Multidisciplinary Experiences For Undergraduate Engineering Students, Fred W. Depiero, Lynne A. Slivovsky

Electrical Engineering

Multidisciplinary (MD) team skills are of increasing importance in industry, and are required for programs that are ABET accredited. This can be challenging to provide, particularly for programs with high unit counts and a large student body. We have responded by establishing a multidisciplinary graduation requirement across the College of Engineering at Cal Poly. This requirement is mandatory. It may be satisfied by various curricular and co-curricular routes, easing throughput issues compared to having a single venue. In the paper we describe activities that satisfy the MD requirement, our general approach and assessment methods.

Netexam: A Web-Based Assessment Tool For Abet2000, Fred W. Depiero

Abstract ⎯ NetExam is a web-based testing engine. In addition to automated testing and grading capabilities, NetExam computes statistics that are tied directly to program outcomes, for ABET2000 assessment purposes. NetExam provides advantages over scantron-style testing as it also presents statistics on program outcomes on the web. This facilitates review and black board-style comments by program constituents. Also, all of the exam generation, grading, statistics and program assessment features are integrated into the web-based system. First usage is planned for the 2001-2002 academic year.
