Most of the emphasis was placed on how the material could be betterand more efficiently taught, how the content was to be formed into courses, and where it wouldappear in an undergraduate curriculum. However, one significant analysis technique did appearduring this time. This technique focused on the stiffness matrix and the realization that thecomputer could aid in the analysis of structural

(ABET a) Commentary: A technical core of knowledge and breadth of coverage in mathematics, science and civil engineering topics is stressed in this outcome. Underlying the professional role of the civil engineer as the master integrator and technical leader are most of the following: mathematics through differential equations, probability and statistics, calculus-based physics, biology, chemistry, ecology

connections as well.An equally important line of inquiry for the present study is the role of reflection in experientiallearning. The research context, Kettering University, a technically-focused university with asubstantial co-op requirement for graduation (six terms), offers an important experientiallearning component that can then be integrated with academics. But it is not enough for studentsto simply have experiences. Dewey, an important early proponent of experiential education,claimed, “We do not learn from experience… we learn from reflecting on experience”6 andGibbs, in an oft-quoted passage, echoes: It is not sufficient simply to have an experience in order to learn. Without reflecting upon this experience it may quickly be

changes necessary for improved learning. Most faculty membersare already overloaded with teaching, research and service responsibilities, so even if theybelieve assessment is a useful activity they will often resist it as much as possible to avoid theextra workload. The key to overcome this resistance is to 1) make assessment an integral part ofthe basic course design structure and 2) provide templates and standard procedures for thefaculty to follow.Providing standard assessment procedures does not take away from faculty creativity andinvolvement in the assessment and continuous improvement process, it just focuses it on themost important items. The key is to communicate clearly the important information that must becollected for program

In order to familiarize students inan Unmanned Aerial Systems major with this possible change, a junior level course wasstructured around tracking sUAS in a way which mirrored certified aircraft. The course focusedon integration on an off the shelf autopilot into a four pound 3d printed quadcopter. Student ingroups of two were required to fly ten missions in outdoor, real world conditions. At the start ofclass, students within the class, created a course specific preflight checklist. Before each flight,there students were required to follow this checklist.

A presentation such as this for accreditation evaluation canbe seen as circumstantial, inferential and relies heavily on the perception of evaluators. In orderto counter such perception-based evaluation, it can be proposed that because the performance ofstudents in each course is already quantified as an integral element of their education, suchquantification should, therefore, be carried over to the evaluation process of education itself.The element of intuitive evaluation in the program evaluation process cannot and should

For example, in a 2012 Vanderbilt Universitygraduate level course on machine learning, students signed-up for and attended a traditionalresidency-based course per usual, but the course also integrated all or parts of existing MOOCs.Students in the course participated in a MOOC from Stanford University on Machine Learningwhile concurrently engaging in discussions during regular class time throughout the semester onthe Vanderbilt campus10. Leveraging MOOCs in such a traditional-online learning hybrid maybe a way to push pedagogical boundaries and enhance learning via a flipped classroom format,which similarly is an instructional approach that is receiving a great deal of attention.

impact of globalization.Teaching issues like cultural diversity to technical students can be a hard sell. It is not enough tosay that ABET requires it or that “Engineer 2020” desires it. We can provide lists of reasons whycertain organizations and task forces have come to see cultural understanding as an essential partof technical education. Still many technical students remain skeptical about the need to studytopics not directly related to their specializations in technology. The authors propose that thiskind of skepticism can be allayed in a classroom situation if students can be guided, through casestudies, to comprehend the connection between innovation and cultural understanding in a globaleconomy.

Our engineering students in their undergraduate education must take a minimum of eight humanity based courses, three of which must form a depth sequence of which at least one course in this sequence must be taken at an advanced level. These are not math, computing or technical business courses, but true humanity offerings. The belief is that a balanced curriculum provides the best education for our engineers. The reverse flow of having humanities students study technical courses is not as widelypracticed. Part of the hesitation for humanities students coming into technical course is therequirement
