Engineering Program Assessment Process

The assessment process for the Engineering program is shown in Figure 1 . The process has two loops, or
cycles. The innermost cycle performs the assessment of individual courses and is done semiannually (i.e.,
twice a year), or each time the course is given. The outermost cycle is the overall program assessment
process, which incorporates the course assessment cycle as a key element. This cycle is done on a
biennial basis (i.e., every two years).
