| Abstract | Measuring non-technical skills (sometimes called “soft skills”), such as the ability to function on teams (ABET Technology Criteria 2000, Criterion 1.e.), or the ability to communicate effectively (Criterion 1.g.) can be a challenge to technology faculty trained in engineering technology, but not necessarily experts in communication or leadership. These skills have traditionally been measured by engineering technology faculty the same way they are evaluated in the workplace: “I know it when I see it.” While this method may lead to a letter grade (“That presentation was pretty good – I’ll give it a B”), this is not truly assessing the student, the presentation or the degree program. Meaningful assessment of the student or of the presentation should include constructive feedback, and assessment of the degree program should include qualitative measurement of the necessary characteristics of a good presentation. Good assessment practices also recommend that data be “triangulated”, or measured in more than one way. |
