exposure to standards is essentialbefore students start upper-level undergraduate classes. In addition, this approach ensures thatthe standards are integrated and applied to significant engineering design projects.5ABET’s accreditation policy 5(d) for 2022-2023 requires that a college’s curriculumincorporates knowledge of standards in engineering design so that (d) a culminating major engineering design experience that 1) incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints, and 2) is based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work.Integrating an engineering standards module into the undergraduate curriculum meets the ABETrequirement. Other studies have also pointed out that exposure to

The plane had been securely attached to a mounting plate, and the task, for UT Tylerstudents, was to design a safe support structure that would attach to the mounting plate. Tosimulate this ideal attachment of the mounting plate a “tie” command was used. This ideal tiefurther focused the study of the FE analysis on the pole structure itself. Furthermore, since it wasestablished that the pole structure would be supported by a sturdy concrete foundation, thedecision was made to incarcerate the bottom of the pole. For an aesthetically pleasing look, theplane would be supported at a 15-degree tilt. This tilt will cause a change in center of gravity,thereby affecting the force distribution onto the

In 1994, “industry and academe realized that their concerns were thesame, [therefore] they began to mobilize through ABET, the organization responsible for settingthe standards of engineering education” (ABET, 2004, p. 1).

There are other project-based courses available, buttheir emphasis is traditionally placed on delivering a hardware solution—an approach that forcesstudents to focus on time-consuming hardware development activities.Software projects are different. To be successful, they require a team effort because the overalltask is too large for a single student to complete.
