B. Accreditation Criteria Summary 1. Students................................................................................................................ 3
2. Program Educational Objectives........................................................................10
Graduates from the BSWE program must demonstrate the learning outcomes listed by ABET
as :
(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
(b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
(c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs
(d) an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
(e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
(f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
(g) an ability to communicate effectively
(h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a
global and societal context
(i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
(j) a knowledge of contemporary issues
(k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for
engineering practice.
In addition, three welding engineering-specific outcomes defined by the program are:
WELDENG (L) an ability to select and design welding materials, processes and inspection
techniques based on application, fabrication and service conditions
WELDENG (m) an ability to develop welding procedures that specify materials, processes,
design and inspection requirements
WELDENG (n) an ability to design welded structures and components to meet application
requirements
These learning outcomes were arrived at in discussions with the Program Assessment
Board and are contained in annual reports, which are maintained for open access by faculty and
students in a dedicated office area of EJTC. They were approved by the faculty in March 2009
and by that year’s PAB in June 2009.
3.B Relationship of Student Outcomes to Program Educational Objectives
Achievement of the learning outcomes prepares graduates to attain the program objectives.
To assist in describing the relationship between the outcomes and objectives, Table 3.B-1 below
groups the WE outcomes under the objectives that they support. Note that the ABET a)-k)
outcomes are fairly general so the same outcome supports more than one program objective in
some cases.

CRITERION 4. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
This section documents: a) the processes for regularly assessing and evaluating the
extent to which the program educational objectives and student outcomes are being attained, and
b) evaluation results that quantify the extent to which the program educational objectives and
student outcomes are being attained. It also describes how the results of these processes have
been utilized to effect continuous improvement of the program and provides examples of those
improvements.
The annual continuous improvement process used by the WE program is summarized in
the diagram below.
19
The assessment instruments used to gather data for the process are listed in each block and
the person(s) responsible for collecting the information are also shown. The approximate timing
of the collection of the various data is distributed throughout the academic year to correspond to
the time at which the information is available. The program assessment board meeting is
convened by the WE UGSC chair near the end of spring quarter. This meeting coincides with the
final project presentations by WE capstone teams since this board is comprised primarily of
capstone project sponsors.
4.A Program Educational Objectives Assessment
Table 4.A-1 lists the assessment processes used to gather data used to evaluate the program
educational objectives, the frequency of data collection, the expected level of attainment for each
objective. Also, the results of the evaluation processes and the extent to which each of the
program educational objectives is being attained are summarized. More discussion of the
assessments in this table is provided below.

The results of the college alumni survey are maintained by the college and made available for
ABET report preparation purposes on a password-protected web server. The WE salary data
reported by graduating students is maintained by the college placement office and is made
available on a public website at https://career.eng.ohio-state.edu/statistics/salaries-current.php.
The PAB meeting minutes are recorded and maintained by the WE UGSC chair.
4.A-1 Program Educational Objectives Assessment Results
The Welding Engineering program evaluates its educational objectives through feedback
from the College of Engineering Alumni Survey of recent graduates and Program Assessment
Board. The college survey asks alumni to rate the degree to which the WE curriculum allowed
them to achieve stated program objectives within several years after graduation. The Program
Assessment Board is asked to comment on the suitability of the objectives for the undergraduate
curriculum.
The results of the College of Engineering alumni surveys for the years 2006, 2008, and
2009 are summarized in Tables 4.A.2-4 below. Note that the 2009 data was taken out-of-
sequence so as to be available for this ABET evaluation cycle.

