Assessment and continuous improvement are essential and critical processes for higher education. Development and implementation of such processes are not only required by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) as part of the accreditation process but are also necessary for the maturation and development of any engineering technology program. The assessment and continuous improvement plan discussed here was developed at Old Dominion University (ODU) and implemented during the last accreditation cycle within the Engineering Technology Department. The plan is based on two cycles of assessment and evaluation, a short cycle of one year and a long term cycle of three years. The plan includes a variety of assessment methods and tools. In addition to assessing the achievement of program outcomes, the plan allows assessment of program objectives and goals. A method for individual course assessment is also presented. Issues related to institutionalization of the assessment process are also discussed.

Direct Measures

This paper presents an assessment system developed for ABET accreditation. The system links program outcomes to course outcomes through a set of performance criteria. In each course, direct measures are used to assess how well the course outcomes are met. Assessment data from each course is then mapped to the program level to measure achievement of the program outcomes. First, details of the assessment process are explained with applications of the process to an automation course. Then, a brief overview of the course and laboratory content are provided.
