Title: Implementing Hansen's Proficiencies

Abstract: The authors describe the framework their department adopted to incorporate Hansen's (1986) proficiencies into the curriculum. Major changes include the identification of tools students should be able to use to complete specific activities, significant changes in prerequisites for upper-division courses, and the development of a capstone experience.
