Do students in your program get the experiences that will help them develop into engineers? What is the balance between theory and application? Evaluating your program using a taxonomy can help you answer these questions. The resources below can help you to address these issues.
Web Based taxonomy: A flash version of the engineering taxonomy that provides an interactive overview. Make sure you have flash player installed to view this table.
Engineering Taxonomy Poster: This 24" * 24" PDF poster is designed as an aid to faculty who wish to examine courses and programs to determine how their program develops students as engineers. Another PDF version of this engineering taxonomy poster classifies the roles and abilities in engineering design and depicts the engineering design cycle as well. The same is available in powerpoint format.
Taxonomy survey for courses and programs:A survey to help faculty evaluate courses and degree programs, is under development.
