This book is written for engineering faculty and department chairs
as a practical guide to improving the assessment processes for
undergraduate and graduate engineering education in the service of
improved student learning. It is written by engineering faculty and
assessment professionals who have many years of experience in
assessment of engineering education and of working with engineering
faculty.The book reflects the emphasis placed on student outcomes
assessment by ABET, Inc., the organization that accredits most U.S.
engineering, computer science and technology programs, as well as
providing substantial equivalency evaluations to international
engineering programs. The book begins with a brief overview of
assessment theory and introduces readers to key assessment
resources. It illustrates-through practical examples that reflect a
wide range of engineering disciplines and practices at both large
and small institutions, and along the continuum of students'
experience, from first year to capstone engineering courses through
to the dissertation-how to go about applying formative and
summative assessment practices to improve student learning at the
course and program levels. For most institutions, assessment of
graduate education is new; therefore, there are readers who will be
particularly interested in the chapters and examples related to
graduate education. This book concludes with a vision for the
future of assessment for engineering education. The authors cover
five basic themes: -Use of assessment to improve student learning
and educational programs at both undergraduate and graduate
levels-Understanding and applying ABET criteria to accomplish
differing program and institutionalmissions-Illustration of
evaluation/assessment activities that can assist faculty in
improving undergraduate and graduate courses and
programs-Description of tools and methods that have been
demonstrated to improve the quality of degree programs and maintain
accreditation-Identification of methods for overcoming
institutional barriers and challenges to implementing assessment
initiatives
