| Description: | The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) commissioned a team of researchers at the Penn State Center for the Study of Higher Education to assess the impact of the EC2000 accreditation criteria on student learning outcomes (Criterion 3 a-k). The study focused on seven engineering disciplines: aerospace chemical civil computer electrical industrial mechanical Completed in 2006, the project brought multiple sources of evidence to bear on this question and provided an evaluation model that can be replicated when ABET again evaluates the impact of its accreditation standards on student learning at some future time. Forty Institutions participated in the project. |
