As data is collected, ABET has an opportunity to develop means for sharing both descriptive and evaluative data to the broader engineering higher education community. If accessible this data can provide important benchmarking and best practices guideposts, and improve the learning environments of tomorrow’s engineering graduates.  A Pilot Case with Industrial Engineering and Engineering Economy Data To illustrate the proposed mode and potential impact on the SSR, self study reports

As ameasure of practical significance, the experienced instructor’s assessment of student quality isthat the latter class was on average a weaker group—which makes their better performance evenmore significant. The students learned the material in a better way using modern tools, in a waythey will remember better, and in a way that will help them get a job.

However, the ability of institutions to meet these goals in fiscally austere timesis proving to be difficult for all but those with the financial resources to acquire costly industrialgrade equipment.In order for manufacturing and vocational programs to survive, they must adapt and becomecost conscious. And, when cost-saving measures are necessary, it is important to ensure that theprogram will still satisfactorily prepare students to enter the job-market as qualified workers.While it may not be necessary for graduates in some program areas like engineering todemonstrate proficiency in the use of specialized manufacturing equipment, it is
