If changes need to bemade in engineering education, it might be suitable to rethink of the philosophy of education ingeneral, and engineering education in particular. In this respect, we need to answer the followingquestions: Is there a philosophy of engineering education that many institutions of highereducation implement, develop curriculum based on it, and monitor its dynamics? If this philosophyexists what is the role this philosophy has played and will play in the creation of

As noted in Sheppard et al (1997) in describing thefreshman engineering design and product design program at Stanford, one of the instructors(Faste) noted: “some of the best ideas were initially labeled ‘stupid’.”9 There is a clear need tocreate a classroom environment that encourages divergent thinking and permits new ideas to beexplored.There are numerous examples of cornerstone (freshman/sophomore) design classes inengineering programs.

Engineering Education, 2014 A Mature Approach to AssessmentAbstractEducators can tend to focus on teaching rather than student learning. As such, assessing studentoutcomes is perceived as additional work not directly related to their craft and is an occasionalexercise required to meet the demands of program accreditors. This attitude parallels that ofsoftware developers who see the need to deliver a software project on time and on budget assomething that constrains their creative work. The Capability Maturity Model has been adoptedby many software organizations as a framework to help change attitudes and improve thesoftware development process. In this paper we show that the same principles can be applied tothe assessment
