The topic is totally self contained, and students typically are already interestedbecause of the glamour associated with the word “digital” these days. However, digital circuitscan be enormously complex and tricky. The goal of an introductory class must be to inspireinterest in students without giving too much information at once. Students must be dazzled, butnot intimidated. Page 22.1394.4Engineers are always tempted to employ the latest gizmo or most recent technology in theirdesigns.

Thisnecessitated engineers and field technicians to redirect several hundred thousand satellite dishes in order to pick up data fromthe other satellites. According to the New York Times (May 22, 1998) due to the urgency of the situation and the limitednumber of technicians available, one company, Wall Street on Demand, redirected its satellite using an interestingcombination of old and new technology--they found the position of the Galaxy IV

in the awareness of programoutcomes and their importance in the curriculum. Many students see them as overly generalizedstatements that have no bearing on the concepts they need to pass a given course. Thus,dissemination of the notion and value of program outcomes is a major hurdle for the faculty.This paper suggests that engaging students at the freshman level in the departmental programoutcomes is one strategy to foster a climate of their acceptance in later courses. Examples offreshman class assignments and projects that address specific program outcomes in a MechanicalEngineering department are presented.IntroductionIn the mid-1990’s, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) developeda new set of criteria for

The development of these PLOs was a collaborative effort between the faculty andindustrial partners of the µProE program. In addition to establishing the PLOs, a link was madebetween each PLO and a specific ABET outcome. Developing the linkage between programobjectives and ABET outcomes when initially creating a new program facilitates any subsequentchanges to the program objectives due to technology and societal needs. Developing this linkageat the beginning of the program development ensure that all ABET outcomes are addressed.Course DesignThe µProE program utilizes many existing courses from other engineering

Engaging students in evaluation of engineering situation through information literacyAbstractThe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requires that students inaccredited programs be able to, “recognize ethical and professional responsibilities inengineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact ofengineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts” (2018). Whilecovering the technical content of engineering courses, faculty sometimes forget our students’need to acquire these crucial non-engineering skills as a part of their preparation to enter into theprofession. This paper describes the process of integrating some of
