| Abstract | In this paper, a continuous improvement process was developed and implemented in our engineering programs at College of Engineering, Qassim University, Saudi Arabia. The continuous improvement plan was based on an integrated set of strategies aimed at: establishing and implementing a structured process that translates educational objectives into measurable outcomes, and specifies feedback tracks for corrective actions. As a result of setting of direct and indirect measures, the programs can assess and evaluate the level of achievement of the program outcomes during the course of the educational process. These relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that students acquire in their matriculation through the program. The documentation of the continuous improvement process, prepared by our engineering programs, describes two intersecting assessment loops; slow and fast. The slow loop refers to the process by which the program examines its program outcomes. The fast loop refers to the process by which we assess the degree to which our students and graduates achieve the educational program objectives developed in the slow loop. The stages of developing and implementing the objectives, outcomes and the assessment plan for the engineering programs are presented. Preliminary results from pilot implementations are also presented. Improvements are already evident in the areas of teaching effectiveness, assessment of student learning, and involvement of all the constituencies. Based on these procedures, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) visit to our engineering programs had achieved great success and all of the programs have fully accredited on August 2010 and the next visit to our engineering programs will be on 2016. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