Generally, the results all indicated that the alumni either strongly or very strongly agree
(Likert levels 4 and 5) with the objectives listed in the table. The only statement that received a
rating less than 4 (3.89 in 2006 and 3.92 in 2008) corresponded to Objective 1” You can utilize
the fundamental principles of engineering science and mathematics, and feel that you are aware
of the underlying historic, social, ethical and aesthetic aspects of engineering.”. However, this
objective improved a strong rating of 4.25 in 2009. No specific course or curriculum
modifications are implied by these results.
Program Assessment Board Meetings
The program advisory board meeting was not held in 2007 due to retirements of WE program
personnel. A meeting of the capstone sponsor representatives from AY 2008-2009 with minutes
as shown in Table 4.A-5.
Table 4.A-5 2009 OSU WE Program Capstone Program Assessment Board Meeting Minutes
22
• 5/28/09 10:45 – 12:00 Rm 102 • Attending: D Harwig (EWI), A Swary (Panasonic FA), D Molnar, M Topping (Siemens) • A program summary consisting of curriculum objectives, outcomes and assessment results for the
current year was presented for 1st the 45 min, after which the panel discussed curriculum topics
• The general idea of broadening the “inspection” component of WE to “Quality” was supported by several attendees.
• One attendee suggested the inclusion of waveform design and offline programming of robotic systems as useful skills
• One attendee said graduates do not have knowledge to select among the various commercially-available welding wire formulations for a given application (simple example: S1, S3, S6 steel wires: what affect does silicon have on the weld?)
• This lead to a general discussion of usefulness of“chemistry of welding” topic that was dropped from the curriculum when Prof Howden retired. In general, the attendees agreed that this could be topic for a replacement faculty recruited as part of the WE-MSE transition.
• Several attendees mentioned that in general, capstone presentations could be more “polished” to clearly state conclusions, etc.
• Several attendees mentioned the ISE student advisor as an asset and hoped that the alumni communications (e.g. about jobs opportunities) would continue after the WE-MSE transition
The most immediate actionable item from the discussion was a suggestion for improvement of
the capstone presentations. This was forwarded to the capstone instructor for the coming year,
Professor Lippold. The suggestion for power supply waveform design is considered for inclusion
in the WE500 course. The topic can be covered after the introduction to switching power supply
designs, time permitting. However, there are other higher priority subjects that are of interest to a
broader spectrum of welding engineering job functions that must be thoroughly covered. The
acquisition of off-line robot programming software is currently being discussed with Motoman
by Prof. Phillips in conjunction with the new robotic work-cell that was installed during AY
2010-11. Prof. Phillips currently has a full schedule of 9 lab exercises that have been developed
for instruction on this new system via WE656 - Robot Programming and Operations beginning in
Au2011. However, when the program transitions to a semester calendar beginning in Au2012,
there will be 14 instruction weeks, so the additional off-line programming topic can be feasibly
added.
A meeting of the program advisory board consisting of capstone sponsor representatives from
AY 2010-11 was held on June 3, 2011 with minutes as shown in Table 4.C-5. At the 2011 PAB
meeting, the representatives were asked to fill out questionnaires with ratings of the extent to
which the capstone members teams displayed capabilities and preparedness relating to the WE
student outcomes. This data is tabulated and discussed in Criterion 4 of this report.
Table 4.A-6 2011 OSU WE Program Capstone Program Assessment Board Meeting Minutes
• 6/03/2011 10:45 – 12:00 Rm 102 • Attending: Deere: A. Mortale, B. King; EPRI: S. McCracken; Cameron: D. Hannam; Babcock&Wilcox:
S. Slack; OSU: D. Farson, D. Phillips, B. Alexandrov • Slides were presented for 1st 30 min, after which the panel discussed curriculum topics and
suggestions for improving the curriculum and capstone course sequence. • The suggestion was made that the welding lab equipment should be expanded to include other
manufacturer’s equipment besides Lincoln Electric. D. Phillips briefly described the intent to incorporate a number of Miller systems in the weld booths and also mentioned the new Motoman robot system, which is equipped with a Miller GMA welding system.
• The WE informational YouTube video created by one of this year’s capstone teams was presented.
23
One of the board members suggested that some means be found to include the video in this year’s ABET report.
• A discussion of the current class sizes in WE (Sr: 22, Jr: 24) prompted a discussion of the role of scholarships in recruiting out-of-state students. It was mentioned that the availability of numerous WE UG scholarships helps to offset the increased out-of-state cost. D. Hannam suggested that perhaps the program and scholarships could be advertised more and that the new video could be distributed to high school advisors via DVD. It was mentioned that the current YouTube accessibility probably reaches a more extensive audience and is cost effective. A short and a longer version are both readily located by searching “Welding Engineering Ohio State University” on YouTube.
4.B Student Outcomes Assessment
Table 4.B.1 lists the assessment processes used to gather the data upon which the evaluation of
student outcomes is based. The frequency with which these assessment processes are carried
out, the expected level of attainment for each of the student outcomes and the extent to which
each of the student outcomes is being attained are summarized. More discussion of the
assessments in this table is provided below. Attainment level of 70% for coursework indicates
that at least 70% of students achieved scores of 70% (grade of C-) or better on the applicable
assessment instruments. The marginal assessment applies when the percentage of student scoring
C- or better falls below 70% but at least 70% are still attaining a passing grade (score of 60%,
grade of D) or better. The unacceptable assessment would apply when more than 30% of
students are achieving failing scores on applicable instruments (score less than 60%, grade of E)
Table 4.B-1 Student Outcomes Assessment Processes and Evaluation

