, such as the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET), are incorporating elements of quality instruction into their accreditation requirementsthrough assessment3. In their Engineering Criteria 2000, ABET states that each accreditedengineering “program must have an assessment program with documented results. The assessmentprocess must demonstrate that outcomes important to the mission of the institution and theobjectives of the program are being measured.”In general, assessment begins when a program faculty establishes intended program outcomes andthen identifies the outcome indicators that will be used to measure these outcomes. Outcomeindicators can be broadly classified as qualitative and quantitative; examples include
when the departments of Integrated Scienceand Technology and Computer Science merged with the School of Engineering. The School ofEngineering now exists as the Department of Engineering (Madison Engineering).Madison EngineeringMadison Engineering was founded in 2005 with the first cohort of students starting in fall of2008. It was designed to be a non-discipline specific progressive engineering programunrestricted by the boundaries of traditional engineering disciplines. The program was proposedbased on the following description of the Engineer of 2020 by the National Academy ofEngineering: one who possesses strong analytical skills, strong communication skills, a strongsense of professionalism, creativity, and versatility1,2.

USMA for engineering professors with less than four years of teaching experience,i.e., civil, mechanical, aerospace, electrical, chemical, etc. T4E was such a huge success1 thatASCE decided to continue the workshop under the moniker ExCEEd with one caveat: theprogram is offered to only civil engineering professors with less than four years of teachingexperience. To date, there have been three offerings of ETW: in 1999 and 2000 at USMA and in2000 at the University of Arkansas with each session having 24 participants. There were nineobservers from the ASCE Program Design Workshop2 at USMA in 1999 and six observers (twoeach from ASME, IEEE, and AIChE) at USMA in 2000.Modifications to the original one-week T4E program have been relatively minor

The Walk and Draw applicationenables students to experience nature while documenting their findings. We have built anopen-source prototype system that supports students in conducting and documenting theirexperiences in varying environments, thereby providing the opportunities for self-reflection andsharing their experiences with their peers. Ideally, Walk and Draw will support students intheir lifelong goals of communication, exploration, and creativity. Walk and Draw

thedifficulties that they encountered in learning new technologies. As engineering students andstudents who have grown up with technology, we had erroneously assumed that they would havean enthusiastic “dig into it” approach to technology. For example, we had erroneously assumedthat they would download and learn to use the graphing software we had recommended for theirreports; many did not. When students were not able to create data graphs or access data on theirgraphing calculator, we did not have the supports in place for them to learn how to do this. Weaddressed this in two ways in the re-design of the course. First, from the beginning of the course,we asked students to evaluate their own expertise with the graphing calculator. We used this self
