To achieve completeness, data collection and verification was ac-complished by three researchers. Cluster analysis was conducted using PASW Modeler to groupinstitutions into like categories. Several algorithms were tested with the two-step algorithmyielding the best results in terms of cluster quality; and we were able to identify important clusterpredictors. In this paper, we provide two types of clusters related to

Qualitative assessment tools such as surveys andfocus groups are also being used for assessment purposes.The program uses direct and indirect measures to determine the attainment of programeducational objectives. The key methods used are: a)periodic alumni surveys, rating theirpreparation and the importance of program emphasis, their salaries, and their level ofprofessional and personal development activities. b) Employer Data: Surveys and focus groups,as well as advisory board panels provide feedback on employer satisfaction. c) Graduate Schooland professional school performance – including placement and graduation rates, as well assubsequent employment.

on a deep and fundamental level [W]e all know that you can get an A or a B in a class and not understand it. You can know it, but not understand it…And as a practicing engineer I know you have to KNOW it, you have to understand it fundamentally in order to use it in practice. So my goals now are to understand…you know that you need to know it. Period. And get it in your head and understand it. Fundamentally. So you can change any knob and understand what’s going on.Catherine recognizes that, in the workforce, engineers face problems that they never explicitlylearned to solve in their coursework. By understanding material thoroughly, they are able toapply concepts to situations far outside of anything that

One study participant stated, “Professional and ethical judgment goes along with students being able to develop critical thinking skills. I think using the developmental style works because it takes students time to learn and acquire those skills.” Another participant stated, “Teaching

Amongthe most common shortcomings of white papers observed in fall 2008 were:  Presenting an interesting idea but only cursory research.  Failure to locate readily available and clearly relevant literature or patents.  Presenting an existing product as if it were a new product.  Presenting notions, but not a clearly defined product.For the fall 2009 offering of SEC I, new grading rubrics, shown in Appendix B, were introduced,along with an explicit

However, some parts of the ABET “a to k” program outcomes were found to be relevantand hence were adapted for evaluation this course. A few criteria from biology education wereincluded to evaluate the lesser quantitative aspects. A modified ABET ‘a to k’ outcomes forevaluation of this course is given in Table 2.A few ABET outcomes could not be used for evaluating this course.

For the semester-long course taught at the home institution, the gradedistribution consisted of 4 As, 3 Bs, and 1 C with an average GPA of 3.4. For the CIE course, 3As and 1 B were given with an average GPA of 3.7. The GPAs are relatively high in bothcourses. There are two main reasons for this: first, both courses were senior electives and onlystudents with a strong interest in the topic enrolled in the course. Second, due to the smallstudent numbers in both
