A history of ECSEL community college interactions

This paper examines the flow of curricular innovations from ECSEL universities to feeder campuses. The different relationships that have evolved between the four-year ECSEL schools and feeder institutions due to the local characteristics and constraints are described in terms of the successes and failures in articulation. An ECSEL community college interaction activity, Articulation 2000-a program to help two-year institutions understand and adapt to the changes that are taking place due to ABET's EC2000, is reviewed in light of our experiences with the feeder campuses. This history and future plans of our community college interactions can help other institutions understand and work through the difficulties with articulation and the effects of EC2000 on feeder institutions.
