Recently, the state university system, that has our university along with 16other universities as its constituent universities, flagged the IET program as a low productivityprogram. The faculty and the Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) for the program were asked toprovide recommendations as to whether the program had the potential to

Standards-Based-Grading has been gaining inpopularity in K-12 education, and also has been seeing increased use in higher education. Withincreased pressure from ABET to measure achievement of student outcomes, Standards-BasedGrading provides a method to do that within the traditional course setting without having togenerate a separate set of data outside the normal course grading.
