2006 graduation Page 11.62.1 © American Society for Engineering Education, 2006 A Look at the Programs in Multidisciplinary Engineering Areas for which ASEE Is Now the Lead Society for ABET Accreditation Review Abstract As the result of ABET Board action in spring 2005, ASEE is now the lead society for the accreditation of multidisciplinary engineering programs for accreditation visits beginning in the fall of 2006 In this context, the terminology “multidisciplinary engineering programs” is defined as the set of engineering programs with one of the following program titles (with a few slight variations): Engineering, General Engineering, Engineering Physics, or Engineering Science(s) ASEE also has lead society role for similarly selected engineering technology programs but that set is not included here This paper presents information about 61 institutions and their 63 programs of these types Introduction About six years ago, conversations among some engineering educators began an initiative that has now resulted in two significant new activities in ASEE’s repertoire: a successful new ASEE division and a prominent ASEE roll in accreditation From a flurry of email communications early in 2001 by Dr Joan Gosink, Colorado School of Mines, a “forum” was held at the 2001 ASEE Annual conference in Albuquerque With the extensive promotion and leadership by Dr Gosink, the attendance at this initial meeting was very good, with a recorded attendance of 31, representing nearly as many different institutions Dr Gosink moderated the discussion and Dr Ed Jones, Iowa State University, served as secretary pro tem At its initial leadership, the group selected a steering committee comprising Dr Gosink (chair), Dr Dayne Aldridge, Mercer University, and Dr Harry Cook, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champagne, with Dr Jones serving temporarily as secretary The discussion was lively, with considerable debate over the appropriate thrust and the leadership of the group It was decided to continue to meet, with the second meeting to be organized for the 2002 ASEE Annual Conference in Montreal, QB The second annual meeting was described in the early email announcements as the Department Heads of Multidisciplinary Engineering Programs (DHMEP) meeting The first substantial result of that initiative was the organization and recognition by ASEE of the group’s petition as the Multidisciplinary Engineering Constituent Committee, with Dr Gosink as chair, Dr Jim Farison, Baylor University, as vice chair and program chair, and Dr Phillip Young, University of Wisconsin-Platteville, as secretary/treasurer The group continued to meet and develop its structure and program at each succeeding ASEE Annual conference, and by the 2005 ASEE Annual Conference in Portland, the group had been recognized by ASEE as the Multidisciplinary Engineering Division Page 11.62.2 A more detailed record of the group, its history, program and leadership is provided in papers1,2 presented at the 2004 ASEE Gulf Southwest Section Conference in Lubbock, Texas, and at the 2005 ASEE Annual Conference in Portland As those papers document, a continuing focus of the group has been the unique character and distinctions of the multidisciplinary engineering programs One of the significant distinctions of this focus by the Multidisciplinary Engineering Division, as a representative of its constituency from multidisciplinary engineering programs, has been that those programs not have the additional “program criteria” that the “traditional” programs (such as civil engineering electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and most others) Indeed, the novelty, variety and interdisciplinary nature of these “multidisciplinary” programs would not accommodate the type of additional program criteria that the traditional programs have Information about some of the characteristics of this type of program is available elsewhere.3,4,5 Related to this distinction, it was believed by many in multidisciplinary programs that the selection, training and program review of accreditation evaluators through the traditional disciplinary organizations (ASCE, IEEE, ASME, etc.) with program criteria could and sometimes did lead to complications in the program evaluation This realization gradually but naturally led to the proposal that ASEE, a broad-based interdisciplinary engineering organization, become the lead society representing this specific set of multidisciplinary engineering programs in the ABET accreditation process For engineering programs, that set comprises those engineering programs with the names of Engineering (including General Engineering), Engineering Physics or Engineering Science For engineering technology programs, that set includes those programs called Engineering Technology (without further delineation) That proposal was approved by the ASEE Board of Directors for forwarding to ABET, and was approved by the ABET Board of Directors in June 2005 As a result of this new role,6,7,8 ASEE has adapted and strengthened its Accreditation Activities Committee (AAC), solicited program evaluators with qualifications appropriate to that role, and is preparing to train and send evaluators for programs within its purview for both EAC (Engineering Accreditation Commission) and TAC (Technology accreditation Commission) accreditation reviews ASEE-trained visitors will begin their visits to the respective programs during fall 2006 Multidisciplinary Engineering Program Information The ABET website9 currently lists accredited engineering programs under a set of drop-down menu titles, two of which are: Engineering (including General Engineering) (with 35 programs listed), and Engineering Physics/Engineering Science (with 30 programs listed)—a total of 65 Both sets include programs with variations on these specific titles Since these specific sets and their entries (including the variations) were established before ASEE’s role was established, it is likely that the current programs on these two ABET lists will not match exactly the set of programs for which ASEE will have the