Additional assessments are done with the Fundamentals ofEngineering exam, an oral examination conducted by the members of the Industrial AdvisoryCouncil, and an extensive written and oral exit survey.Although their learning outcomes vary, all of the engineering programs at the university assessstudents for ABET criteria 3 a to k. However, there is no uniform time during students’ study forassessing students for the professional outcomes (MDE outcomes 4, 6 to 10 and 12). Forexample, some programs assess students for ethics in regular courses throughout the curriculum,some use sophomore professional seminars, others do this assessment with juniors inprofessional seminars, some programs wait

This course, Engineering and Society,contains elements that are common among FYE courses such as the study of engineeringdisciplines, ethics, and a team-based design project, yet it uniquely focuses on the connectionsamong engineering/technology and society and the development of technology within a societalcontext. This allows us to integrate ethics and the engineering design experience with thetechnology and society content, which provides a platform for analyzing current technologicalsystems and exposes students to the breadth and diversity of engineering.
