We must collect ABET assessment data on a two-year cycle for most of our undergraduate courses. This data takes the form of selected homework and exam questions for lecture courses and completion of the lab report assessment rubric for lab courses. Please note that this data must be collected for every student during the semester before homework/exam/lab reports are returned to the students. Unless you plan to keep a copy of everything your students turn in, this cannot be done retroactively at the end of the semester. Examples of student work do not have to be collected at this time.
ABET assessment data must be collected for the following courses:
Fall semester: MSE 310, 324, 330, 350, 423, 425, 430, 431, 440, 445, 491
Spring semester: MSE 210, 301, 321, 331, 333, 424, 434, 435, 450, 455, 460, 556
We need everyone's participation in this process to receive ABET accreditation for our program. Thanks in advance for doing your part by completing the assessment data collection in a timely manner.
