• All engineering programs at NPS are undergoing accreditation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in 2013

― Curriculum review process is leveraged extensively for accreditation purposes• Shows ABET we are closely tied to our sponsors• Provides a process for continuous improvement

• In conjunction with the 2013 accreditation, ABET Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) were updated to more closely comply with ABET guidance

― Previous PEOs used the 591 Educational Skill Requirements (ESRs) • This approach mirrored the curriculum review process and provided

excellent linkage to the program sponsor• However, ESRs are too detailed to serve as ABET PEOs, which are intended

to be “broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years after graduation”

― PEOs are now consistent with Core Skill Requirements (CSRs)

― ESRs will continue to be captured in ABET Student Outcomes (see following slides)

ABET Accreditation

• The overall educational objective of the Astronautical Engineering program is to support the NPS mission by producing graduates who have knowledge and technical competence, at the advanced level in Astronautical Engineering, to support national security.

• In order to achieve this goal, the specific objectives are to produce graduates who have knowledge and technical competence in the following areas (aligned with ESRs):

• Orbital Mechanics, Space Environment and Remote Sensing• Military Space Systems• Project Management and System Acquisition• Spacecraft Communications and Signal Processing• Computers: Hardware and Software• Spacecraft Dynamics, Guidance and Control• Spacecraft Structures and Materials• Propulsion Systems• Spacecraft Thermal Control and Power• Spacecraft Design and Integration

Original ABET PEOs

27

• The overall educational objective of the NPS Astronautical Engineering program is to support the NPS mission by producing graduates who have, at an advanced level, knowledge and technical competence in astronautical engineering and who can use that knowledge and competence to support national security. Specific Program Educational Objectives (i.e., skills and abilities that graduates can bring to their position after having graduated from NPS and receiving 3-5 more years of on-the-job training and professional development) include:

• Technical Expertise*

• Leadership*

• Operational Utilization*

*See notes

Updated ABET PEOs

28

• Student Outcomes for the NPS Astronautical Engineering program are:

1. Graduating students will have knowledge and skills equivalent to an ABET-accredited BSAE.

2. Graduating students will have advanced level knowledge in Astronautical Engineering as demonstrated by the ability to apply masters level knowledge in one of the available specialized disciplines of Astronautical Engineering.

3. Graduating students will have high level of communication skills including technical writing and oral presentation.

4. Graduating students will have the ability to independently identify, formulate and solve technical and engineering problems in Astronautical Engineering.

5. Graduating students will have the ability to apply technical knowledge in a leadership role related to national security.

• To fulfill their future responsibilities and meet the intent of Student Outcome 5, the program sponsor has specified that Navy officer graduates have technical knowledge and competence in the following specific areas (aligned with ESRs):

Updated ABET Student Outcomes
