Accreditation and Learning Outcomes in Engineering Technology: Student-Centered Assessment Virginia R. Charter, PE Oklahoma State UniversityAbstract Engineering Technology programs are accredited through ABET. This accreditationincludes eleven general criteria for student learning outcomes. The criteria’s main purpose is toensure students are learning more than the technical skills typically taught in engineeringtechnology. Many of these learning outcomes required are then applied in a culminatingexperience, or capstone course, during a student’s final semester(s) in a bachelor’s degreeprogram.

Synchronous Distance Education in a Mechanical Engineering Technology CourseDecember 9, 2006Abstract: Instruction using the internet is not new and is being used more and more frequently. Some types of classes lend themselves very well to this mode of delivery; technical courses are more of a challenge. The need to use graphics and equations in the instruction and assessment increase the challenges of this type of instruction. Methods of delivery must be modified from face-to-face delivery, along with the methods of assessment. There are many facets to the education of an engineer or engineering technician. Some of the objectives of the engineer’s and engineering

TechnologyAbstract – Higher education is fast becoming a very competitive market with the plethoraof universities offering online degrees increasing across the country. Our university hasbeen offering distance education in various forms since the 90s. But the courses we couldoffer using distance technology of the 90s were limited due to the nature of our content –computer science and software engineering courses typically have technologyrequirements that could not be supported at that time. Now with high-speed internetconnections and new technologies, we are no longer restricted by our content. Besides theavailability of new technologies, there may also be pedagogical reasons to consider addingonline components into student learning, according to some
