. Differentmethods for evaluating courses under the ABET 2000 criteria have been discussed. Themethodology outlined in this article is designed to provide a quantitative method for comparisonof options for changes within a course as well as a comparative basis for different courses. TheIEE course is used as an example of how this methodology works.Discipline specific introductory courses such as an Introduction to Environmental Engineeringplay an important role in meeting the new criteria because they offer the flexibility of contentand the ability to experiment that core courses do not. Specifically, the ABET 2000 criteriaspecifies that graduates be able to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global andsocietal context and to have a

The creation of this course was meant to satisfy several emergent university opportunities andneeds. First, it provides a valuable education/training opportunity for students in a relevant and timely field.With the soaring popularity in UAS, graduates with general experience in UAS/aerospace design and operationsare in high demand.

priorgenerations could not imagine. The current generation of students will do the same as disruptivetechnologies change the problems they tackle and the technologies they use. To avoidobsolescence, new graduates need to become lifelong learners and continuously learn suchcompetencies as design thinking, systems thinking, strategic thinking, and teamwork.Kuh (2008) identified “helping America’s extraordinarily diverse students reap the fullbenefits— economic, civic, and personal—of their studies in college” as “what is arguably themost important challenge in higher education today” (p. 1). Preparation of students to enter theprofessional workforce has traditionally emphasized the development of technical skills.However, studies have shown that when some

A greater fraction, being goodat anything they do, find themselves following their classmates, the majority of whom areenrolled in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. They hear too often that these disciplines aremuch more “general” than A.E., and that A.E. is “too hard”. These superstitions are general, bothworldwide and through the decades. In the mid-90s, attrition rates climbed as bad news keptpouring in from the traditional employers of A.Es.Getting into TroubleThe Introduction to Aerospace Engineering course has existed for a long time, intermittently.

In recent years, there has been ashift toward involving undergraduate students in mentored research activities.1 The benefits andrewards for the students, faculty mentors, the institution, and the greater scientific andengineering community have been recognized. However, there are many challenges toimplementing a successful teaching research program at the undergraduate level.

Nearly three quarters of taxpayers pay more in FICA taxesthan they do in income tax. These taxes determine the social security benefits that an individualcan receive, and the earning record determines whether an individual qualifies for Medicare.This paper’s analysis is presented from the perspective of a graduating engineer, so that it can beused by faculty in their classes. The case can be analyzed by students individually or in teams. Ituses key concepts and tools from engineering economy. Because
