Engineering Education The ABET Evaluation FormsThe key to understanding a successful ABET site visit is to understand what the PEV must reportin the evaluation forms. The main goal of the PEV is to determine if all nine ABET criteria havebeen met to some level of satisfaction, and to report any misgivings on the ABET PEV forms.Program Evaluator WorksheetThe program evaluator worksheet is used to check-off whether there are any concerns (C),weaknesses (W), or deficiencies (D) in the program, based on the expectations of each of thenine ABET criteria. These shortcomings (C, W, D) are defined by ABET as shown in Figure 2.The goal of the program faculty is to receive no weaknesses (W) or deficiencies (D) on the finalPAF

This analysis supported the development of a Learning ResourceCenter [4] to provide programming and tutors for non-ECS-LLC students.ConclusionWhile there is no statistical analysis or claim of causality with this type of analysis, visualpresentation of data in this manner allows for quick comprehension of a large amount ofcomplex data. The use of Sankey plots to drill down into a cohort to identify the possible effectof different factors on retention to graduation in engineering has become a powerful tool.References[1] C.

rapidly developing technologies and competitive economy require the continuoustraining and education of engineers throughout their careers. Engineers need new skills andcompetencies that will help them understand and meet new work-related requirements1. As moreengineers are employed in smaller companies and the work force in down-sized, individuals musttake on a wider variety of duties. In addition, since the number of students studying engineeringis decreasing2,3, the aging work force must be kept up-to-date in order to maintain high levels ofproductivity throughout their careers. In the U.S., the responsibility for this maintenance oftechnical competence and career growth has largely been the individual’s1. ABET EngineeringCriteria 2000 (EC2000

Over the past 50 years these fields havepredominately recruited students that have had an inherent interest in the fields, but one couldalso submit that there also existed a national fervor for science fueled by the momentum fromWorld War II and the space race. After 50 years this momentum has dissipated [2]. Thepercentage of science and engineering graduates relative to the total number

In reality, this is due to a lack of effective NA education methodology which can be solved by applying an elastic system with the best practices of: educational curriculum support, network technology, engineering and management, which can make the NA curriculum effectively adapt to the drastic changes of industry requirements. Consequently, college education in NA needs to adapt and promote viable curriculum innovation in order to improve the efficacy and preparedness of the next generation network administrators. 3URFHHGLQJV RI WKH 6SULQJ 0LG$WODQWLF 6HFWLRQ
