achievement. Assuch, the Civil Engineering Program Criteria (CEPC) has been revised based upon both the firstand second (current) editions of the BOK5,6. The relationship between the BOK outcomes andABET accreditation criteria is presented in Appendix H of the BOK Report2 and most recentlyreported on by Estes et al5.Note that ABET2 has proposed a variety of changes to the General Criteria, with perhaps themost significant changes being to Criterion 3 Student Outcomes. While the current ABETcriteria are considered in this paper, the proposed new Criterion 3 is provided in Appendix B.4for reference. The proposed changes to Criterion 5 Curriculum are more editorial thansubstantive and, therefore, not included.Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) ExamThe FE

twoproblematic ideologies at work in engineering education: an over-reliance on Outcomes-BasedEducation (OBE) and an emphasis on “evidence-based” research and practice, where “evidence”is narrowly defined following the medical model of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), nearlyimpossible to execute validly in educational settings. The changes remove or weakenrequirements for educational breadth, including global and social context, engineering ethics, andlifelong learning.One of the stated rationales for these changes is that some outcomes are difficult to assess. To thecontrary, the engineering education community has invested a great deal of time and effortinnovating assessment methods to create increasingly valid, concise, and easy to implement

The proposals were evaluated using the “Client: ProposalEvaluation Rubric.” Appendix B provides an example use of this rubric, containing the feedbackprovided to one of the programming teams. This rubric was used formatively, with teams notpermitted to go forth into the code development phase until they satisfactorily addressed alldesign-oriented shortcomings via submission of a revised proposal, which was also evaluated viaapplication of the Proposal Evaluation Rubric.For purposes of implementing a critical design review process, teams presented their applicationsin a science fair exhibition-type format, illustrated
