Outcomes Assessment In An Met Program

Engineering technology programs are now faced with the challenge of implementing outcomes assessment based on the TAC/ABET criterion in the TC2K accreditation document. While continuous improvement has been a common theme in prior accreditation requirements, the TC2K criterion takes the assessment of student learning outcomes to the logical next level. This paper will address the basics of creating a student learning outcomes assessment plan for a TAC/ABET accredited four-year Mechanical Engineering Technology degree program. Where and how learning outcomes can be assessed will be discussed.
