6 3. EET/CET Continuous Improvement Plan The EET and CET program has developed a systematic and rigorous assessment, evaluation and continuous improvement plan. First, the EET and CET defined a set of performance criterion for each student outcome (a thru k). These performance criteria are used to measure student outcomes in a consistent and reliable manner. The performance criterion for each of the student outcomes are shown in Table 1.2(A) thru (K). Second, the faculty decided how the performance criterion would be assessed and what assessment tools and methods were needed. The faculty decided on the following set of assessment tools and methods: A set of rubrics that faculty would use to assess the performance criterion associated with each outcome in courses selected from the curriculum. A rubric that members of the industrial advisory board would use to assess senior design capstone projects. The Professional Practice Co-op Employer Survey form in which co-op employers rank student performance in the workplace criterion associated with the student outcomes. A senior survey designed to assess quality of student advising, quality of laboratory equipment, and an understanding of the need for continued professional development. Furthermore, the faculty decided to collect assessment data and evaluate student outcomes on a yearly basis. The faculty members collect assessment data throughout an entire academic year then meet each autumn semesterto evaluate the assessment data and determine where improvements were needed. After data is evaluated by the program faculty, the assessment data and plans for improvement are presented to the industrial advisory board and to the college assessment committee. The effectiveness of the changes is measured through the following year s assessment data. Figure 1.1 provides an overview of the current assessment, evaluation, and continuous improvement plan. Per this plan, at the end of each evaluation cycle, an annual report is compiled with the prior year s assessment data, faculty evaluation of the data, and plans for improvement. The report also includes all relevant meeting minutes and a copy of the summary report presented to the industrial advisory board and the college assessment committee. These annual reports are available online, and accessible upon request. Figure 1.2 lists the courses in the curriculum used for assessment and evaluation (i.e., where data are collected) as well as which rubrics are used in the assessment process (methods of assessment). Courses were chosen from freshmen to senior year in order to assess student progress in meeting program outcomes and to allow early identification of any problem areas. Our strong curriculum is built on good foundation courses with a focus on student outcomes.

14 Creativity and Innovation ABET-TAC.2.D Project Complexity ABET-TAC.2.D ABET-TAC.2.F Testing and Analysis ABET-TAC.2.F Project Management ABET-TAC.2.K ABET-TAC.8.B Aesthetic Design ABET-TAC.2.K Student showed no evidence of creativity or innovation in the design of the project. Student chose a simple project with limited scope that required very little creative development or technical expertise. Student demonstrated little or no ability to troubleshoot hardware and/or software for the project. Student failed to meet most of the deadlines for the project and the project was not completed in time. Student did a sloppy job of wiring and soldering hardware and/or writing the software code for the project. Little or no consideration was given to packaging or appearance. Student showed some creativity in the project design. Student chose a project with acceptable scope that solves a technical problem and required some technical expertise in hardware and/or software. Student was able to identify the problems in hardware and/or software but required some assistance in fixing some of the problems. Student fell behind on the project schedule but was able to catch up and get the project working at an acceptable level by the final due date. Wiring and soldering was neat and some thought was given to the visual design of any software interface. The project appears neat and organized but packaging was not a consideration. Student demonstrated innovation in the design of hardware or software components or in packaging. Student chose a complex project with good technical challenges that required innovative problem solving and engineering. Student demonstrated the ability to test hardware and/or software in order to identify technical problems, and was able to solve any problems with little or no assistance. Student did a good job of following the schedule and completed the project by the final due date. The project was visually appealing with some thought given to packaging and PWB design. Software interface(s) were clearly designed with appearance and ease of use in mind. Figure 1.3: Course Design Project Rubric Student completed a project that required a lot of creativity and innovation in design, layout, and packaging. Student chose an innovative, challenging project that required an effort that exceeds the normal expectations for the course project. Student developed a good systematic procedure for testing hardware and/or software that allowed for quick identification of technical problems. Student was very good at analyzing and quickly solving all technical problems. Student worked ahead of schedule to complete the project early leaving plenty of time for project improvement. Student went above and beyond to package the project as a finished product. Using the rubrics, a faculty member teaching one of the courses chosen for assessment rates each student enrolled in the course on several criteria as Unacceptable, Acceptable, Good, or Exemplary. The rubrics are carefully worded to clearly describe the competencies expected for each of these ratings. These descriptions make the expectations of our program very clear and help ensure consistency among the faculty when rating students. The rubrics are not tied to the specific content in a course and can therefore be used in multiple courses throughout the

15 curriculum. Using the same rubric from freshmen to senior year allows us to measure student development as they progress through the curriculum. The program uses two assessment tools which provide feedback from practicing engineers in industry. Students are assessed by their co-op employers (co-op is mandatory) using a survey developed by Professional Practice at University of Cincinnati in which employers rate the coop students on abilities tied closely to the ABET a-k outcomes. The senior capstone projects are evaluated by members of our industrial advisory board and include ratings on technical knowledge and design, project aesthetics and creativity, and oral presentation skills. In addition to faculty and industry assessment, a senior survey is conducted every year to gather input from senior students regarding a variety of aspects of their academic experience with BSEET and BSCET program and the University of Cincinnati. The survey is designed to gather information on the effectiveness of student advising, progress through the program, opinions on quality of the lab equipment, and to assess students understanding of the need for continued professional development beyond graduation. It also serves as a forum for highlighting any areas of particular concern to the students, and thus may bring to light issues that the faculty was unaware of. Benchmarks The faculty set benchmarks for each of the assessment tools described in the previous subsection. For each rubric, benchmarks are set for the maximum allowable percent of students rated as unacceptable, the minimum allowable percent of students rated as good or exemplary, and a minimum overall average. The benchmarks are higher for upper level courses reflecting an expectation that students will perform at higher levels as their educational experience and work experience increases. Assessment Data Collection and Documentation Process In order to make the assessment process manageable for the faculty, we will develop a webbased application to upgrade the previous software (a java application) developed by a former faculty member that creates electronic versions of the rubrics which include the names of all the students registered in a particular course. The new web-based application is platform independent, and faculty members then simply open the electronic rubric for their course and evaluate each of the students using the assessment criteria. Aggregate data for the course is automatically created when the rubric is saved. Assessment data is collected throughout the academic year and entered into a database where benchmarks are automatically checked and assessment charts for each course are created. Faculty members meet at the start of each academic year to discuss the assessment data and to address areas where benchmarks were not met. Review of the program educational objectives occurs on a regular schedule as shown in Table 3.1:
