The eight-step process is in accord with the requirements of the new ABET2000 criteria for accrediting Engineering and Technology programs. The process involves 1. Program objectives definition. 2. Primary assessment of Program objectives every two to three years. 3. Program outcomes definition and their relationship with program objectives. 4. Mapping program outcomes into the curriculum (courses). 5. Implementation of outcome competencies in courses and direct outcome assessment at course level each semester using direct measurement of student performance in each outcome measured in the course. 6.

development of these courses,along with feedback from the first graduating class, current students, and industry.IntroductionThe decline in enrolments in power engineering courses is well documented. Even amonguniversities with well-established electrical power engineering programs, the percentage ofcurricula requiring a course in energy conversion has declined1. At the Milwaukee School ofEngineering (MSOE), elective courses in power systems did not run last year due to a lack ofstudent interest.The demand for students with an interest in power systems has been strong as of late. In thebuilding electrical arena, this need was apparent when a group of 25 local design firms andcontractors approached MSOE and requested a design sequence to address a

Furthermore, project-based learninghas shown significant benefits in engineering domains, specifically in interdisciplinary fields such asrobotics which require hands-on experience to master the discipline adequately. However, designinga project-based learning experience to teach control theory in a hands-on setting can be challenging,due to the rigor of mathematical concepts involved in the subject. Moreover, access to reliable hard-ware required for a robotics control lab, including the robots, sensors, interfaces, and measurementinstruments, may not be feasible in developing countries and even many academic institutions in theUS.

In spring 2009, 2/3 of thestudents in IDE 301 had transferred into IDES/MDE from another program at the university.Some of these students, particularly those who developed broad interests3, would probably nothave stayed in engineering. Because adding a few students to an existing lecture course hasalmost no additional cost, the major costs are for the two core courses required for the MDEprogram, for the academic advisor, and for the program director – who also teaches in theprogram. By retaining students, these two programs earn much more in tuition than they cost

The existing computational MSE initiatives inupper-level courses focus mostly on using computational tools designed for research andindustry to solve problems [5], [6], [7], [9], [10]. The value of this approach is that students learnto use tools they may encounter in professional settings. However, these tools are designed forefficient problem solving and do not usually help students to better understand the underlyingphenomenon being modeled, making them suboptimal for an introductory setting.Here, we describe an introductory MSE course grounded in computational modelling from acomplex systems

For basic math skills such as algebra, lineand exponential equations, etc., student averages were near 70% in the sophomore level PIs,increasing to 80-90% for the junior and senior level PIs. However, while sophomore level PIsindicated that students could obtain an average of 63% correct in integration or 75% correct intrigonometry, those scores dropped to 42% for both subtopics in the junior and senior level PIs.The conclusion drawn from this data was that OUCE students were given fundamental mathskills in the freshman and sophomore calculus sequence, but they were quickly diminished assubsequent courses did not sufficiently
