Planning Only One Assignment to Assess Two of the New ABET Student OutcomesIntroductionSince the new changes in ABET’s student outcomes took effect in Fall 2019, programs havebeen modifying their assessment plans to address the latest changes. Adopting the new outcomesrequired program coordinators to review and update their assessment plans in order to ensureefficient and effective assessment. The new implementations provided clarification for some ofthe outcomes that previously had been vague and difficult to measure. For example, outcome3(d) “ability to function on multidisciplinary teams” was revised into its new 3(5) outcome “anability to function effectively on a team whose members, together, provide leadership, create

: Implementing Sophomore Cornerstone Courses in Electrical and Computer EngineeringMany engineering programs have significant project- and design-based courses in the freshmanand senior years. Freshman courses usually serve a dual purpose: a) making engineering a moreattractive study option for undecided students, and b) introducing the basics of technical andnon-technical skills, such as teamwork and project planning. On the other hand, seniors doingtheir capstone projects are expected to perform at a more proficient level, one that woulddemonstrate their readiness for entering the workforce as engineers.As will be discussed below, the project component in our freshman year-long sequence evolvesfrom minimally structured projects
