assessment. Periodic assessment of company reports and individual journalsencourage the student to improve themselves.IntroductionThere are two issues concerning assessment that engineering educators should address: 1)usingassessment as a process to improve Engineering Technology (ET) programs, and 2)developingtechnical assessment skills in students. The first issue is current and relevant to TAC-ABETprogram criteria. The second issue is less visible, but student assessment skills can also berelated to TAC-ABET as well as industry criteria.Assessment can be applied to both processes and products. Education, for example, is a process.As educators, one of our jobs is to assure and improve the quality of that process. As engineers,we have tools to do

An academic program can help students movebeyond negativity when it experientially encourages students to • Pursue their dreams and goals • Seek guidance and support for their objectives • Believe in themselves • Be prepared to believe in others • Focus on solutions rather than problems • Assume responsibility for their behavior and actions • Learn and grow from their experienceUnfortunately, when
