Abstract

Criterion 2: A Discussion of ABET Program Educational ObjectivesDiscussion at this talk will center on the program educational objectives required by ABET.Program educational objectives are different than program outcomes. Although institutions mayuse different terminology, for purposes of Criterion 2, program educational objectives are broadstatements that describe the career and professional accomplishments that the program is preparinggraduates to achieve. We will review what makes a good objective from the point-of-view of anABET reviewer and various ways to implement and measure a program objective.
