In 2010, the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) began reviewing programs for progress toward assessment of graduate attributes. This represented a significant change from traditional inputs-based to outcomes-based accreditation. As engineering schools across Canada are considering how to meet the CEAB requirements, this paper provides details on the approach taken by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science at Memorial University and, in particular, the development of course-based learning outcomes.
