example ofthe difficulty is that students may properly assess a situation based on proper ethicalreasoning, but there is no assurance that they will actually act ethically. Some defineprofessional skills as how we perform in professional settings, but how do educatorsdevelop and assess such skills? Does the educator possess professional experience and aprofessional engineer (PE) license? Even a PE needs a methodology understood by all tocontinually and properly assess professional practice skills. Table 2 ABET Criterion 3 (a-k)Demonstration (incl.
