Assessment Test for 2- and 4-Year Electrical/Electronics Engineering
Technology Degree Programs
Discussions on the proposed test took place last year
The idea is to supply programs and their graduates with an assessment tool
A credential for the student An opportunity for the program to compare
itself to group averages
![Page 68: 1 The IEEE Educational Activities Board 16 June 2007 Meeting Philadelphia, PA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514a8f5550346d36e8b5da0/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
68
Recent Activities
A proposal for test development was developed with SME
A survey of US programs was conducted Will you use the test? How much will your graduates pay for it?
The general reaction was very favorable
The program requires $60-100K for start-up
![Page 69: 1 The IEEE Educational Activities Board 16 June 2007 Meeting Philadelphia, PA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514a8f5550346d36e8b5da0/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)

“Real World Engineering Projects” Development of projects that will lead to a new resource for
faculty who teach first year electrical engineering (EE), computer engineering (CE) and computer science (CS) students
These projects should: Focus students on Real World problems with solutions that
benefit society Get students excited about their own, original creative
solutions Increase student retention through personal satisfaction
and accomplishment Enhance student accomplishment through achievement
http://ieee.org/web/education/university/RealWorldEngineering/index.html
Projects focused on Engineering Technology students are welcome

The First Professional Degree in Engineering
![Page 76: 1 The IEEE Educational Activities Board 16 June 2007 Meeting Philadelphia, PA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514a8f5550346d36e8b5da0/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
76
Background
IEEE was requested to provide its official position on the First Professional Degree in Engineering
Possible designations A Bachelor of Science or equivalent
Four-year program A Master of Science or equivalent A Bachelor-plus
E.g. B.Sc. Plus 30 semester credits
So far no similar request to re-consider Engineering Technology
![Page 77: 1 The IEEE Educational Activities Board 16 June 2007 Meeting Philadelphia, PA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514a8f5550346d36e8b5da0/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
77
Main Arguments For Exceeding the B.Sc. Requirement
Increase in the volume of required knowledge needed for engineering practice
This is the essential argument of the US NAE
Comparison of bodies of knowledge required by practitioners in Medicine and Law to that required by Engineering
And differences in professional status
Changes in the mainstream engineering degree structure in Europe
The Bologna Declaration
The positions of ASCE and NAE
![Page 78: 1 The IEEE Educational Activities Board 16 June 2007 Meeting Philadelphia, PA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514a8f5550346d36e8b5da0/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
78
Main Arguments Against Exceeding the B.Sc. Requirement
No demand for a change from the field No pressure from industry No complaints on deficiencies with respect to public
welfare or safety
Change would increase barriers of entry into engineering
May decrease the propensity of young people to choose engineering as a career path
Change would disrupt the engineering profession
Change is fostered by a registration/licensing system that has already lost its relevancy
![Page 79: 1 The IEEE Educational Activities Board 16 June 2007 Meeting Philadelphia, PA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514a8f5550346d36e8b5da0/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)

How IEEE will Consider the Matter
Discussion by APC, EAB and the Board in February 2007
In the EAB meeting, two presentations, pro/con
Distribution of two position papers Will appear in The Institute in September 2007
Comment period
Subsequent discussion in November 2007 Target date for IEEE position is late 2007/early 2008

The US: ABET
We maintain a continuous dialog with the leadership of ABET
Working closely with CSAB
Our efforts have contributed to Significant changes in the Financial Model of ABET The financial model of the new program evaluator

ABET’s financial health
![Page 90: 1 The IEEE Educational Activities Board 16 June 2007 Meeting Philadelphia, PA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514a8f5550346d36e8b5da0/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
90
Training Program Evaluators
The basic training of program evaluators will be done by ABET
This is a major change weakens the participation of professional associations
in the training of their program evaluators Provides better quality training compared tot the old
“death by PowerPoint” approach
We have not yet determined how we will train new evaluators on discipline-specific criteria
“Program Criteria”
![Page 91: 1 The IEEE Educational Activities Board 16 June 2007 Meeting Philadelphia, PA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514a8f5550346d36e8b5da0/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
91
Training Program Evaluators (2)
IEEE has developed an on-line tool for training program evaluators
With Unreal Productions
The infrastructure is good but more work on content is needed
We probably will work simultaneously on content of the tool and application to discipline-specific program criteria
![Page 92: 1 The IEEE Educational Activities Board 16 June 2007 Meeting Philadelphia, PA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514a8f5550346d36e8b5da0/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)

EAB Charter Changes
Section 1.10 - EAB ObjectivesSection 1.11 - Educational ProgramsSection 1.12 - Education Conferences
![Page 129: 1 The IEEE Educational Activities Board 16 June 2007 Meeting Philadelphia, PA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514a8f5550346d36e8b5da0/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
129
Motivation for Changes
EAB Objectives Clarity in language
Educational programs Providing a more comprehensive description
of the nature and scope of our activities Avoid narrow and outdated terms
Pre-university not Student Pipeline, Pre-professional University-level activities, not Accreditation
![Page 130: 1 The IEEE Educational Activities Board 16 June 2007 Meeting Philadelphia, PA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514a8f5550346d36e8b5da0/html5/thumbnails/130.jpg)
130
Motivation for Changes (2)
Responsibilities and duties of VP-EA Provide a more comprehensive
description of responsibilities and duties
Use the same language we send to IEEE N&A in our own documents (…)
Note: a VP-EA manual is in planning
![Page 131: 1 The IEEE Educational Activities Board 16 June 2007 Meeting Philadelphia, PA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514a8f5550346d36e8b5da0/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)
131
Possible Action
Resolved that the revisions to the IEEE EAB Operations Manual shall be approved.
![Page 132: 1 The IEEE Educational Activities Board 16 June 2007 Meeting Philadelphia, PA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514a8f5550346d36e8b5da0/html5/thumbnails/132.jpg)

Sections Under Consideration
4.11 Accreditation Policy Council (APC) Charter
4.11.1 Accreditation Activities
4.11.2
Accreditation Process
4.11.3
IEEE Representative Directors to ABET Procedures
4.14
Committee on Global Accreditation Activities (CGAA) Charter
![Page 134: 1 The IEEE Educational Activities Board 16 June 2007 Meeting Philadelphia, PA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514a8f5550346d36e8b5da0/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
134
Motivation
Make the Charter conform to our activities Describe in clear language what we do and what we
want to do
Declare our basic objectives in accreditation in a general (not US based) terms
Reduce dependence of our accreditation committees on ABET structure
E.g., the existence of INTAC
![Page 135: 1 The IEEE Educational Activities Board 16 June 2007 Meeting Philadelphia, PA.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062417/5514a8f5550346d36e8b5da0/html5/thumbnails/135.jpg)
135
Motivation (2)
Remove automatic representation of members of ABET OUs on our accreditation committees
E.g., CAC, INTAC
Allow EAB to train non-US program evaluators in the current ABET training program
We are more restrictive than ABET (!) We will address and discuss issues of cost
