Abstract:
Based on her extensive experience as an ABET program evaluator, as a training facilitator for program evaluators, and as a former commissioner on the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC), the author developed an efficient and sustainable ABET assessment program based on only three courses. This paper describes the assessment processes, along with the two-year cycle of the assessment schedule, and gives examples of assessment artifacts and rubrics. The paper also describes some common assessment errors and misconceptions, and recommendations on how to avoid them.
