1 Department of Engineering Technology Assessment Progress Report Calendar Year 2011 (prepared March 2012) The Department of Engineering Technology offers both baccalaureate and associate degrees in Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) and Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET). All of these degrees are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET). In addition, the Department also offers a Bachelor of Applied Technology (B.A.T.) with majors in Industrial Computing and Manufacturing Management. Both of the associate degrees and the B.A.T.s are embedded in their respective baccalaureate degrees. During the past year the Department has been busy preparing its ABET self-study reports (one each for ECET and MET) for its fall 2012 ABET visit, which occurs every six years. These self-study reports deal with the assessment of all aspects of the degree programs, including program educational objectives and student outcomes. Multiple assessment tools have been used, including direct assessment of student work, and surveys of employers and alumni. Both the ECET and MET programs have used a similar approach to conform to the format and requirements stipulated by ABET. The complete self-study reports are voluminous. As an illustration of the Department s assessment activities, a portion of the ECET self-study is shown below (criterion 3 as required by ABET). The student outcomes indicated in criteria 3 have all been measured (assessed) and documented in the complete self-studies. The MET s self-study is similar.

2 CRITERION 3. STUDENT OUTCOMES A. Process for the Establishment and Revision of the Student Outcomes Describe the process used for the establishing and revising student outcomes. The student outcomes are a part of a review cycle, which is conducted every three years (or sooner if needed) by the Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) program in consultation with its Industrial Advisory Council (IAC). The program faculty review the program educational objectives (PEOs) with the IAC and discuss how the curriculum is enabling the PEOs. The curriculum and the student outcomes are discussed in this context. The most recent changes to the PEOs and student outcomes received strong support from the IAC at its spring 2011 meeting. B. Student Outcomes List the student outcomes for the program and describe their mapping to those in Criterion 3 and any applicable program criteria. Indicate where the student outcomes are documented. The ECET program has seventeen student outcomes, the first eleven of which encompass all of the ABET TAC Criterion 3 and map directly to them, on a one-to-one basis. The remaining six student outcomes relate to six program specific criteria, three for electronics engineering technology programs and three for computer engineering technology programs ECET Student Outcomes 1.

All of the student outcomes are shown on the department s website: C. Relationship of Student Outcomes to Program Educational Objectives Describe how the student outcomes prepare graduates to attain the program educational objectives. The following program educational objectives (PEOs) have been established for the ECET graduates. PEO1. The graduates will possess the skills necessary to be productive in their first position in the field and to have successful careers. PEO2. The graduates will be enabled to achieve increasing levels of leadership and responsibility throughout their careers. PEO3. The graduates will be enabled to engage in life-long learning. PEO4. The graduates will demonstrate a respect for diversity and a commitment to professional ethics. The relationship between the student outcomes and the PEOs is shown in table 3.3. In this table, each student outcome is associated with those PEOs that it supports. 5
