It also benefits the students to get an insidelook at Koch. To realize this outcome, Koch personnel must meet to discuss and evaluatethe students. When the students were interviewed, the following five criteria were used:motivation, practicality(hands-on ability), communication, creativity, and teamwork. Inaddition to these five traits, we probably should consider leadership skills, oralpresentation skills, written communication skills, and work ethic. The results of thisevaluation was shared with the students, so they can benefit even more from theirsummer experience.Student Evaluation of the

General Education Requirement in the Physical Sciences.I. IntroductionIn typical Engineering programs, there is desire to integrate technical education with traditionalliberal arts studies to educate a well-rounded engineer. Those studies include written and oralskill development, exploration of human existence through studies in philosophy and religion,and analysis of ethical issues. The liberal arts studies are usually an integral part of anengineering curriculum.Through this integrated approach to technical education, the Engineering graduate is prepared tobecome a responsible member of the technical community, and society as a whole.Unfortunately, there is fragmentation of knowledge in the undergraduate liberal arts experiencebrought

A majorobjective of the case studies is to expose students to some aspects of the modern practice ofengineering, namely: teamwork, problem and data analysis, design creation, presentation anddefense of a designed solution, and professional ethics. The case study work is carefullystructured to engage students in the engineering activities of critical thinking and analysis of acomplex problem. Highly technical aspects of engineering requiring training not yet received bythe students are avoided.A common case study used in engineering training is

The EAC of ABET requires that engineering programs must demonstrate the fulfillment of a set of criteria. One of those criteria, Criterion 3 Program Outcomes, requires that engineering programs must demonstrate that their students attain eleven outcomes, often referred to as „a-k‟.
