In this paper, we will report on past graduates’ perceptions of those“personal and professional development” activities, gathered via a survey of alumni. We seek tounderstand which activities the past students feel have been advantageous to them, and whichmight be less so. The goal of the paper is to provide thinking points for other scholarshipadministrators who might wish to consider inclusion of similar activities.IntroductionThe SEECS (Scholars of Excellence in Engineering and Computing Studies) scholarshipprogram, as approved and funded by the National Science Foundation (Award No., 1107015,1153250, 1643869, and 2221052).

IntroductionInterest in valid methods for assessing student outcomes has grown in higher education. This isespecially true in engineering education as a consequence of the new Engineering Criteria 2000(EC 2000) requirements that became fully effective starting from the Fall 2001 visitation cycle.The new EC 2000 criteria represent a major shift in the philosophy behind accreditation ofengineering programs. Instead of focusing on resources and inputs provided to an engineeringprogram, the new accreditation criteria emphasize student learning, i.e., outcomes.

experience is not credible? This is often witnessed in computerprogramming. What is the best approach to teaching programming? There have been groups thatadvocate that you use a language that is designed to teach programming. Others advocate that youteach a language used by a relevant community to help the students adapt to that community. Whilethis might seem minor – consider the idea that there are computing programs in existence in theUnited States that taught COBOL and only COBOL for more than twenty-five years. Also considerthe idea that there is a body of discussion about how COBOL is the worst language to use forteaching programming.
