- Compliance with the Graduate Attributes and Continual Improvement criteria is an essential component of the accreditation of engineering programs in Canada. In response to this requirement, McGill University’s Faculty of Engineering established a centralized process in which 1) a uniform organizational structure was established, 2) a set of common graduate attribute indicators was developed, 3) the current Learning Management System (D2L) was integrated into the assessment of the graduate attributes, 4) universal indirect assessments for all programs were designed, 5) consistent data analysis and interpretation processes were implemented, and 6) standardized guidelines for continual improvement were created. The implementation of this process, its strengths, and recommendations to increase its efficiency and sustainability are discussed in this paper.