3. Capstone class surveys bi-annual agreement (3/5) for all objectives attained
3. WE placement data annual college average salary not attained (AY09-
10) WE:$52,210;
COE: $54,993
Table 4.B-2 lists the contribution of the required WE curriculum courses to the ABET and WE
program student outcomes. It is evident from the data that all of the outcomes have four or more
courses that contribute to their attainment with outcome j (knowledge of contemporary issues)
having the fewest and outcome a (ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and
engineering) having the most. Contemporary issues are predominantly addressed by the general
education curriculum courses which are not considered in this self-study.
24
Table 4.B-2 Degree of contribution of required courses to student outcomes 1= major, 2 = some,
3 = small.
The required course WE 489 Industrial Experience I is worthy of note with regards to
contribution to outcomes. The value of this course as an ABET requirement has been debated by
the faculty from time to time and there was serious consideration to removing it from the
required curriculum at the time of the last curriculum revision completed in AY2006-7. One
primary issue with this course is the variability of the summer jobs that the students are able to
obtain. The level of economic activity in the US and the suitability of the qualifications of the
students for the available jobs in any given year both impact the Industrial Experience outcomes.
The most persuasive argument for the course is feedback from numerous individual students
about the significant contribution that the course makes to their welding engineering education.
A summary of the student reports from the year 2010 is provided in Table 4.B-3 below. Also, to
accommodate the variability of work experiences inherent in this course, the format of the final
report is being changed to require that students identify at least 2 ABET+WE student outcomes
that their job related most to (and at which level 1,2 or 3) and further explain how the job
experience contributed to their attainment of these outcomes. With these modifications, we
believe that the contribution of the WE489 course to each student’s attainment of identified
learning outcomes will be more readily assessed.
Table 4.B-3 Summary of Student Feedback from Au 2010 WE 489 Course Reports
Students Organization Student Evaluation of Experience
opinions about the understanding of the class materials relevant to applicable outcomes based on
homework, tests and other work. It serves and an indirect indicator regarding the sufficiency of
class materials and the appropriateness of prerequisites. Attainment level of 70% for coursework
indicates that at least 70% of students achieved scores of 70% (grade of C-) or better on the
applicable assessment instruments. The marginal assessment applies when the percentage of
student scoring C- or better falls below 70% but at least 70% are still attaining a grade of D or
better (score of 60% or better). An example of a coursework assessment spreadsheet it inserted
below in Table 4.B-4. In summary, instructor direct assessments in the course work evaluation
spreadsheets indicate attainment of applicable student outcomes with the exceptions and
comments as noted below in Table 4.B-5.These comments indicate the improvements being
made to improve the attainment of outcomes. In the case where the course content is small in an
area but the assessment instrument scores or student interactions provide insight into the
attainment of an objective, the contribution of the course to the outcome is listed as 3.

4.B-2 Senior class and PAB surveys
The senior class surveys are completed by students midway through their last quarter and
thus represent student perspective of the effectiveness of the WE BS curriculum in facilitating
their attainment of the student outcomes. For compatibility, the outcomes used in all surveys
(shown below the results charts) were the ones in use during the 2006-2007 survey. As described
above in Section 3.A, the outcomes used for ABET accreditation were changed from the prior
extensive lists of WE-specific outcomes to the “standard” ABET 3.a)-3.k) outcomes,
supplemented by 3 additional WE-specific outcomes WE L) – WE n). The student outcomes
applicable to results shown below were drawn from the prior extensive list of WE-specific
outcomes. They either completely or significantly overlap with the currently used ABET 3.a)-k)
and WE-specific outcomes WE L) – WE n). This correspondence is shown in Section 4.B-2a
inset below. For future surveys, we plan to modify the senior student surveys to exactly
correspond to the outcomes currently in use by the program. For the student outcomes used in
the senior student surveys to date, the correspondence between the two sets of outcomes is
detailed in the Table 4.B-6 below.
Table 4.B-6 Relationship of senior student survey outcomes to currently-used student outcomes. The outcomes currently used in program accreditation (ABET 3.a)-k) + WE L)-n) overlap with the
outcomes used in senior class surveys, with the exception of ABET (h), (i). Attainment of these outcomes is documented by course-based assessments as summarized in Table 4.B-2 immediately above. In summary, the correspondence of current student outcomes to the ones used in survey results presented elsewhere in section 4.B are:
ABET (a) is divided into 4 detailed areas by survey outcomes ABET (b) is divided into 2 detailed areas by survey outcomes ABET (c) is divided into 2 detailed areas by survey outcomes. ABET (d) is divided into 2 detailed areas by survey outcomes. ABET (e) is equivalent to a survey outcome ABET (f) is partially covered by a survey outcome ABET (g) is partially covered by a survey outcome ABET (h),(i) are different from survey outcomes ABET (j) is equivalent to a survey outcome ABET (k) is partially covered by a survey outcome WE(L),(m), (n) are all equivalent to a survey outcome
In detail, the correspondence between the survey outcomes and the ABET 3.a)-k) and WE L)-n) outcomes are spelled out in the lists below. The bulleted survey outcomes are listed below the
29
3.a)-k) and WE L)-n) outcomes. (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering

