Acknowledgements:
The Engineering
Portfolio requirement is a result of many years of preparation including many
meetings and on-line debates amongst members of our EAC (Engineering Advisory
Council) and our AAC (ABET Accreditation Committee), namely, in alphabetical
order: Dr. DeGoede, Dr. Grave, Dr. McBride, Dr. Stuckey, and Dr. Wunderlich;
and the creation of the above syllabus was very much influenced by a previous
syllabus created by Dr. DeGoede and Dr. McBride, and taught several times by
Dr. DeGoede; see his syllabus here: http://etown.digication.com/degoede/Portfolio
