Unification of CSC and SE ABET Effor ts

Similarity of CSC and SE Programs

Similarity of CSC and SE Programs • Curr icula are 85-90% the same.

Similarity of CSC and SE Programs • Curr icula are 85-90% the same. • It’s appropr iate to have comparable commonality in ABET reports.

Similarity of CSC and SE Programs • Curr icula are 85-90% the same. • It’s appropr iate to have comparable commonality in ABET reports. • In future, we expect programs to evolve in distinct directions.

CSC & SE Accreditation History

CSC & SE Accreditation History • Previous effor ts were largely independent.

CSC & SE Accreditation History • Previous effor ts were largely independent. • Changes in CSC accreditation process have allowed much more commonality.

CSC & SE Accreditation History • Previous effor ts were largely independent. • Changes in CSC accreditation process have allowed much more commonality. • In particular, program outcomes and lear ning objectives have been unified.

The ABET "A-K"

The ABET "A-K" • These are "student outcomes" .

The ABET "A-K" • These are "student outcomes" . • For each outcome, we provide one or more "measurable skills" .

Unification of CSC and SE Outcomes

Unification of CSC and SE Outcomes • At first glance, ABET outcomes look pretty different for CSC and SE.

Unification of CSC and SE Outcomes • At first glance, ABET outcomes look pretty different for CSC and SE. • Differences are largely superficial.

Unification of CSC and SE Outcomes • At first glance, ABET outcomes look pretty different for CSC and SE. • Differences are largely superficial. • By recognizing this, we’ve been able to substantially unify the subordinate skills.

Unification Voodoo • CSC a = SE a • CSC f = SE g • CSC b = SE b plus 1 skill • CSC g = SE h plus 1 • CSC c = SE c plus 2 • CSC h = SE i • CSC d = SE d plus 1 • CSC i = SE k • CSC j not = SE at all • CSC e = SE f minus 1 SE j plus 1 • CSC k = SE e plus 1

Practicalities

Practicalities • SE has capstone, CSC doesn’t.

Practicalities • SE has capstone, CSC doesn’t. • SE teams are multidisciplinar y .

Practicalities • SE has capstone, CSC doesn’t. • SE teams are multidisciplinar y . • Applied theory in CSC ABET, not SE.

Practicalities • SE has capstone, CSC doesn’t. • SE teams are multidisciplinar y . • Applied theory in CSC ABET, not SE. • Gratuitous differences in ABET language are annoying but inconsequential.
