  1. Our #ABET accreditation visit went well. Look like both our #EngineeringTechnology programs here at #UKY will soon be acccredited. There was only one minor issue that we already have addressed. So at least all the work we put in paid off.

  2. Today was a crazy day finishing up a crazy week.

    here are my #ThreeGoodThings nevertheless:

    1. My talk at the #UKY teaching excellence symposium went well.

    2. Lab and office are clean and organized for our academic program #ABET accreditation visit next week.

    3. Relaxing with some good wine and re-watching episodes of #CornerGas.

  3. Last final is done and grading backlog is cleared. Looking forward to graduating our first batch of students in our new #EngineeringTechnology program here at #UKY. 8 students, 100% job placement rate. Not too shabby. I just dread the prep work for our #ABET accreditation.

  4. The semester at #UKY is done. I’ve finished my last reviews today. We’ll be graduating our first batch of students in our new programs in #EngineeringTechnology, so that’s exciting. Not looking forward to working on our #ABET accreditation, though. That’ll be a ton of work.

  5. @regehr "The board made this difficult decision"? Oh, please. #ABET, simply update abet.org/about-abet/ to read:

    "At ABET, we firmly believe in, er, whatever it is we're told to? We tirelessly work toward... I dunno... whatever looks like it could be the most expedient at the time, I guess."

    That way, you'll never have to make a "difficult decision" ever again.

  7. A TINY number of #engineering jobs require P.E. license

    --> P.E. licenses require a BS from an #ABET-accredited school

    --> So, NEARLY ALL engineering degrees have chosen to go through the headache of ABET accreditation (which puts a major drag on innovation)

    How did we get here?! 🤦‍♂️
