ABET Program Improvement Process

The department is responsible for verifying that its graduates satisfy the education objectives of its programs. ABET has stated that achievement of education objectives should be measured three to five years after graduation, the following process is used to that end. The EECE Department has developed a Program Improvement Process that is repeatable, manageable, and sustainable. The plan is based on the objectives established for computer and electrical programs offered by the department. The process is executed once each year, but there is a different set of inputs each year . The process begins each year with a review of the assessment tool(s) that will be used to gather that year’s data. Based on past results, the faculty may choose to update or replace a given assessment tool. The primary sources of data for the improvement process are: employers, Industrial Advisory Board, alumni, students, and faculty. The data is collected and tabulated by a subset of the faculty. The data is then reviewed by the faculty to determine what, if any, changes should be considered. If needed, a Change Improvement Plan is developed. Based on the plan, changes are implemented.
