also evidence in the computer science literature to support these points. For thethird of these points, if our experience is representative of other institutions with ABET-accred-ited computer science programs, then the observations made in this paper may be of some inter-est to them.With the preceding three points in mind, it is reasonable to consider some ways to reduce theamount of time spent on ABET accreditation as well as to increase the benefits that the processproduces. After providing some background data, this paper presents four possible alternativesfor improving the ABET process.2. BackgroundOur department offers degrees in both computer science and software engineering. Both of ourdegrees are accredited by ABET, and have been so
. Students undertaking this exercise are working toward a metricbased on sound engineering design, in contrast to the victory-based metrics typically associated(in the students’ minds) with robotics competitions. The proposed format allows students a trulyopen-ended experience, since they must develop problem specifications themselves. Instructorsupport is required to assist in the development of an appropriate problem as well as during thedesign phase, but a well-prepared instructor can look forward to an extremely beneficial exercisethat strongly motivates students and provides substantial dividends for the students in regards torobotics and engineering design in general.IntroductionRobot design is a challenging topic to teach in a traditional
dimensions of the GrandChallenges and helps them to identify what they are interested in focusing their work on in thefuture.To help students learn more about the interdisciplinary Grand Challenges for Engineering and toidentify or confirm their interests, students first participate in an introductory activity to create anoverview of the Grand Challenges, and then explore the challenges in each of five GrandChallenge theme areas over the course of several weeks. In the introductory activity, studentswork in groups and utilize various resources to create a mind map for one of the assigned GrandChallenge theme areas to show the specific challenges the world is facing and how they arerelated. Students are encouraged to think broadly about the

The majority of students were intending to major in Electrical Engineering andComputer Engineering, yet the program was inclusive and involved students intending to majorin Mechanical Engineering, Biology, Physics, Chemical Engineering, Kinesiology, and others.Although possibly looking at different career fields with their majors in mind, these studentshave strong desires to better prepare themselves for applying, interviewing, and experiencing aninternship. Many students had not had an internship before and many have not even had theconfidence to apply.The
