Assessment Process At A Large Institution

This presentation focuses on the challenges encountered at a large, diversified institution as it organized itself, developed strategies, and implemented plans for continuous improvement through outcomes assessment of its undergraduate engineering programs. Several questions are addressed, including the following. What have been the respective roles of the faculty and administration? What has been Michigan State University's critical path in transforming itself to comply with ABET Engineering Criteria 2000 [1], [2]? What has changed in terms of the institutional self-study process? What important feedback has come from constituents? What benefits have been realized? What are some of the ongoing projects to further improve the academic programs? And, finally, how much did this effort cost?
