Program

Friday, March 10, 2006

There will be two workshops offered that address ABET. The first is the usual ECEDHA ABET workshop for programs that will be visited Fall 2007. The second, handled by the IEEE, offers training for program evaluators. Since serving as an evaluator is outstanding preparation for a visit, both workshops should be of interest to a wide spectrum of attendees and many people will want to attend both. To facilitate such participation, the organizers of the two workshops have arranged to meet jointly from 3:00 - 4:00 pm to share concerns and thoughts about visits. The IEEE workshop will continue after the ECEDHA workshop adjourns a 4:00 pm. Thus, there is no conflict between the two schedules. Participants from the ECEDHA workshop are also invited to attend the last hour of the IEEE workshop from 9:00 - 10:00 pm on Sunday for additional discussion.
