ABET should allow accreditation of engineering programs of the same name at the baccalaureate and graduate levels in the same department to recognize that education through a “professional” master’s degree produces an AME, an accredited “master” engineer.Recommendation 2 refers to a provision in the ABET Accreditation Policy and ProcedureManual, which states, “Engineering programs may be accredited at either the basic or advancedlevel … A program may be accredited at only one level in a particular curriculum at a giveninstitution.”5 This restriction is imposed only by the Engineering Accreditation

In fact, the need for timemanagement to accomplish the capstone project becomes very apparent to the student,more so than what is required of the classroom studies. The main difference is that thestudents must now provide sufficient time to not only complete the solution to a problembut must now reflect on what the problems are.

as they apply to K-12 education. In 2013, the Next Generation Science Standards reflected the growing interest in K-12 engineering by integrating it with the science curriculum. In contrast to the prior standards, the NGSS explicitly included engineering as a foundational component of the curriculum, with engineering concepts included in the requirements for each grade level. In fact, the final NGSS document body included over three hundred uses of the word engineering. Taking advantage of recent research into science learning, the standards also propose a new view of teaching science. Whereas the earlier standards heavily emphasized science content knowledge, the new standards took a more holistic view of science. Science education
