This paper describes a simple yet powerful tool which, we believe, will help you answer this question. The tool is a time survey, used extensively in the civil engineering program at the United States Military Academy. The survey has been in continuous use since 1988. Today it functions as an integral element of a comprehensive, multi-dimensional assessment system, used to manage the ABET-accredited USMA civil engineering program.* As a course-level and program-level assessment tool, the survey offers much at very little cost. It requires few resources and very little time to administer; yet, the authors have found, this modest tool facilitates improved teaching, responsive course development, and rational management of the entire academic program.
