ASSESSING CEAB GRADUATE ATTRIBUTES AT RYERSON UNIVERSITY: FRAMEWORK AND INGREDIENTS FOR SUCCESS

The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) has recently introduced a new criterion for accreditation of engineering programs. The criterion included 12 graduate attributes. Each engineering program must have a system in place for assessing these attributes and using the assessment results to continuously improve the engineering program. The development of a system for assessing CEAB graduate attributes at Ryerson University has started in April 2010. This paper highlights the developed system, including framework, elements, process, and ingredients for success.
