Abstract :
The electrical engineering program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute was evaluated by ABET under the Engineering Criteria 2000 Pilot Visit program in the fall of 1996. The paper reviews the current status of implementation of the outcome based EE curriculum at WPI and highlights some specific means of conducting assessment of educational outcomes of our courses. This ongoing assessment plan is critical to preparations for the next ABET EC2000 visit in the fall of 2002
