This panel will inform the audience about an undergraduate IT program's preparation and process for ABET accreditation. The School of Information Technology at Macon State College is seeking accreditation from the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET). ABET accredits academic programs that prepare graduates for entry into the following professional disciplines: 1) applied science, 2) computing, 3) engineering, and 4) technology. (http://www.abet.org). Specifically, the panel will discuss three themes essential in preparing the IT program for ABET accreditation. They are: 1) program educational objectives, 2) program outcome, and 3) program continuous improvement.

This article discusses a very well-known and frequently used technique for an implementation of a variety of artistic projects - a collage created by means of information technology. The article tells about using collage in higher education for teaching graphics, in particular, raster editors. Graphics editors such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP are included in the Computer Science and Information Technology program. Students get the opportunity to create graphic images regardless of their prior art education. The introduction of the topic "Creating a collage by means of a raster editor" introduces a creative element into IT disciplines and develops the student's associative thinking at the level of brain functioning. As a rule, raster editors are used to edit an image, not to create it. Therefore, preparation for these classes encourages students to search for the necessary visual material on the Internet. In order to obtain more personal images, a deep study of photography techniques is required. It is also useful to study the history of photo and film collages, their texture and structure. The scope of the collage use is various. This is psychology, teaching foreign languages and, of course, fine arts. Advertising posters that we see in large numbers in the media and transport are also collages. The article traces the history of collage creation from ancient Egyptian history to modern advertising products. It is especially interesting to study the time when collage became a conscious technique. This is a great layer of avant-garde art.

Information Technology Curriculum

Teaching a mathematics foundation course such as Discrete Mathematics for an information technology curriculum is always a challenge. The challenge may be identifying students  mathematical backgrounds early and then using different teaching techniques in the classroom. An even bigger challenge is that many topics have to be covered effectively in a short semester course. This paper provides a standard quantitative methodology for conducting an outcome assessment using Discrete Mathematics as a case study. It starts with creating an ABET accredited course outcome based on different learning levels. And then it shows how to design assessment instruments, how to determine the sample size, how to collect data and how to analyze and validate the data.