In addition, three welding engineering-specific outcomes defined by the program are: WELDENG (L) an ability to select and design welding materials, processes and inspection techniques
based on application, fabrication and service conditions
Select, improve and develop processes, materials and designs that optimize welding fabrication and production in a safe manner
WELDENG (m) an ability to develop welding procedures that specify materials, processes, design and
inspection requirements
Establish welding procedures to guide production and welding personnel relative to specifications,
30
materials, processes, design and testing WELDENG (n) an ability to design welded structures and components to meet application requirements
The foundations of welding design: heat flow, stress, structural analysis, and fitness for service
The student responses are listed in Tables 4.B-7 and 4.B-8 below. The PAB from the year
2011 was also surveyed for the same outcomes for comparison of student perceptions to industry
personnel who are familiar with student capabilities from capstone project interactions. The
Likert scale used in all of Tables 4.B-6, 4.B-7,4.B-8 and 4.B-9 was: not prepared=1; somewhat
prepared=2; prepared=3; well prepared=4; very well prepared=5.
Overall, survey results shown in Table 4.B-7 below indicate that WE undergraduates felt
prepared or better (i.e. well-prepared or very well-prepared) in all aspects (processes, design,
materials and NDE) of welding engineering. The processes topic (outcome 1.,average 4.45)
received the highest rating and the NDE topic (outcome 4, average 3.9) received the lowest with
materials (outcome 2.) and design (outcome 3.) receiving intermediate ratings. This NDE rating
stands in counter-point to the 2011 PAB ratings (Tables 4.B-8), which gave the highest rating
(4.75/5) to the expertise of the students in the NDE technique-related outcome 4. The PAB rated
the students well-prepared in all other outcomes 1.,2., and 3. In any case, the students have the
smallest number of course hours (4 hrs) in the NDE topic 4. compared to the other areas, while
the subject matter is technically complex (particularly acoustics), so the student rating is perhaps
not surprising.

4. Operating principles and analysis methods for the various destructive and nondestructive
techniques used to evaluate welds
The senior student ratings of capability in weld engineering-specific student outcomes shown in
Table 4.B-9 indicates that students believe they are capable or better in all of the listed
capabilities. The lowest ranked capability 3 speaks to the ability to carry out basic research
related to welding engineering. The student perception that they are not as well prepared in this
research function as some of the other listed capabilities which are more relevant to welding
engineering applications is likely accurate. The PAB rankings of student capabilities in Table
4.B-10 are in general correspondence with the student ratings.

laboratory and field
4.C Capstone Course Assessments
In the WE program, the capstone course sequence is based on industry-suggested topics
and the student activities are all organized around projects that address these topics. Based on a
topic self-selected from a pool of possible choices, the teams write a proposal to the industry
sponsor who suggested that topic, execute the project tasks and create various written and oral
reports on the project status and results. Because of this concentration on execution of projects
on industry-suggested topics that are likely to be similar to welding engineering tasks that BS
graduates might face in their career, there is additional focus on collecting data that quantifies
how well students are able to apply WE skills to successfully complete capstone projects.
For compatibility with past capstone student surveys, the outcomes used in all capstone
student surveys (shown below the results charts) were the same as ones in use during the 2006-
2007 survey. As described above in Section 3.A, the outcomes used for ABET accreditation
were changed from the prior extensive lists of WE-specific outcomes to the “standard” ABET
3.a)-3.k) outcomes, supplemented by 3 additional WE-specific outcomes WE L) – WE n). The
student outcomes with results shown below were drawn from the prior extensive list of WE-
specific outcomes. They either completely or significantly overlap with the currently used ABET
33
3.a)-k) and WE-specific outcomes WE L) – WE n). This correspondence is shown in Table 4.C-1
inset below.
Table 4.C-1 Relationship of capstone student survey outcomes to currently-used student outcomes.
The outcomes currently used in program accreditation (ABET 3.a)-k) + WE L)-n) overlap with
the outcomes used in senior class surveys, with the exception of ABET (h), (i). Attainment of
these outcomes are documented by course-based assessments completed at other points in the
program. In summary, the correspondence of current student outcomes to the ones used in survey
results presented elsewhere in section 4.B are:
ABET (a) is equivalent to 1 survey outcome
ABET (b) is equivalent to 1 survey outcome
ABET (c) is divided into detailed areas by 2 survey outcomes.
ABET (d) is divided into detailed areas by 2 survey outcomes.
ABET (e) is divided into detailed areas by 3 survey outcomes
ABET (f) is partially covered by a survey outcome
ABET (g) is divided into detailed areas by 9 survey outcomes
ABET (h),(i), (j) are different from survey outcomes
ABET (k) is divided into detailed areas by 4 survey outcomes
WE (L) is divided into detailed areas by 2 survey outcomes
WE (m), (n) are different from survey outcomes
In detail, the correspondence between the survey outcomes and the ABET 3.a)-k) and WE L)-n)
outcomes are listed below.

or to develop new technology for a specific application
• Develop a project work scope that is consistent with the needs of the sponsor and within
the time and resource bounds available
WELDENG (m) an ability to develop welding procedures that specify materials, processes,

Table 4.C-2 below shows that students rated the capabilities based on their capstone experience
in the range of 4 and above with the 2010-11 ratings being marginally but consistently higher
than the 2008-09 ratings. Note that the Likert scale used in Tables 4.B-8 and 4.B-9 was: not
prepared=1; somewhat prepared=2; prepared=3; well prepared=4; very well prepared=5. Thus
the minimum rating of 4 indicates that students felt very well prepared to perform all of the
indicated functions based on capstone course activities.

