asked to participate in a survey toevaluate the learning objectives (LOs) presented in Table 1. These learning objectives wereformulated to evaluate project-based learning activities implemented in this course. End resultswere filed with the department to support ABET re-accreditation of the Engineering Technologyprogram. Best practices of the course in teamwork, communication, and diversity werecommended by the panel members. Cheung, A. et al. [7] outlined the criteria, importance, andbenefits of ABET accreditation. Fidan, I. et al. [8] presented the data collected from their study onABET criteria and stressed on the importance of continuous improvement in STEM education. Table 1.

Fundamentally, the authors argued that historical trends, industrial forces, andlegislative action had led to three developments: (i) there are fewer engineering-specific courses;(ii) engineering courses are highly theoretical and emphasize

The developed habitus ofparticipants in this study, returning for their doctorate in engineering education, consists ofextensive human, social, and symbolic capital, as well as established dispositions.Participants made clear statements about the capital and dispositions they bring with them asthey return to academia after nearly a decade in the professional world. These professional non-traditional students provide examples of increased capital - time management, projectmanagement, recognizing diversity of ideas, leadership, and technical knowledge - that theygained from their professional experience. Time management was absolutely huge skill that I felt served me well, something that I brought to the table. I guess I

Student Programs staff in the College of Engineering& Technology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln are developing methods to get fromanecdotal information to tangible, measurable outcomes. The process is being guided by: i)ABET program outcomes (A-K)1; ii) the need for “quantitative” information; iii) ease of accessto students in time and place; iv) a goal of having an effective and efficient process for obtainingand interpreting results and; v) the desire to measure outcomes longitudinally.To accomplish this task, several surveys have been developed for completion by studentsthrough various stages of their engineering education. The surveys focus: a) “work”-relatedexperiences; b) international experiences; c) academic advising; d

Formaleducation includes continuing education programs, advanced degrees, and other directedprograms.2,3 Informal education refers to all other forms

a concrete experience to internal consideration (personal reflection) through answering the “Why should I learn this?” question in a way that the student is intrinsically motivated. In engineering education, this step is accomplished through showing the students why the new material is important to real-world engineering practice and the necessity of inculcation of this new material to be a successful engineer. Common activities include telling of stories, showing concrete pictures of the application, testimony of practitioners of the usefulness of the materials, and out-of-classroom experiences such as field trips. This step is intended to be the “hook” for student learning. 2. Information Transfer
