1 SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING Baccalaureate Study in Engineering Goals and Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes Overall Description of the School of Engineering The School of Engineering offers bachelor s degree programs for biomedical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and computer science. The school is an institutional member of several engineering education organizations including ASEE (American Society of Engineering Education) and has student s chapters of various engineering professions including Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Society of Woman Engineers (SWE) and Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society. All engineering degree programs except computer science are accredited by Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The school has an active study abroad program with Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). Qualified CUA engineering juniors can study for one semester at PolyU. Goals and Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes in the School of Engineering The School of Engineering adopted a unified approach for assessment of student learning outcomes. All engineering programs use unified processes to establish, review and evaluate their goals and to assess their student learning outcomes. Establishment, Review and Evaluation of Goals Each engineering program uses the following unified processes to establish, review and evaluate its goals (see goals of individual programs below): 1. Junior Survey 2. Alumni Survey 3. Advisory Board Survey 4. Employer Survey Student Learning Outcome Assessment Each engineering program establishes a set of student learning outcomes (see student learning outcomes of individual programs below) that support the attainment of its goals. It shows how the established student learning outcomes relate to its goals using diagrams and matrices. All engineering programs use the following nine processes to assess the student learning outcomes: Process 1: FE Examination Process 2: Review of Required Courses Process 3: Program Graduating Senior Questionnaire Process 4: Alumni Survey Process 5: Employer Survey Process 6: Senior Design Project Process 7: Student Course Evaluation Process 8: School Survey of Graduating Seniors Process 9: Graduating Seniors Interviewed by Advisory Board Members
2 The student learning outcomes must at least cover the 11 ABET outcomes that are listed below: 1. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering 2. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data 3. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs 4. an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams 5. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems 6. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility 7. an ability to communicate effectively 8. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context 9. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning 10 a knowledge of contemporary issues 11. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. The above assessment processes are briefly described in the following. Process 1-FE (Fundamentals of Engineering) Examination: All senior engineering majors take the FE (Fundamentals of Engineering) examination of the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) before graduation. They register during the spring semester of their junior years and take the exam the following fall. Required course ENGR 401-Senior Seminar offered in Fall Semesters, includes a systematic review of materials covered in the FE-exam. Each year, the engineering program receives and processes its majors pass rates and subject matter scores on this exam to ascertain how well it is meeting its student learning goals and executing program improvements. Process 2-Review of Required Courses: On a 3-year rotating cycle, the program s ABET committee appraises course syllabi, textbooks, lectures and graded student materials (e.g., exams, homework, projects) from a selected portion of required courses. Using the results, the committee prepares a table showing the correlation between each reviewed course and the program s several student learning goals. Process 3-Program Graduating Senior Questionnaires: Graduating seniors complete a Graduating Senior Questionnaire near the end of their last spring semester to offer their opinions and comments regarding their satisfaction with the program. It includes questions that involve student assessment of program outcomes and whether they ascertain that they have achieved these outcomes. (The program chair might also choose to conduct exit interviews with its graduating seniors. They would then complete the questionnaire at the conclusion of the interview.) In addition to questions pertaining to teaching quality, advising and facilities, the survey asks graduating seniors to share their opinions on the program s existing student outcomes (this offers faculty a general impression regarding whether majors believe existing program outcomes deserve modification) and ascertain whether they have achieved these outcomes (this enables the program to assess seniors impressions of their level of achievement of learning outcomes). The ABET committee s report on the results compares current feedback
3 with the previous year s. Process 4-Alumni Survey: Every 3 years, the program surveys alumni who have graduated during the previous 10 years; this includes queries regarding program objectives and outcomes. Alumni opinions about specific outcomes surface another perspective on whether existing program outcomes might deserve modification. Similarly, alumni responses to being asked, whether As a CUA graduate, you have achieved this outcome, enable the program committee to assess a perceived level of achievement of program outcomes. Process 5-Employer Survey: Every 3 years, the program sends surveys to employers of its graduates, seeking their input on student learning outcomes from the perspective of their experience with the program s graduates. Employers answers relative to specific outcomes provide a general impression about whether existing program outcomes satisfy employers needs, while asking whether CUA students you employ have achieved this outcome assesses graduates levels of achievement of existing learning outcomes. Process 6-Senior Design Projects: This process involves several evaluations of the senior design projects, including the following: a. peer evaluation, b. evaluation of team members by fellow members c. evaluation by attendees at the final oral project presentation and d. evaluation by project director/faculty advisor. For each, an evaluation forms offers users guidelines based on seven ABET outcomes and each student s performance in verbal communication skill; teamwork, and formulating, planning and implementing the assigned senior design project under several constraints, such as environmental issues, time and budget. The results of the multi-level evaluation process, which assessment of student design projects entails, appraise majors attainment of seven specific ABET outcomes. Process 7-Student Course Evaluation: Each semester, the university conducts student evaluations of every undergraduate course and beginning graduate level (500-level) courses, which seniors can take as program electives, either online or by asking students to complete questionnaires in class. The first five questions on the standard evaluation form, which are identical for every engineering course, relate directly to the 11 ABET outcomes. The program s ABET committee converts the scores on these questions to student learning outcomes using a transformation matrix, so it can assess whether course work fosters student achievement of learning outcomes. Process 8-School Surveys of Graduating Seniors: At the end of spring semester, the office of the Dean of the School of Engineering asks graduating seniors to complete a School survey, the results of which it distributes to each program. The form contains questions pertaining directly to the 11 ABET outcomes. Scores are averaged and converted to the corresponding student learning outcomes using a transformation matrix, so the program can assess its performance on fostering student achievement of learning outcomes. Process 9-Advisory Board Member Interviews of Graduating Seniors: Members of the program s Advisory Board interview a selected group of graduating seniors to assess their level
4 of achievement of learning outcomes, especially their communications skills, typically during an advisory board meeting. Board members report the results of their interviews on a questionnaire, which the program ABET committee then processes. Use of Results to Improve Student Learning Each engineering program employs the nine assessment processes to improve student learning. First the program ABET committee uses the Data Processing and Presentation (DPP) Workbook to process and present data collected from each assessment process. The committee then analyzes (quantitatively and qualitatively) and interprets the obtained assessment results and recommends preliminary corrective actions. After the collected data of all nine assessment processes are processed, represented, analyzed and interpreted, the committee uses the DPP Workbook to compute the composite scores of all assessment processes and to obtain the graphical representation of the scores from which it reaches conclusions about whether the program is meeting its student learning goals. It finally makes make recommendations for corrective action, if necessary to improve student learning. The cycle of improvement just described is conducted on a yearly basis. In the following we will briefly describe each of the engineering programs and present its student learning outcomes that are assessed and improved using the unified processes described above. ********** DEPARTMENT OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering Program Description The Department of Biomedical Engineering offers an undergraduate degree program leading to the Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering (B.B.E.).