2. Apply new developments in the welding field to solve current welding problems
3. Maintain coherent written technical notes on details of engineering work in the laboratory

8. Manage workloads and plan work activities such as to meet schedules and deadlines
9. Interact with other engineering personnel, management, customers, and others to exchange
ideas, information
Table 4.C-3 also shows that students generally rated their capability to successfully complete
their capstone course project in the range of 4 and above by. Note that the weighting of the rating
scale for these questions was based on agreement with the stated capability: NA: not agree=1;
SA: somewhat agree=2; A: agree=3; VA: very much agree=4; EA: extremely agree=5. Thus a
rating of 4 indicates that students very much agree that they have improved their skill in the
pertinent ability based on capstone course activities.
The lowest-ranked aspects of capstone courses were related to cost-analysis (3.8; item 4 below)
teamwork (3.8; items 6 ) and communications (3.7; item 7). However, even the lowest rankings
indicate that students “agree” to “very much agree” that the capstone course provided the
indicated capability.

4.D WE BS curriculum revision
The Welding Engineering undergraduate curriculum was revised in 2007, 2 years after
the most recent ABET review, in order to:
1.) Strengthen the curriculum in some areas that were recommended by the ABET
continuous improvement process;
2.) Capitalize on closer association with the Industrial and Systems Engineering Program
since department consolidations in 1995;
3.) Make use of flexibility provided in the selection of core engineering courses due to
the change to the engineering core requirements in 1999;
4.) Formalize some changes that have been necessitated by curriculum revisions in
supporting programs; and
5.) Address an issue relative to the retirement of one faculty member and the resulting
loss of a faculty slot.
37
6.) Add the one additional hour of GEC credit for each of Social Sciences and Arts &
Humanities, and include GEC Ethics course requirement, as per college GEC
requirement changes.

There was no change to the total hours of the Welding Engineering Program other than
the addition of two credit hours of GEC to raise the total program hours from 195 to 197. Two
required Welding Engineering courses were eliminated – WE 400(3) Chemistry of Welding in
the sophomore year and WE 640(3) Welding Production in the senior year. A situation with
teaching the WE 400 course has arisen due to a faculty retirement. Recommendations from
critical review from the faculty, program assessment board and students have revealed that this
course is outdated, has not been of great value, and it was no longer actively taught after the
retirement of Professor Howden. It was determined that the WE 640 course could be replaced by
content contributed by ISE courses that were adopted into the curriculum. In particular, ISE
350(3) Manufacturing Engineering, ISE 504(3) Engineering Economics Analysis and ISE 410(4)
Industrial Quality Control were integrated into the WE program. The ISE courses strengthened
the program in the overall manufacturing and business area as has been recommended by the
ABET assessment processes. Credit hour wise, the ISE 350(3) and 504(3) credit hours replaced
the WE 400(3) and 640(3) credit hours. The ISE 406(4) was adopted as a Selected Engineering
Core – Math and Statistics elective for Welding Engineering.
Within the WE curriculum, the heavily subscribed WE 641(3) Welding Codes,
Specifications and Standards was changed from a WE technical elective status to a required
status. This was also the result of constituency recommendation via the Program Assessment
Board within the ABET improvement process. These hours were accommodated by change of
the technical elective total elective credit hours from 21 to 15.
Two additional WE curriculum changes were required due to changes in supporting
programs. In the case of the Introduction to Engineering courses, the Engineering 182
requirement was changed to the new Engineering 183 number for consistency. Also, MSE
revised their curriculum the time of this WE revision. In consultation with MSE, WE adopted
the new MSE 525(3), 581.04(2) and 543(3) as required courses in place of the previous MSE
541(3), 542(3) and 542.02(2) courses.
4.E Program Educational Objectives Revision
The 2005 ABET review of the program was completed with student outcomes in use up
to that time. The assessment of student attainment of the outcomes and ABET reporting was
hindered by the fact that the outcomes were not the same of the ABET Criterion 3 a)-k)
outcomes, necessitating a cumbersome numerical mapping between the program outcomes and
40
the ABET outcomes. Comparison of the prior welding engineering learning outcomes to the
ABET (a-k) outcomes showed that the ABET outcomes were the same as the welding program
student outcomes. The ABET outcomes were more general in nature while the welding outcomes
were quite similar but written to be more specific to welding engineering. Given this fact, a
decision was made to transition the WE program assessment to the ABET Criterion 3 outcomes,
supplemented with three additional outcomes which specifically speak to welding engineering
expertise. This transition was done after the 2006-2007 academic year. The current set of (a-n)
outcomes thus covers the same learning aspects while being far fewer in number (14 outcomes
vs. 21 prior outcomes) and more consistent with the ABET evaluation process. To summarize
this revision, Table 4.C-2 compares the prior learning outcomes to the ABET a)-k),
supplemented with 3 additional WE l)-m) outcomes. Inspection of Table 4.C-2 shows that the
revised outcomes, though fewer in number, are more general and thus cover the same topics as
the prior outcomes.

