It can beargued that implementing a suitable accreditation processes is more effective during thedevelopment phase of a degree program rather than if inserted through changes in an alreadyestablished program. Page 14.772.2In this work, the implementation of the new ECE program is divided into five closely interrelatedcategories: curriculum, personnel, facilities, budget, and institutional support. Each of theseissues is addressed and discussed in a separate section.CurriculumThe curriculum under consideration allows students to graduate as engineers after taking a totalof 128 semester credit hours distributed into

ABET also requires effective communication skills forundergraduate students. There are not unique ways to identify engineering talents/abilities instudent learning. Oftentimes, outside of academia, potential performance super stars areidentified by allowing contestants to sing a song; for example, on The American Idol reality TVshow.

The four pillars [1] of manufacturing knowledge: materials andmanufacturing processes; product tooling and assembly engineering; manufacturing systems andoperations; and manufacturing competitiveness provides a framework of educating the nextgeneration manufacturing engineers. Much thoughtful design and consideration has taken placefor manufacturing engineering education to adequately recruit and train the manufacturingengineering workforce [2-9].

In a previouslypublished paper at ASEE, it was shown that these courses had a positive impact on studentretention from the first to second year.7Another approach is to get students out into the workforce as early as possible to allow them toopportunity to experience the direct application of engineering in a real-world context.

Over time this allows for a particularly strong sense of trust to be developedamong collaboratives, as expanded upon below. Curriculum formulation in support ofengineering education, to an ABET approved level, necessitates faculty professionaldevelopment for science, mathematics and technology instructors as well as the “rare”engineering instructor on staff at the TCU. These levels of interaction eventually strengthensindividual collaborations between academics in the program, which heightens concern for thestudents on either side of the transition process. Additional benefits also accrue to the TCUs byavoiding the most costly segment of engineering education

One of the specific goals is to address needs ofpeople who have been largely ignored by the engineering community [12]. Over the last decade,humanitarian engineering programs and organizations have emerged in large numbers in the US.Additionally, humanitarian engineering programs typically tend to attract larger number of femalestudents than mainstream engineering programs. For example, a study at the Colorado School of minesfound that the percent of female engineering students who were participating in capstone projects that hada humanitarian aspect were significantly larger than those participating in

Seeking out thesealternatives and using such things as physical representation and inventive real world analogieshelps to keep the students interested in what is being presented. Gaining and keeping theattention of the target audience is an issue that does not necessarily disappear with age.Technical concepts are often dry and unexciting to those without training in technical fields orany interest in technology, thus attention levels remain an important issue in the professionalworld as well.
