The next two groups show graduation rates of approximately 32.3%. For comparison,the Higher Education Data Sharing (HEDS) Consortium, a group of private universities thatshare data, show the average five- year graduation rate for students entering and graduating inengineering is 42.0%.

Introduction In "Engineering and Art," our 2000 ASEE presentation in St. Louis, we noted that thenon-technical Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) 2000 "a-k" requirements appeared to describe more than the typical technical skills necessary forstudents to become competent engineering professionals. We suggested that these requirementsdescribed many of the characteristics of a well-balanced, productive, and creative individual,rather

To prepare students for the 21 st century, we must expandour time-proven, hands-on, project-centered teaching model. Most importantly, we must providephysical locations that allow students an opportunity to undertake “real world” projects –interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary projects that provide a seamless connection between thediscipline dominated academic sphere and the function dominated professional world. Studentsmust have access to the tools of modern research; access to state of the art technology andequipment and access to the growing database of engineering and

Title: How to conduct oral exams as a more equitable and inclusive alternative format for knowledgeassessmentDuring the 2020 pandemic, remote classes became the standard for engineering and technology coursesacross the country. Oral exams have been frequently deployed as a means to ensure academic honesty.This presentation explores, analyzes, and discusses multiple factors that makes oral exam a moreequitable and inclusive alternative format for knowledge assessment. The focus is on the loosely-structured, dialogue-type oral exams evaluated by the course instructor.Oral exams are known to help improve students’ oral communication skills and performance underpressure, but it is also known to be very time consuming and subjective.

Students have welcomed both thehands-on and personal contribution aspects of their projects. In many cases, projects have led toresearch extensions, additional community connections, and for many students, inspiration tocontinue with graduate studies. The objective of this paper is to report on the motivation, design,and results of the capstone course sequence in assistive technology. Specific projects, past andcurrent, are also highlighted.1.
