In particular, Rogers [1] summarizes the outcome of the ABET and ASEE studies.The ABET study found that there were inadequate levels of preparation for graduates in problemsolving, communicating and working in teams, and understanding the culture in which they work.Furthermore, the ASEE study noted inadequacy in knowledge, skills, and abilities in engineeringpractice for graduates in areas such as project management, economics and business, teamwork,decision-making, and critical thinking. As such, different teaching approaches of engineeringeconomy are being applied to help with the preparation of

It builds heavily on our existing MS in SwE and supportservices, with adaptations and extensions to ensure both academic and career success of LiberalArts graduates, as well as creating multiple financial assistance opportunities, e.g., we expect tooffer 53 NSF-funded scholarships over 5 years (2015-2019) for academically talented studentswith financial needs. Other critical elements of this program include a summer bridge program,an on-going seminar series, and the on-going, independent program assessment team.1.
