Experiences with Electronic Presentation of Materials for a Comprehensive Review
ABET SymposiumTaylor, C., Williams, S.
2019
The 2018-2019 Accreditation Policy and Procedure Manual specifies "Materials" to be presented during a Comprehensive Review. In 2018, four engineering programs in Milwaukee School of Engineering’s EECS department presented those materials in an electronic format instead of a paper format. This presentation will provide lessons learned from that experience, including material organization, security access, availability time period, and material collection.
Undergraduate Software Engineering Programs
IEEE 30th Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training (CSEE&T)Taylor, C., Gary, K., Kiper, J., Wellington, C., Villegas, N.M., Chang, L.
2017
Undergraduate programs in software engineering are relatively new. The first ABET accredited programs received accreditation in 2001. There are currently 31 ABET accredited software engineering programs worldwide with additional programs being added each year. In this session, panelists will discuss their experience starting new programs, developing curriculum, and navigating accreditation issues.
