| Abstract | As implementation of Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC2000) has matured so have the expectations of program assessment as viewed by many ABET- EAC program evaluators. Most engineering programs are preparing or have just completed a second visit under the new criteria and find that assessment practices considered acceptable for the first EC2000 visit no longer are. Surprises at this point are clearly not appreciated. ABET’s current concern with the EC2000 accreditation process is to make program evaluations consistent, while programs are concerned with developing assessment programs that meet ABET’s expectations but at the same time are sustainable. The process remains episodic for many programs while the intention of EC2000 is to make program assessment systematic. As both an ABET evaluator, and the individual with administrative responsibilities for accrediting five engineering programs at California State University, Chico, the author offers suggestions to help develop a clear framework for assessment activities and to help make the process sustainable. Examples of annual timelines for collection, evaluation, and overall reporting strategies based on the author’s experience are offered. |
