EAC Criteria editions publishedover the previous decade, Criterion 3 had specified that “engineering programs must demonstratethat their students attain the following outcomes….” In the proposed harmonized criteria,Criterion 3 dropped the explicit requirement for students to attain outcomes, requiring only that“the program must have documented student outcomes that prepare graduates to attain theprogram educational objectives.” ASCE interpreted the change from “studentsattain…outcomes” to “program must have…outcomes” as a troubling reduction in the rigor ofthe criteria. Such a reduction—if it did occur—would weaken ASCE’s “Raise the Bar” initiativeby compromising the profession’s ability to validate attainment of the professional body

The ALA panel described in [4] includes a description of how mentors at thePhoenix Public Library take a year to monitor new selectors followed by deeper training.Another key assumption outlined in [10] is that training is required at both a macro and microlevel. The macro level includes subject expertise, the publishing landscape and knowledge aboutdisciplinary patterns and habits. Many articles described their in-depth training methods for newselectors [11], [12], [13].

There are many means to do this including standardized tests suchas the GRE or FE examination, interviews with students and/or employers, major research papersand projects, and locally developed essay tests [1]. Another method that the Messiah CollegeEngineering Department has begun to explore is the use of portfolios. Portfolios are commonly used tools in certain professions like art or photography,whereby artists or photographers seek to present collections representative of their best works tocustomers, clients or potential employers.

11.1220.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2006 Teaching Psychrometrics: A Timely Approach Using Active LearningIntroductionIn the past decade several mechanical engineering programs have eliminated a required secondcourse in thermodynamics. In doing so, many topics have been cast aside due to the perceptionthat they cannot be taught in a timely fashion in a single course on thermodynamics. One ofthese topics is air/water vapor mixtures or psychrometrics. Quite simply, many mechanicalengineering programs are graduating mechanical engineers who know nothing about therelationships among temperatures (both dry bulb and wet bulb), relative humidity, and humidityratio. They are not prepared to

The valueof the “just-in-time” approach is that students learn the fundamentals to address an immediate engineering need.As a result, they are more apt to retain the knowledge.
