Organization of Engineering Education
Engineering education in the U.S. Organization of the engineering unit Position of engineering unit in the
university

Engineering Education in the
United States 2,870 four-year colleges and
universities in U.S. 389 (13.6 percent) have ABET
accredited engineering programs 1,885 accredited programs
(average of just under five programs per institution)
Accreditation is critically important

Organization of Engineering Unit
Engineering department headed up by department chair or department head
Several departments form a school or college headed up by the “dean”
Non-engineering departments (computer science, engineering technology, etc. may be part of engineering unit

Community College Role in Engineering
Education 1,729 community colleges in the
U.S. 40 percent of engineering
graduates attended a community college at some time
Articulation and course selection Advantages of starting at a
community college Applicability of Studying
Engineering to community college students

Graduate Study in Engineering
Benefits of graduate study in engineering
M.S. degree in engineering
Ph.D. degree in engineering
Full-time or part-time? How will you support
yourself?

Group DiscussionEthical Dilemma
In your group, discuss the following situation:
A friend has been sick and asks to copy your homework that is due in a few hours. What do you do?
Appoint a leader to keep the discussion on topic and a recorder to record and report what was learned
![Page 22: Chapter 8](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816587550346895dd83db6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Group Discussion on Benefits of Graduate
Education Poll your group members to determine how
many plan to pursue formal education beyond the B.S. degree in engineering. Then brainstorm a list of the rewards, opportunities, and benefits that result from pursuing a graduate degree in either engineering or another discipline (e.g., MBA). Discuss each of the benefits on your list. At the end of the exercise, poll your group members again.Appoint a leader to keep the discussion on topic and a
recorder to record and report what was learned
