Abstract
In the Fall 2003, the Center initiated a survey on standards education activities at schools of engineering among top universities in the United States. The purpose of the survey was to contact the school of engineering at each university and determine whether the school of engineering offers a separate course on standards, one or more lectures on standards, or whether the subject of standards is integrated into one or more existing curriculums. More than 100 universities were contacted. The response rate for the survey was approximately 20%. The Center believes responses provided by universities who responded are typical of most engineering schools in the United States, and represent a reasonably accurate picture of standards education within schools of engineering. Set forth below are the Center's conclusions, survey questions and representative answers.
