A successful EAC-ABET accredited undergraduate program in modeling and simulation engineering (M&SE)

The first undergraduate degree program in modeling and simulation engineering recently was implemented at Old Dominion University. The program awards the Bachelor of Science Degree in Modeling and Simulation Engineering and was designed to meet the ABET accreditation requirements for general engineering programs. This paper describes the design and implementation of a continuous improvement process for the program. The department mission statement and the program educational objectives are presented. The student outcomes are stated and an assessment process for evaluating student achievement is described. Finally, the continuous improvement process for the program is presented. Recommendations from the initial ABET accreditation visit are summarized.
