UGSC: Undergraduate Studies Committee Haiyun Bian, Jay Dejongh, Travis Doom, Natsuhiko Futamura, Prabhaker Mateti *, Eric Matson, Karen Meyer, Michael Raymer, Ronald Taylor, Shaojun Wang
UGSC 2007 Charge • Programs with Sinclair • Articulation agreements with Clark State • Review BS CS and BS CEG for ABET • Oversee the transition to new programs • Enlarge selection of 400/600 courses • Computational Science Minor: Ralph Regula School
ABET • Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology • Engineering (EAC/ABET) • Technology (TAC/ABET) • Computing (CAC/ABET) • Applied Science (ASAC/ABET)
Ohio Accreditations: ABET EAC • Akron BSCEG [2002] • Case Western Reserve BSCEG [1971] • Cedarville BSCEG [2007] • Cincinnati BSCEG [1987] • Cleveland State BSCEG [2005] • Dayton BSCEG [2001] • Ohio Northern BSCPE [2001] • Ohio State BSCEG [2000] • Ohio State BSCSE [2000] • Toledo BSCSE [1988] • Wright State BSCEG [1984]
Ohio Accreditations: ABET CAC • Case Western BSCS [2001] • Cedarville BSCS [2007] • Cincinnati BSCS [2005] • Miami BSCS [2005] • Ohio State University BSCSE [2000] • Ohio University BSCS [2002] • Toledo BSCSE [1991] • WSU BSCS [1987]
ABET • Evaluation process is (supposedly) a friendly process, not adversarial • Evaluation based on a Self-Study and visit • Evaluators are Engineering + CS faculty and industry professionals • Accreditation is based onoutcomes assessmentnot bean counting
Eight Evaluation Criteria • Students, • Program educational objectives, • Program outcomes and assessment, • Professional component, • Faculty, • Facilities, • Institutional support and financial resources, • Program (CEG, CS, …) criteria
“ … even the ABET Gurus are often confused.” -- often heard Outcomes? Objectives?
Outcomes: what the students are expected to know/ be able to do. Objectives: what we are preparing the students for. Outcomes And Objectives
Outcomes (ABET Criteria 3a-k) • An ability to apply knowledge of math, science and engineering • An ability to design and conduct experiments as well as to analyze and interpret data • An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs • An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams • An ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems • An understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities • An ability to communicate effectively • The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context • A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long learning • A knowledge of contemporary issues • An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
