundations necessary to advancefutures-oriented pedagogy in engineering education.Evaluating Outcomes and Tracking ProgressTo assess the effectiveness of embedding design futuring in engineering education, I draw onBorrego and Henderson’s

: international and domestic undergraduate students in focus in the United States higher education institutions. In addition, Mr. Halkiyo is interested in broadening the participation of engineering education in Ethiopian universities to increase the diversity, inclusivity, equity, and quality of Engineering Education. He studies how different student groups such as women and men, rich and poor, students from rural and urban, and technologically literate and less literate can have quality and equitable learning experiences and thrive in their performances. In doing so, he focuses on engineering education policies and practices in teaching and learning processes, assessments, laboratories, and practical internships. Mr. Halkiyo
