Thus the evolution of the introductory courses serves tomaintain high expectations for students, as well as pushing the technological advancement of theupper division coursework. Through the discussion of the assessment of these courses andrelated curriculum changes, an effective process is illustrated that has been used through twomajor ABET evaluations, and that highlights the changing nature of the requirements establishedby assessment criteria.An Introductory Sequence of Courses is EstablishedA three semester introductory sequence in aerospace engineering was implemented concurrentlywith the 1999 ABET evaluation under ABET 2000 criteria

a recent process of curriculum reformin an undergraduate engineering program. Curriculum continues to hold a prominent spacein discussions around engineering education, yet there are limited exemplars of full scalecurriculum reform around the globe. At the University of Cape Town (UCT) in South Africa,the design of the new chemical engineering curriculum drew on contemporary shifts inthinking about the engineering profession [1, 2], as well as a focus on widening access to thedegree and coupling this with success. Furthermore, engaging with current deliberations onthe problem-based curriculum, this design took on a problem-centered focus [3]. Thiscurriculum design demanded a far more integrated mode of course delivery than is typical ina

level. To address these objectives, a self-administered questionnaire was employed, adapted, and validated for the context of engineeringstudents in Chile. The questionnaire covers the perception of incorporating gender perspectivesin a higher education institution across three dimensions: (1) Institutional sensitivity to genderperspectives, (2) Integration of gender perspectives into the curriculum, and (3) Awareness ofgender inequalities in the classroom. The results allow for the characterization of the sample'sperception regarding incorporating gender perspectives into their engineering educationprograms. Furthermore, it is worth noting that statistically significant differences exist betweenthe perceptions of men and women concerning the

Each session necessitated extended activity timeand some simplification of technology to facilitate in-class discussion more rapidly.During summer 2024, we plan to prepare a new consensus standard revision (Module 3)approach using an activity-based round-robin testing methodology. Round-robin testing asksstakeholders to each conduct a protocol for the evaluation of a standard and to collaborativelydiscuss discrepancy among findings in the revision of the standard.

This is often the case in chemicalengineering due in part to the accommodation of employer expectations, requirements fromaccreditation bodies and the multidisciplinary, integrative nature of an engineering degreewhich depends on students acquiring a wide range of attributes, and which focuses onapplication and relevancy [1], [2].

This means using this technologyalong with cooperative learning and other proven, effective pedagogies.12,13Pedagogical approaches to be used in these curriculum materialsToo often students are given too much direction in the learning process.

AbstractElectrical Engineering students usually have to wait a long time before acquiring the mathematics andphysics prerequisites required to take their first technical courses and even when they take courses such ascircuits, electromagnetics and digital logic, they are not given an opportunity to develop a system-levelunderstanding about the interrelation of the topics that they study in these courses. In fact in many electricalengineering programs, students have to wait until their senior year before
