Assessing Experimental Design in Civil Engineering Nathan Johnson University of Minnesota DuluthAbstractOne requirement for ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accreditationfor undergraduate Civil Engineering is related to experimental design. Determining andimplementing an appropriate assessment metric for this requirement presents challenges in thelaboratory setting due to the inexperience of students and interrelated experimental variables tobe modified within the constraints of equipment capabilities. A straightforward implementationof an experimental design assessment is presented for a junior-level CE course, Hydraulics

Also, in high school, I enjoyed and did well in my math and science courses. Part of using the Vocational Rehabilitation program through the VA is an aptitude assessment. My scores on that test also determined that engineering was best suited for my skill set and understanding. • I like breaking things to see how they work as well as building and creating new things and used to think math was fun. • It seemed like a good route for being a pilot in the military. • My associates degree was in engineering technology and I wanted to further that