accreditation role Accordingly, the authors have made a good faith judgment between the two errors of including programs that will not be assigned to ASEE and not including programs that will be assigned to ASEE, and hereby offer their sincere apology to ABET for this step and to any program that is assigned differently With that limitation acknowledged, one program from each of these two sets of general titles is not included in the following lists Page 11.62.3 Accordingly, in the remainder of this analysis, the following four groups of accredited programs are identified Engineering (31) and Engineering (General) (1) are listed together as 32 Engineering programs Programs with the title General Engineering (2) are listed with that title There are 17 institutions with programs in Engineering Physics (or Physics – Engineering Physics option) There are 11 programs with the title Engineering Science or Engineering Sciences, plus with a program titled Engineering and Applied Science, for a total of 12 in this group In summary, the subsequent information in this paper relates to the following programs: 32 12 17 63 Engineering programs General Engineering programs Engineering Science(s) Engineering Physics programs Multidisciplinary programs Since two institutions have two different multidisciplinary engineering programs, there are 61 different institutions with these 63 accredited multidisciplinary engineering programs in this study (and potentially under the purview of ASEE accreditation review responsibility) This paper expands on the enumeration above, and reviews some of the characteristics of these multidisciplinary engineering programs and the institutions that offer them Because of the importance of the subject of this paper, the authors have taken special care to be both precise and correct, hereby apologize in the event of any errors, and welcome the corrections of any inaccurate or incomplete information The data for the following tables, which includes only those institutions with one or more of the types of currently-accredited multidisciplinary engineering programs listed here, is from the ABET website.9 The alphabetical ordering of institutions used here is the same as that used by ABET The official assignment of program accreditation roles is the responsibility of ABET, and may differ from the information presented here Table displays the year of first accreditation for the 63 currently accredited multidisciplinary engineering programs That history began with the four multidisciplinary engineering programs that were first accredited in 1936, the first year that national professional accreditation was offered At that time, accreditation was under the Engineers Council for Professional Development (ECPD), the forerunner to the current ABET The next two newly accredited multidisciplinary engineering programs were recognized in 1949 There were new accredited programs in the decade of the 1950’s, in the 1960’s, in the 1970’s, 10 in the 1980’s, 18 in the 1990’s, and so far in the 2000’s These and following statistics include only those institutions and programs that have continued their program accreditation to the present time Page 11.62.4 Table provides, alphabetically by the institution name, a list of the accredited multidisciplinary engineering programs offered, showing the names of the institutions, the accredited multidisciplinary engineering programs offered, the years of their first accreditation, the numbers of other accredited engineering programs offered, and the years of next accreditation review (called next general review) In 26 of these 61 institutions, the multidisciplinary engineering programs are the only accredited programs offered, while seven of these institutions offer 10 or more additional accredited engineering programs This same information is shown in other listing orders in multiple tables in the Appendix Table A1 shows the same information as Table 2, but groups the institutions by name of multidisciplinary engineering program offered Table A2 lists the institutions by the year of the first multidisciplinary engineering program accreditation Table A3 repeats the information again, in the order of the year of the institutions’ (and the program’s) next general accreditation review Table lists the other accredited engineering programs at the institutions with multidisciplinary engineering programs The full names for these abbreviations are given in Appendix Table A4 With ASEE’s new role in the accreditation of multidisciplinary engineering programs, the schedule of the accreditation cycle for program review and its accompanying need for program evaluators and related responsibilities are of considerable importance for the recruiting, training and assigning of those evaluators Table gives the number of institutions and the numbers of multidisciplinary engineering program accreditation visits during 2005-06, which were completed under the previous accreditation assignments, and the anticipated visits for ASEE program evaluators over the next several years starting in 2006-07 for the list of institutions and programs shown in Tables and 3, based on ABET’s six-year general accreditation review cycle and as shown at ABET’s web site.9 Table gives the listing of the corresponding institutions for each of the years in the six-year accreditation cycle Except for the addition of new programs seeking accreditation and any currently accredited programs that no longer seek accreditation, this information translates directly into the anticipated ASEE program evaluator workload for the next several years Each visit requires the minimum of the team chair and an evaluator for each program being reviewed but, in the case of a visit for an institution with a single program review, two evaluators are required In this case, the two evaluators share the assignment responsibility and combine their assessments into a single accreditation draft report Page 11.62.5 TABLE Year of First Accreditation of Multidisciplinary Engineering Programs Engineering General Engineering Engineering Science Engineering Physics 1936
