sufficient.The third level of negotiating comfort in difference is fostering an atmosphere of trust. In otherwords, awareness of difference leads to dialogue which serves to clarify and increaseunderstanding of difference, which in turn, fosters trust. Through dialogue, we learn that we allhave the students’ best interest in mind, regardless of our beliefs about how to best equipstudents with the proper skills and knowledge to be successful upon graduation. So, if we trustthat both engineering and humanities faculty are student-focused, rather than personally focusedtechnical skill development), it is not in the best interest of this type of program for one group to convert another.Rather, through trial and error and experimentation with various

student’s graduate advisor and graduate study committee. The advisor andcommittee must evaluate the student’s abilities relative to each ABET outcome and must identifythe evidence used as a basis for the evaluation. If significant weaknesses are noted in any area,the committee can mandate remedial action to strengthen the student’s abilities. We developed aform that the committee is to use to document the formal evaluation and evidence. The formalevaluation generally takes place during the student’s degree defense; but, the evaluation ofabilities must be kept in mind throughout the student’s tenure in the program.This concern was also alleviated somewhat by the fact that the non-engineering student mustcomplete a large number of undergraduate pre

Results from theassessment of learning outcomes related to MATLAB programming have been somewhatdisappointing so far. These assessments indicate the just over half of the students attain aminimum capability to write MATLAB programs to solve simple quantitative problems. Withthese assessments in mind, a number of changes have been made in the portion of the course thatprovides MATLAB instruction. We have also experimented with different MATLAB texts touse

Itwas explained that the primary focus of the course would be on public policies, but the studentswere asked to keep in mind that some of the techniques used to influence public policydevelopment can also be used to influence corporate policy development.Several articles were given to the students to clarify the purpose of this course. The substance ofthese articles is discussed earlier in this paper under the heading “Why Engineers NeedInformation about Public Policy.” Public policy information sources were identified including theweb sites of professional societies.

Ideally we would have given students a hard problem and then follow themfor three weeks as they worked on it, but this is hardly realistic. With these goals in mind, wedecided to give them a complex problem statement and have them do the first steps towardsproblem structuring. This would allow us to begin to assess how they were developing initialreasoning and inquiry skills. A sample problem is
