Thus far, the level of interest has not been overwhelming. Some have suggested that the incentive is not great enough, so the program is being re-evaluated to make it more attractive to experienced faculty who would be interested in providing mentoring in the College.• The College’s Teaching Effectiveness Committee is the major body that drives teaching improvement. The committee organizes workshops, seminars, and faculty forums that address a variety of issues related to science and engineering education (e.g., teaching with technology

The influence of parentsor relatives, expected salaries, and curiosity were among the most reported reasons.Surprisingly, less than three percent of responses pointed to career or vocational assessmenttests, professional orientation, or academic-related interventions as determinant factors.Moreover, when asked about the kind of jobs they understood were performed by engineers intheir chosen fields of study, a substantial proportion of respondents denoted incongruity and anarrow view of the role of engineers. This mismatch is considered a reason for the observednumber of early program transfer applications, low academic performance, and late attritionamong students.In an effort to address the perceived low level

engineering schools or Canadian faculties ofengineering and tend to employ faculty with training in STS or related disciplines. They aremandated to teach STS concepts to undergraduate engineering students, often fulfilling specificaccreditation requirements. The embedded STS department model can thus be understood as aresponse to these requirements chosen by a small number of engineering programs from among avariety of other avenues of response. Perhaps the most common response chosen has been torequire engineering students to fulfill the non-technical accreditation requirements by enrollingin ethics courses or writing courses offered by departments outside of engineering. Anothercommon response has been to require that engineering professors include

In 1989 the School ofEngineering and Mines (SEM) at the University of North Dakota (UND) established a distanceeducation program to deliver Bachelor of Science engineering degrees to employees of participatingcompanies. This program has recently expanded into open enrollments and is offered to diverse andgeographically remote students. The program is now called the Distance Engineering DegreeProgram (DEDP) and it includes the Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical and Civil Engineeringdisciplines.

suspect that liberal arts institutions inparticular focus on teaching non-technical knowledge and skills, which are also valued byindustry [1]. A more balanced educational experience might be particularly relevant given thelarge number of folks with engineering degrees who work outside of engineering occupations;the NAE estimated that as of 2013 there were 65% of all degreed engineers who worked inoccupations not considered engineering [41]. The ABET EAC program criteria add additionalcurricular constraints on specialty degrees, with the majority of the identified aspects relating totechnical issues; programs accredited under the general criteria do not face these additionalrestrictions [42].

But with this said, success in a curriculum doesnot always relate to the number of courses available, and often it is the content and delivery thatmeters the student’s progress.The beginning (or entry level) computer course uses an “Arduino” style computer board to teach‘C’ programming and embedded hardware.

These difficultieshave several origins, and result in challenges in both the design and implementation of anassessment program which is simultaneously meaningful, implementable, and sustainable withmoderate resources. The following guiding principles appear helpful: • Select a subset of courses and learning outcomes on which to focus (rather than attempting to measure and assess everything) • Carefully relate the learning outcomes from courses and projects to the overall educational outcomes • Obtain a complete set of measures for the outcomes, without excessive
