At the end of each quarter in which the student has worked, both the
student and his or her supervisor will complete evaluations online.
Both parties will be considering the same skill categories that are
mandated by the accreditation standards of the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology.
Employers will be asked to assess the student's performance in each skill area as applicable to his or her job responsibilities.
Each student will be asked to rate the opportunity he or she
has been given to develop and enhance these same skills through
assignments at the work site.
The skills and learning opportunities to be evaluated are:
1. The ability to demonstrate an understanding of the technical aspects of the job.
2. The ability to schedule and organize work efficiently.
3. The ability to recognize and think through problems, obtain and
evaluate relevant facts, generate alternatives, make sound conclusions
and timely decisions.

5. The ability to design and conduct experiments.
6. The ability to analyze and interpret data.
7. The ability to design a system, component or process to meet desired needs.
8. The ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems.
9. The ability to use techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
10. The ability to effectively communicate in writing.
11. The ability to effectively communicate orally.
12. The ability to develop original, workable solutions to problems.
Students are also evaluated in terms of the following items:
1. The quantity and quality of relevant work.