3 WE placement data
Placement data for the years since the last ABET program review are displayed in Table
2.B-4. Historically, WE graduates have been awarded salaries that are at or above the college of
engineering average and this trend was generally maintained during the current ABET reporting
cycle, with the exception of AY09-10 and AY10-11. During those years, there was a dramatic
decrease in rate at which students reported salaries and a decline in the reported salaries, which
averaged about $3000 or 5.2% below the college average. The reasons for these declines are not
known and are currently being investigated. Students from the latest two time periods were
recently contacted in May 2011 and requested to report their starting salaries, although no
additional data has been reported. Currently, strategies for obtaining increased reporting rate of
salaries by students are being considered

CRITERION 5. CURRICULUM
5.A Program Curriculum
Table 5-1 describes the plan of study for students in the WE program including a
recommended schedule by year and term along with average section enrollments for all courses
in the program. Note that this table applies to the current quarter-based curriculum for the two
years preceding the current visit. Beginning in autumn 2012, The Ohio State University will
transition to a semester-based academic calendar. The semester-based WE curriculum is
described in Appendix E to this report, which contains semester versions of Table 5.A-1, 5.A-3
and Table 5.1.
5.A.2 Relation of Curriculum to Program Educational Objectives
The WE curriculum aligns with the program educational objectives listed in section 2.B and
supports attainment of the student outcomes. The relationship of the curriculum to each objective
is summarized below.
Objective 1 – Welding engineers will be able to utilize the fundamental principles of engineering
science and mathematics, and are aware of the underlying historic, social, ethical and aesthetic aspects of engineering.
The fundamental principles of engineering science and mathematics are addressed most
heavily in the freshman year of the curriculum. Five courses in mathematics, 3 in physics, 2 in
chemistry, 2 in engineering mechanics, 2 in electrical engineering and 1 in materials science are
all contribute heavily to fundamental principles of engineering science and mathematics. These
fundamentals serve as the foundation on which the subsequent lecture and laboratory courses
build to create increased depth of understanding that is required to utilize these fundamental
principles. Awareness of historic, social, ethical and aesthetic aspects of engineering is
promoted by completion of the 35-credit general education curriculum, including courses in
historical studies, arts and humanities, social science, ethics and social diversity. The rich
cultural and artistic environment at a comprehensive university such as OSU also contributes to
awareness and appreciation of historic, social, ethical and aesthetic aspects of engineering. Objective 2 – Welding engineers will have knowledge of the fundamental theory of the process,
design, materials and testing aspects of welding.
Most of the required welding engineering lecture courses contribute extensively to
providing the knowledge specified in Objective 2. The 4 areas: processes, design, materials and
testing have long been considered to form the basis of welding engineering. The WE-specific
curriculum begins WE300 which surveys and introduces these four topics. The other required
courses contribute further depth into these areas, either individually or in combinations.
Objective 3 – Welding engineers will be able to apply their fundamental welding engineering
knowledge in an integrated fashion to solve diverse practical problems in the welding and joining field.
The 3-course senior capstone design sequence required in the curriculum contributes
heavily to practice in application of fundamental knowledge to solve industry problems. The
44
philosophy of the WE capstone is to undertake projects which address problems contributed by
industrial sponsors. The student teams formulate proposals, undertake work to generate
necessary data or information and create reports and presentations as part of these projects. The
summer internship required by the program is also directed at providing students with real-world
experience in a welding or materials joining functions.
Objective 4 – Welding engineers will be able to communicate effectively in written, oral and
informal forms with a variety of audiences.
The WE curriculum requires learning of effective communications skills at a number of
points. This begins with 10 hrs of required courses work in the GEC, continues with technical
report writing in MSE581.04 (a course which was created to replace and improve on an earlier
English department course in technical writing). Communication instruction culminates in the
final quarter of the capstone sequence, which requires a written proposal and progress and final
reports, oral progress and final presentations and a poster presentation. The policy of the program
is to enter all final project reports in the James F Lincoln Foundation Welding Awards Contest
and all final project posters to the Poster Competition held at the American Welding Society
convention. The reports and posters have historically been quite successful in these competitions
since the inception of this requirement in the previous ABET review cycle.
Objective 5 – Welding engineers will be able to work effectively in independent and collaborative
aspects of their professional activity in an organized and productive fashion.
Most of the university curriculum emphasizes independent work by its nature.
Collaborative work is required in most of the laboratory courses in the curriculum, in part
because of the necessity of sharing experimental equipment. Because of this limitation,
completion of laboratory exercises is customarily done by teams of 2 or three students. This is
the case in WE550, WE651, WE661, WE662 and the lab portion of WE631. The lab work in
WE350 and WE351 is done individually since the objective of these courses is development of
individual welding skills. Also, all capstone projects are completed by 3 student teams.
5.A.3 Relation of Curriculum to Student Outcomes
The ways in which the curriculum and its associated prerequisite structure support the
attainment of each of the student outcomes listed in Section 3.A are detailed below. Table 4.B-2
(repeated as Table 5.A-1 below) lists the contribution of the required WE curriculum courses to
the ABET and WE program student outcomes. It is evident from the data that all of the
outcomes have four or more courses that contribute to their attainment with outcome j
(knowledge of contemporary issues) having the fewest and outcome a (ability to apply
knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering) having the most.
45
Table 5.A-1 Degree of contribution of required courses to student outcomes 1= major, 2 = some,
3 = small
.
(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
This student outcome is highly related to the first half of Program Educational Objective 1.
Much of the freshman curriculum (including 5 courses in mathematics, 3 in physics, 2 in
chemistry, 1 in thermodynamics, 2 in engineering mechanics, 2 in electrical engineering and
1 in materials science) are all contribute heavily to understanding of fundamental principles
of engineering science and mathematics. The welding engineering curriculum deals with
application of this fundamental knowledge to understanding of the processes, materials,
design and testing aspects of welding. The capstone sequence and the summer internship
requirements are directed specifically at application of this knowledge.
(b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
Much of the engineering curriculum is aimed at providing the understanding of various
physical phenomena and systems required by this outcome. Lab classes are based on
