  2. explicitly indicate which of the student outcomes listed in Criterion 3 or any other outcomes are addressed by the course.
    ABET Student Outcome (SO) Listed in Criterion 3 Performance indicator
    SO2 an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
    • PI-2.1 Formulate the problem (identify the “need”) and analyze constraints
    • PI-2.2 Establish “fitness” criteria for evaluating potential solutions and tradeoffs
    • PI-2.3 Generate alternative solutions (If multiple solutions exist) or sensitivity analysis to solution
    • PI-2.4 Build a solution (or solutions) and analyze performance, ensuring that the solutions meet the specified needs with explicit consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
