摘要:The École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS), as are all engineering schools and faculties in Canada, is at work adapting its programs to comply with new CEAB Accreditation Criteria and Procedures. The recently defined twelve CEAB attributes define the knowledge, skills and attitudes that all engineers must possess in order to practice their trade. These attributes thus define, in some ways, the engineer. Therefore, in parallel to measuring how our programs integrate these attributes, we also wish to measure how well our students integrate these twelve attributes in their conception of what an engineer is. The premise of this work is that faculty should focus its efforts on those attributes that students do not seem to readily associate with engineering. The objectives of this work are to lay the foundation of a method that will enable us to: measure which attributes students readily associate with being an engineer; and verify if there is an evolution of these measures over time. measure how many attributes students readily associate with being an engineer;
