Many articles have been published for course and program assessment in preparation for ABET/TAC evaluations. There is no single method to accomplish course and program assessment. In this paper, a detailed method is described to conduct such assessments by considering the contribution of each course assignment to the student learning outcomes for that course, and, in turn, the contribution of each course to the program outcomes. The method uses a software program to enter student grade data for each course semi-real-time during the semester. The instructor, based on the student scores, can choose to stress those topics in which the students perform weakly to assure that the student learning outcomes are achieved by the conclusion of the course. The method reveals strengths and weaknesses of the students based on assignment scores that are correlated to the achievement of student learning outcome for each course. To utilize the method for the assessment of program level outcomes, the method must be adopted by the department or program and the entire faculty involved in teaching. Each faculty member completes information about assignments (assessment activities) and how those assignments relate to the student learning outcomes for the courses they are teaching. In addition, each faculty maps how the course learning outcomes are related to program outcomes. Then, the software automatically combines the data from all faculty to reveal strengths and weaknesses in the program learning outcomes. The results can then be utilized to close the loop in education, by incorporating the necessary modifications to the courses in the curriculum, and start a continuous improvement cycle. In this paper, the mapping process of linking assignments to student learning outcomes for each course, connecting each course outcome to the program outcomes, and further, combining the data to reveal strengths and weaknesses in the curriculum as they relate to achieving ABET/TAC criteria, are presented with examples.
