7MEG AdAdvisoryiBBoarddUUpdate-ABETd t ABETRelated Issues In our 2004 ABET Self-Study The board helps with several issues including: IdentificationId tifi ti off needsd ffor new programs Review of MEG curriculum Upgrades of educational labs Identification of possible research opportunities Internship programs The main areas of involvement include: Review of MEG Curriculum. Continual tuning of Industry surveys. Continual discussion of outcome methods. Review of the ABET Self-study report by three representativesof the board.
8MEG Advisory Board UpdateUpdate-ABETABETRelated Issues Any changes or suggestions for 2010 ABET SelfStudy? Michelle Miller volunteered to lead the committee First draft of SelfSelf-StudyStudy Report will be prepared byWoosoon Yim during Summer 2009 Need volunteers Curriculum review (Thermal(Thermal, FluidFluid, Material/DesignMaterial/Design, Dynamics/Control) Survey assessment (Industrial, Alumni survey) Student Relations (Internship, Senior Design) Sustainable funding for lab improvement
9Collaboration in Industry Department goal will include strengtheningmentoring of students by local engineers byactive participation in MEG curriculum review and improvementSenior design projects & internship opportunityProgram GoalsThe goals of Bachelor of Sciences in the Engineering — Mechanical Engineering program are to: Prepare graduates for the lifelong learning of mechanical engineering. Provide graduates with solid academic preparation for professional positions and/or graduatestudy. Need to discuss ways to achieve this goal
10MEG Advisoryy Board-Bylawy Do we need for MEG Advisory Board Bylaw? Volunteers needed for a draft
