ABET/EAC visit under EC2000. In addition, we share how the insights gained willbe used for continuous improvement of our engineering programs.I. Important Differences Between Mason Engineering Programs and Traditional SchoolsThe undergraduate engineering degree programs in the School of Information Technology andEngineering of George Mason University recently underwent an ABET visit under the EC2000criteria. The four undergraduate degree programs that were assessed were: civil andinfrastructure engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, and systemsengineering. George Mason’s engineering program is non-traditional in several important waysthat influence the preparation for and compliance with the new ABET criteria. In this

Theprogram took place exclusively in an on-campus format, and also featured a required residentialcomponent and additional engineering activities for the students. The program’s duration was 4weeks, and students were expected to improve their math placement by at least one semester. Itis expected that improving their math placement will reduce the student’s time-to-graduationwhich should in turn improve retention rates and eventually graduation rates. Data from the2009 and 2010 cohorts have been collected and analyzed to judge the effectiveness of theprogram with respect to both improving the students’ math

to lead outside the formal curriculum    AbstractLeadership has historically been part of professional engineers’ work life, but until recently itwas not integrated into the formal engineering curriculum. With the support of the NationalAcademy of Engineering and Engineers Canada along with regulatory pressures from theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology and the Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board, committed engineering educators with ties to industry have begun to takeup this curricular challenge in greater numbers. Unfortunately, many of these programs touchonly a small segment of the student body because they remain on the periphery of engineeringfaculties. As a result, we know little about the

For example, each team prepared a needs assessment andmission statement for their widget project. Each team interviewed the professors in the role ofcustomer, and prepared a formal statement of work that was shared with the rest of the class inbrief presentation.