conducting and reporting experiments. The capstone projects are predominantly experimental
and are judged to provide major support to this outcome. Also, the statistical design of
experiments, analysis of data and evaluation of processes is specifically addressed in ISE410
Industrial Quality Control.
(c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs
The welding process classes (WE500, WE550, WE600, WE601, WE651) support welding
process and system design. The welding metallurgy course and lab (WE611/661) makes
major contributions to welding component and process design. The welding design courses
(WE620, WE621) contribute strongly to component and process design. The industry
problems addressed by capstone projects in WE690-1-2 address welding problems that fall
46
into these categories, considering welding metallurgy issues to divide into component and/or
process design.
(d) an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
Major contributions to teamwork are made by laboratory classes ISE350 and the internship
class which requires a position in a welding-related organization. The laboratory classes all
involve some degree of teamwork since exercises are generally completed the by student lab
teams on shared equipment.
(e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
Much of the engineering curriculum is aimed at providing the understanding of various
physical phenomena and systems required by this outcome. The engineering capstone design
courses WE690-1-2 provide experience directly targeted to this outcome.
(f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
A major contribution to this outcome is made by the GEC requirement for 5 credit hours in
the ethics category. This requirement is not summarized in the above table since there are a
number of GEC courses which can be used to satisfy the requirement. Discussions in 6
welding engineering engineering classes are judged to make some or minor contributions to
this outcome.
(g) an ability to communicate effectively
The laboratory class MSE581.04 concentrates intensively on report writing. Written reports
are also required by WE489, WE601,WE651, WE661, and all 3 capstone sequence courses.
(h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global
and societal context
The GEC courses provide the breadth of education required by this student outcome but are
not included in the summary shown in Table 5.A-1. Several MSE and WE courses are judged
to provide contributions to this outcome.
(i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
The GEC courses are judged to provide insight into subjects that will awaken in students the
need for lifelong learning and provide them with an introduction that is necessary for further
exploration. In the MSE and WE curriculum, contributions are judged to be made in courses
where an introduction is made in a technical area where there is particularly extensive depth
for further exploration.
(j) a knowledge of contemporary issues
Knowledge of contemporary issues is judged to be provided by GEC courses. Several WE
courses are considered to provide instruction in content that pertains to issues related to
welding engineering. The capstone sequence is judged to be particularly relevant since the
project problems are submitted by industry sponsors as relevant to their current concerns.
(k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for
engineering practice.
Many courses in the required curriculum have content related to use of modern engineering
techniques, skill or tools.
47
WELDENG (l) an ability to select and design welding materials, processes and inspection
techniques based on application, fabrication and service conditions
This outcome is written to summarize the OSU WE program’s perspective on the field of
welding engineering. As such, all of the WE courses make at least some contribution to it.
WELDENG (m) an ability to develop welding procedures that specify materials, processes,
design and inspection requirements
Procedure development has been suggested by many alumni and PAB members as an area in
which OSU welding engineers need expertise. Many courses provide the necessary
knowledge for this function. The course WE641 specifically addresses WE procedures and
their qualification in the context of several important welding codes and standards.
WELDENG (n) an ability to design welded structures and components to meet application
requirements
The design of welded structures and components to serve in a given application is addressed
by content in many of WE courses. WE621 addresses the expected mechanical design
aspects whereas WE641 discusses welding requirements in a number of codes and standards.
The capstone project problems submitted by corporate sponsors involve design from a
mechanical, materials or process standpoint.
5.A.4 Prerequisite structure of required WE courses
An advising sheet showing the sequence of required courses in the WE curriculum is
shown below in Table 5.A-2
5.A.5 Satisfaction of specific requirements for curricular areas.
The number of credit hours in the program relevant to the various curricular areas are
summarized in Table 5.1 The credit hours of mathematics and basic sciences courses
substantially exceed the minimum (49 credits vs. 32 credits minimum) and slightly exceed the
percentage of total hours in the curriculum (25.5% vs. 25% minimum). The number of
engineering credit hours and the percentage of the total curriculum far exceed the minimum (109
credits vs. 48 credits minimum and 56.8% vs. 37.5% minimum).
5.A.6 Design Experience
The principal design experience provided by the WE curriculum is the three-course
capstone design sequence - WE690, WE691, WE692 - which is scheduled throughout the senior
year. This course is project-based with the proposal, execution and reporting phases being
nominally divided up into the three quarters. Candidate projects are solicited from a pool of
potential sponsors over the spring and summer preceding the capstone year. In the first class of
WE690, students are assigned to 3-member teams and the teams vote on their project selections.
The WE690 instructor then assigns teams to projects based on the results of this vote. A member
of the WE faculty is assigned as advisor to each of the project teams at this time. The teams
develop a written proposal and a make a presentation to the class (with their industrial sponsors
in attendance) at the end of autumn quarter.
48
The winter quarter WE691 class is devoted to execution of the project work.
Experimental work is done with existing equipment, with equipment provided by the industry
sponsor and installed in the EJTC labs or at the sponsor facilities. The latter case requires one or
more trips by the project team to the sponsor location. At the end of winter quarter, the team
writes a progress report and makes a presentation to the class.
The spring quarter WE692 class is devoted to completion of the project execution and
reporting of the project results. The written final report is graded by the faculty member advising
the project team with input from the project sponsor. The team makes a final classroom
presentation with the project sponsors in attendance.
The main advantage of this industry-based capstone course is the relevance of the
projects to actual problems that industry sponsors need solved. The projects and industry
sponsors are refreshed annually to keep the project current with existing industry needs and
interests. The fact that the capstone design project sequence is scheduled during the senior year
allows the project teams to apply welding engineering knowledge from their prior and concurrent
classes to their projects. Since the welding industry depends significantly on codes and
standards, capstone projects often involve exposure to these codes.
A list of capstone design project course project titles and sponsors for the two past years
is displayed in Table 5.A-2.
The WE curriculum and the contribution of the courses to the various curricular areas
(Math & Basic Sciences, General Education, Other) is summarized in Table 5-1.

