TechnologyBuilding on a tradition of excellence in graduate education at Purdue University, the School ofTechnology offers graduate instruction leading to the Master of Science degree. The non-thesisdirected project master’s degree program provides an opportunity for individualized professionaldevelopment studies in technology, engineering technology, and technology education. The goalof the program is to provide an educational experience which will appropriately prepare anindividual for leadership positions in industry and education.The Doctor of Philosophy and the thesis Master of Science degree programs are administeredjointly with the School of Education and provide educational opportunities in adult education,instructional development, curriculum

The blog does not come at the end ofa unit or the end of the semester, it is a continuous process in which assessment goes hand inhand with curriculum and learning.The blog was worth 30% of the course grade - 10% for the ethics component, 10% for the groupproject, and 10% for the weekly reflections, which are the primary focus of this paper. Due totime and resources constraints, the blogs were graded using a simple rubric; the ethics andweekly reflections were graded together, with 2 points for completeness, 2 points for the qualityof reflection, and 2 points for critical

However, many of the ABETreviewers commented that this form was very helpful in the review process.III. Lessons LearnedIt is clearly possible to go through a structural change, create an integrated freshman/sophomoreintegrated curriculum, totally revise the junior/senior curriculum, and change the way you do assessment(to fit in with the ABET EC2000 approach) at the same time, for we have done it.We learned that making a large curriculum change shortly before an ABET visit makes preparationmore difficult, for there will be many potential problems with student transcripts.We strongly suggest that other universities set up good
