Higher Education and the Technology Accreditation Commission of theAccreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET) are very concerned and require Outcomesand Assessments at the course level as well as at the program level.We are trying to approach Outcomes and Assessments from building a basic shell. This shell will be a database,a repository of information on the students that take a particular class. The database will contain the student’spersonal information. The other part of the shell will be a spreadsheet created in EXCEL that will contain basicstudent data imported from ACCESS, test scores, attendance and homework. Each of the above categories willbe a separate sheet in the EXCEL spreadsheet.Primarily, we are going to build
