In addition, both society and technology have adynamic nature, which adds another level of complexity to their relation. Sincetechnology is the heart of the engineering profession, engineers’ interaction with thesociety, through their profession, becomes of paramount importance. Therefore,educational resources have been allocated towards educating engineers about the societalimpact of their practice of the engineering profession.

The primary issue involves notonly possessing valid contact information for graduates, but also maintaining a relationship withone’s graduates such that there is an inherent willingness to participate in the assessment processwhen an alumni survey is received. Unfortunately, low response rates, sometimes even in thesingle digits, are often the norm, making evaluation of the assessment data difficult
