The impetus for this new program, the program details, and a summary of assessmentresults obtained over the first three semesters, are presented in this paper.The ABET conducted program reviews for the chemical engineering program at Texas A&MUniversity-Kingsville (TAMUK) most recently in 2015 and 2021. In 2015, the ABET programreview resulted in a concern that the topic of process safety and process hazards required greateremphasis in one or more courses in the chemical engineering program. This concern wasaddressed by incorporating process safety and process material hazards into two

They recognized that some students intheir sample population might be sponsored and thus are obligated to return to their nativecountries, although this factor was not evaluated in their paper. Sponsored students have someadvantages over non-sponsored students. Khanal and Gaulee [2] found that navigating anuncertain future and handling immigration policies in the host countries are two significant post-graduation challenges for international students. Sponsored students with a promised facultyposition in their home countries do not need to be concerned with these issues. Interestingly,Agbonlahor et al.

Some were concerned that thephrasing could require that probability and statistics must be taught by civil engineering faculty,and others advocated for a much broader treatment of risk and uncertainty, to include reliability.The Task Committee recognizes that this criterion, as initially proposed, might be interpreted torequire the teaching of probability and statistics within civil engineering departments. Therefore,the Task Committee moved these topics to the foundational, mathematics-related criterion. TheTask Committee also relocated the topic of risk, associating it with

However, engineering graphics is highlydependent on current CAD technologies as well as current engineering practices in industry.Engineering graphics courses are constantly evolving and universities are including new andinnovative topics based on current industry standards. These changes lead to new courses atuniversities and cause transferability issues with already existing courses in pre-engineeringprograms. Therefore, engineering graphics courses in pre-engineering programs need to changeto meet the new requirements of the transfer schools.At the University of Wisconsin-Marathon County

Both faculty and students were challenged to devise new ways of coping andadjusting to a new reality, making efforts to continue learning and teaching effectively, whiletrying to curtail the threatening effects posed by COVID-19. Unfortunately, COVID-19 did indeedhave some negative and damaging effects to long-standing educational processes, systems, andmodes of operation.

engineering curriculum, each instructor is expected to include some ethicsmaterials in their course. This is usually done by incorporating ethical components or modulesinto the course materials. Problems with this method may arise due to lack of coordination overthe integration of the ethics across the curriculum (EATC). 7 But the majority of problems withEATC stem from three faculty objections.The first of these objections concerns comfort level. Faculty are unprepared to teach material inwhich they’ve had no formal training. They are uncomfortable going from the traditional lecturestyle format in the classroom to a more open discussion format that ethical problem analysisrequires. Second, faculty using this model have no ownership of the ethics

promotion can be focused primarily on scholarly activity andespecially on the level of funding for that activity. Teaching may be viewed as being ofsecondary importance, able to influence tenure and promotion decisions negatively if inadequatebut unable to improve a faculty’s position greatly even if clearly superior. Thus, when makingdecisions concerning the appropriate allocation of effort, especially in light of increasingcompetition for decreasing funding resources, faculty may feel compelled to limit their allocationto teaching to that needed to maintain the average level for their academic unit or institution.Even in those institutions where the emphasis on research is less intense, the amount of teachingand service responsibilities may be
