This movement towards the integration of engineering withliberal arts would provide ―the knowledge, skills, and breadth of thinking necessary to perform inleadership roles in government, industry, and, more broadly, all aspects of society.‖8In 2000, the Accreditation Board of Engineering Education (ABET) introduced Criterion 3 (a-k)program learning outcomes as one of its required standards for accreditation of undergraduateengineering programs. These eleven standards outline specific skills and knowledge that studentsshould develop and be able to apply by the time they graduate, and

And most things cost money. The first year, we spent around $10,000 in total,including travel expenses. From our experience, that is about the minimum that is needed to kickstart a new Baja program. For us, the student union at the college sponsored the travel cost ofabout $3,400; the engineering department pitched in around $3,800 in registration fees andpurchasing of raw materials, tools, etc. The rest came from alumni and corporate/individualdonations.

Education of Scientists and Engineers states “A world ofwork that has become more interdisciplinary, collaborative, and global requires that we produceyoung people who are adaptable and flexible, as well as technically proficient”1. Today’sengineers must be integrators of knowledge, able to innovate and collaborate in aninterdisciplinary environment. Major change in the engineering education system is necessary ifit is to meet the needs of the nation and the world in the coming century. Recent national reportson engineering education 1,2,3,4,5 stress the need for flexible graduate programs focusing onadvanced practice and the world of work of the future.

However, this adverse fiscal environment is countered by agrowing sense among many members of Congress that the current education system is notproducing scientists and engineers in the quantity and quality required to maintain the economiccompetitiveness and defense capability of the country. Therefore a window may exist todemonstrate that education research may be a means to understand better this country’s highereducation system and to modify its outputs.

Our results revealed that theframework was a useful lens as we saw some common elements of the framework across allprograms that were also supported in the feedback from program directors when we asked themto specifically consider this perspective. However, it was clear that adaptations would be neededfor the framework to be fully applicable. Thus, graduate programs can use servingness to prompta focus on the student experience as part of their recruitment materials while ensuring that theunderlying intent of the servingness framework is preserved.Problem StatementSixteen engineering education

By critical thinking, we mean a systematic approach to problem solving,including complete and well-conceived problem formulation, generation of a solution, andcareful assessment of the solution. While this definition can be applied across a wide range ofdisciplines, it is somewhat narrow and operational. Many other definitions abound.

In addition, SBP participants made industry visits, completed math preparationcourses for the math placement exam, and explored student support programs on ASU’sMain Campus.After the Summer Bridge Program in1999, the program was reevaluated in terms of
