6. What is the process ?
This is a continuous process using social media
Nominations are made through
Twitter using the hashtag #ASEEExcellence
Posts to the LinkedIn group ASEEExcellence
email should be sent ASEEExcellence@ISSIP.org
Others as they become in widespread use
The nomination must contain a link to content supporting the nomination
Website
YouTube
SlideShare
ASEE staff will assess nominations weekly against the selection criteria rubric
Nominees selected for recognition will notified of their selection by ASEE with
a link to a form they must complete
The ASEE Excellence page will list those recognized with links to material that
can be used for replication and a contact point for additional information
7. How will the recognition program be
promoted ?
The ASEE Excellence Program must be widely
communicated to ensure the fullest participation
ASEE web page, daily “First Bell”, and social
media outlets
Professional societies beyond ASEE such as
IEEE and ASCE
Organizations such as APLU and ISSIP
University systems and private institutions
Community colleges
Others
8. What are the evaluation criteria ?
Access / Diversity
Excellence / Quality per investment per student
Effective use of industry mentorship opportunities
Teamwork & systems thinking
Interdisciplinarity & holistic design thinking
Social media savvy & network thinking
Online portfolio of projects & big data thinking
Co-curricular support
Application of current learning theory
Replicability / Scalability / Continuous Improvement
9. What will the recognition look like ?
ASEE to determine the range of possibilities
Listing on the ASEE web site
Certificate of recognition
Memento
Invited session at the annual ASEE conference
w/honorarium
Monetary recognition
…
10. Will there be a pilot of the recognition
system?
No
Since this will be a continuous process, not
annual, it will be launched and expected to grow
as the program becomes acknowledged across
the engineering communities
A periodic review will be held to evaluate the
program, especially the selection criteria and
rubric, adjusting to the changing environment

13. Access / Diversity
The population includes the full range of
minorities, females, and first generation college
students. It is representative of the region served
with ≥75% of females and URMs in that
population.
14. Excellence / Quality per investment per
student
Demonstration of excellence apparent
(accreditation and or program data, etc). Large
number and diversity of students achieve
program outcomes and benefit from an effective
and efficient program design and execution
15. Effective use industry mentorship
opportunities
There are established long term partnerships that
allow students industry experience with
bidirectional feedback and metrics to allow the
program to be continuously improved
16. Teamwork and systems thinking
Courses include a multidisciplinary team project
with industry mentor
17. Interdisciplinarity and holistic design thinking
Team projects tackle multiple aspects of
analyzing and design improvements to improve
holistic systems (cities, university campus, hotel,
cruise ships, etc.), engaging with stakeholders in
the real world system
18. Social media savvy and network thinking
Social media is used throughout for
communication including students, faculty, and
administration. This should include at least three
types of social media not including web sites or

to demonstrate student achievement throughout
the program. Program uses a big data approach
to student success and achievement including
use of alumni and employer data for program
improvement.
20. Co-curricular support
Students have a variety of experiences outside of
class that enhance learning-opportunities to
participate in clubs, organizations, internships, coop options, career preparation. Majority of
students participate. Data available that
demonstrate the value of co-curricular activities.
The program faculty integrate these opportunities
into the program experience.
21. Application of current learning theory and
tools
Program elements designed based on some
aspect of the research on how students learn (e.g.
active learning, scaffolding, formative and
summative assessment, etc..), supports included
for different types of learning styles, includes the
integrated use of educational technology that
supports learning
22. Replicability / Scalability / Continuous
improvement
Data generated through continuous improvement
and other information from program evaluation
points to features of the program that are
replicable and scalable.
24. What is ISSIP ?
The
International Society of Service Innovation Profession
promotes the professional development,
education, research, practice, and policy work of
