98-12888 Peterson Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology - Regional Faculty Workshops The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET) will conduct a series of regional, hands-on, engineering faculty workshops to facilitate educational innovation and adoption of new educational paradigms by giving faculty the confidence to try large-scale curricular innovations with the knowledge that well-designed program experimentation will not risk loss of ABET accreditation. The Action Agenda describes the need for a new engineering education paradigm whereby students will acquire characteristics, in addition to technical skills, such as communication skills, ability to work on teams, and an understanding of the impact of engineering solutions in a broad societal, environmental, economic, and ethical context. The problem is how to stimulate and implement innovation in curriculum and instructional delivery and outcomes. In the past, there has been reluctance to implement large-scale reforms due to the perceived risk to the accreditation status of the program. ABET found during the pilot-study for the implementation of Engineering Criteria 2000 that engineering programs will not take substantial steps towards a new educational paradigm as described in the Action Agenda until they are confident that their programs can successfully meet the requirements of EC2000. The expected results of the workshops are that faculty will acquire the confidence and skill to develop objectives, an assessment plan, and a feedback mechanism to meet the requirements of EC2000. From this, they will be able to implement curricular and instructional reform as well as assess the success of those reforms. ABET will develop case studies to assist the institutions and provide training materials for ABET program evaluators. From these workshops, an network of faculty will be developed, assisting in the exchange of information on best practices in assessment and innovation. The faculty will also have an opportunity to strengthen ties with industry and determine ways to gather information on the changing needs of the employers of engineering graduates.

98-12888 Peterson 工程和技术认证委员会-区域教师讲习班 美国工程技术认证委员会（Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology，Inc.）（ABET）将进行一系列的区域，动手，工程教师研讨会，以促进教育创新和新的教育范式的采用，让教师有信心尝试大规模的课程创新与知识，精心设计的程序实验不会有风险ABET认证的损失。 行动议程描述了需要一个新的工程教育模式，使学生将获得的特点，除了技术技能，如沟通技巧，团队合作的能力，并在广泛的社会，环境，经济和道德背景下工程解决方案的影响的理解。 问题是如何激励和实施课程和教学交付和成果的创新。 在过去，由于认为该计划的认证地位存在风险，因此不愿实施大规模改革。 ABET发现，在试点研究的工程标准2000年的实施，工程方案将不会采取实质性的步骤，以一个新的教育范式中所描述的行动议程，直到他们有信心，他们的方案可以成功地满足EC 2000的要求。 研讨会的预期结果是，教师将获得信心和技能，以制定目标，评估计划和反馈机制，以满足EC 2000的要求。 从这一点上，他们将能够实施课程和教学改革，以及评估这些改革的成功。 ABET将开发案例研究，以协助机构，并为ABET计划评估人员提供培训材料。 通过这些讲习班，将建立一个教员网络，协助交流关于评估和创新方面最佳做法的信息。 学院还将有机会加强与行业的联系，并确定如何收集有关工程毕业生雇主不断变化的需求的信息。