Specific goals for the course
Engineering economics is a set of analytic techniques used in making decisions about the allocation of resources. At its core is a mathematical model of how the value of money depends upon when it is paid or received. This model, while universally applicable to all areas of personal and business finance, will be applied in the context of problems that early- and mid-career engineers are typically called upon to solve. In much the same manner that an engineer applies the fundamental laws of mathematics and science to optimize quantities such as weight, power consumption, heat flow, stress, etc., students will learn to apply time-value-of-money concepts to maximize the financial benefits or minimize the financial costs associated with engineering projects.
This course is important in demonstrating the following ABET Educational Outcomess
for the accreditation of your degree:
(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (ABET 3a)
(c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability (ABET 3c)
(e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems (ABET 3e)

Course Goals
First part of the course introduces the fundamental concepts of welding/joining metallurgy. This will build upon physical metallurgy principles from prerequisite MSE courses.
Topics presented include regions of fusion and solid-state welds, weld solidification, HAZ phenomena, weld defects, and weldability testing.
A98
This course provides the foundation for the second part of the class, as well as, subsequent required and elective courses to be offered in related welding/joining metallurgy courses.
This second part of the course will provide basic understanding of the nature of iron and its allotropic form. In addition, the effect of alloying elements on the solid state transformation of iron alloys (steels) will be discussed.
Heat treatment of carbon and low-alloy steels is discussed and related to the effect of welding thermal cycles on resulting structure and properties of steels in the heat-affected-zone and weld metal.
in the third part of the course, welding procedures, steel and filler metal classification systems, and post-weld heat treatments are described. Weldability and weldability testing are discussed.
Major emphasis is placed on the toughness characteristics of steel weldments and the influence of hydrogen in producing HAZ and weld metal cracks.
