The Current Status of Academic Standards in Engineering Education at Ohio University

摘要

Some results are presented from a recent study of academic standards at Ohio University. Findings for both the university and its Russ College of Engineering and Technology are described, contrasted and compared for 1993 and 1999 with due consideration given to the academic caliber of students entering the college and university, as measured by standardized test scores and high-school class standing. Some implications of these findings are described as well as their place within the overall flux of national academic standards in higher education as reported in the literature.
