mathematics.Because many of the characteristics of industrial engineering and engineering managementgraduates that are desirable in industry also apply to mathematics and science program graduates,it seems reasonable that the ABET 2000 Criteria can be applied directly to mathematics andnatural science degree programs.This paper presents results of implementing the ABET 2000 Criteria in a School of Mathemat ics,Science, and Engineering in a small, liberal arts based institution. The implementation is in thecontext of developing an industrial engineering program and long range plans for engineeringmanagement at the graduate level.IntroductionThe University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) is a small, predominately Hispanic, Catholicinstitution in San Antonio, Texas

When used in an academic setting it provides the opportunity to introduce and practiceproject management skills involving planning, estimation, tracking and identifying opportunitiesfor continuous process improvement. As the ideal number of team members on a Scrum projectis 5-9 developers, Scrum maps well from a size perspective for the typical student teamcollaborating on a course or capstone project. While Scrum has specific project roles andceremonies, it is intentionally non-prescriptive on the development practices to be used in theexecution of the project. In a software development project these practices are realized in thefamiliar software engineering life-cycles activities of requirements-analysis-design-code-test-deploy. In an

attend orientation lectures that introduce the students to core componentsof human-centered design. Many instructors working with students in the service-learningprogram stress the importance of identifying stakeholders. Earlier in the semester, students hadan opportunity to receive lecture credits by attending a workshop on understanding stakeholdersand the social context. Therefore, I designed a lesson plan targeting five learning objectives: 1. Assess needs found in a local community organization 2. Evaluate which problems are good design problems 3. Articulate core considerations of working with community organizations 4. Identify assumptions about which stakeholders should be consulted 5. Revise team processes through

Atthis time, our group was vaguely aware that TAC of ABET was planning a major shift inaccreditation style. We were also aware that EAC of ABET had already undergone such change.As all our energies were focused on our immediate challenges, we were not very attentive toTC2K. However, that was about to change. Page 7.978.2 Proceedings of the 2002 American Society of Engineering Education Annual Conference &

Recommendations for futureclassroom/enrichment co-teaching emphasize co-planning and co-teaching the hands-on- andminds-on-intensive engineering design process lessons within STE units.Introduction Co-teaching is when teachers work together to prepare to teach, teach, and reflect onteaching and learning.

On other occasions, students felt the need to spendmore than was necessary, simply because they had the budget available. Faculty identified thiswasteful spending as an opportunity to shift to an entrepreneurial budget model. The new modelallows faculty to manage the overall project allocation funds more strategically, while providinglearning opportunities for students through the incorporation of entrepreneurial concepts intoproject design.Because of insufficient planning, poor time management, or lack of accountability

Timing relative to COVID is mentioned because themovement to online learning impacted the trajectories and schedules for teaching change efforts.Both of these CCTs started their work by designing a change plan that outlined the issues theywanted to target and then started to work towards those goals by making changes in the targetedintroductory courses. The computer science department joined the project more recently, and itsCCT is still working to design its plan for change.Teaching change efforts spearheaded by the math and physics CCTs primarily focused on thestructure of recitations.

Industrial Engineering (MIE) in the COE has modified itscurriculum to include a course, which addresses essential life and career skills to its students intheir final semester. The course addresses challenges ranging from how to deal with financialpressure, seeking career opportunities, time management, workplace etiquette, and othernecessary skills. It consists of five different modules: Financial Planning, Effective Job Hunting,Accelerating Your Career, Learning Never Stops, and Entrepreneurship. Modules utilizemethodologies from experiential learning theory to enhance student learning and contribute tothe body of knowledge of teaching methods in STEM.An initial assessment was performed to measure the impact of this course and its modules.Metrics

Questions 10 and 12 on the P.E.S. ask, “How muchmath do you plan to take in high school,” and “How much physics do you plan to take in highschool,” respectively. In spring 2009, the number of mentees planning on taking a greaternumber of years of math and physics increased from the initial survey to the final survey, whilethe number planning on taking the minimum number of years of math and physics dropped.
