(CSAB), the Computing Accreditation Commission(CAC) was created, which deals with the accreditation of programs in computer science.Soon after the reorganization from ECPD to ABET, it was recognized that there was a need forthe accreditation of programs that are related to but different from either engineering orengineering technology. This led to the formation of the Related Accreditation Commission(RAC), which began to function during 1984-1985. The RAC name was changed to the AppliedSciences Accreditation Commission (ASAC) at the time of the merger of ABET and CSAB.With almost two decades of operational experience with the RAC and ASAC, it is mutuallybeneficial for ABET and ASEE to bring an update of the features of this organization to

In construction engineering education, the curriculum ranges from the means andmethods for a construction process, to line items required for estimating a task, the time it takesto schedule an activity, to the required temporary structures for the completion of a constructionproject. As such, faculty should be engaging with a variety of learning styles in developing theirclass activities. Students in Construction Management/Engineering, and Architecture programsgenerally prefer two learning styles; visual and kinesthetic [1]. For this reason, the researchersdecided to develop an educational prop to instruct the means and methods required to construct aone-story concrete building, focusing on formwork, and placement of reinforcement

The absorption spectra of fruit dyes, along with food dyes, were examined in contrastto the solar spectrum. Teachers demonstrate the working principle of DSSCs and integrate hands-on activities into the K-12 curriculum.

Under the current criteria, design is defined as "an experience that must grow withthe student's development," and "the design experience is developed and integrated throughout thecurriculum"1.
