– Program OutcomesABET Criterion 2, Program Outcomes, consists of eleven units of knowledge or skill thatstudents are expected to acquire during their time in the program. As these appear in the criteriadocument2 in an alphabetized list, they have come to be known colloquially as a through k. Tosatisfy the criterion, a baccalaureate engineering technology program must demonstrate thatgraduates have: a. an appropriate mastery of the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of their disciplines, b. an ability to apply current knowledge and adapt to emerging applications of mathematics, science, engineering and technology, c. an ability to conduct, analyze and interpret experiments and apply experimental results to improve

After a warm upquestion, the discussion dealt with questions such as the organization of the course, working inteams, what they felt they had learned, and other parts of the experience. Four males and twofemales were in the first group and four males and one female were in the second. A summaryof the final course evaluations can be found in Appendix C.Results of AssessmentIn analyzing the pre-version of the Power Point assignment, more than 160 responses weregenerated for the first question.

(similar algorithms can be found in [3]).Each course is being given a requirement cost. The requirement cost of a course is being definedas the longest possible chain of prerequisites that contains the respective course. For example, ifcourse D has as prerequisite course C, and course C has as prerequisite course B, and course Bhas as prerequisite course A, this would make a chain of prerequisites of requirement-cost 3 forcourse A. The longest chain that can be found for course A will be its associated requirement-cost. To reflect a worst case scenario, for this cost, the corequisites are being treated asprerequisites.Based on the requirement cost, the algorithm will try to schedule the courses with the highestcost first, thus minimizing the

The discussions in this article illustrate how theeducation of manufacturing can be broadened to unconventional students. It seems thatmanufacturing can be a popular college course.
