ABET Quality Assessment Program
  • Successful assessment
  • Flows from the institution's mission and
    educational purposes.
  • Emerges from a conceptual framework.
  • Is marked by faculty ownership and
    responsibility.
  • Has institution-wide support.
  • Relies on multiple measures.
  • Provides feedback to students and the
    institution.
  • Is cost-effective.
  • Does not restrict or inhibit goals of access,
    equity, and diversity established by the
    institution.
  • Leads to improvement.
  • Includes a process for evaluating the assessment
    program.
  • What are we trying to do?

Grades are global evaluations that represent the
overall proficiency of students. They dont tell
you about student performance on
individual learning goals First, answer these
questions 1. What do you really want students to
know and learn? 2. What are your students
actually learning? 3. What can you do to help
students learn what you believe they need to
know? Then, follow these steps 1. Identify and
articulate what students should learn in your
class 2. Develop tools to measure student
learning 3. Establish systems to compile and
analyze the data you collect with these tools 4.
Use the information gathered to improve/adapt
curricula, pedagogy, and goals
