ABET statesthat by graduation students should have "a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage inlife-long learning."3At The Ohio State University’s Engineering Education Innovation Center (EEIC), students areoffered a wide range of engineering courses through the first-year engineering program and asenior-year multidisciplinary capstone program.
