There are many assessment methods usedin order to be accredited under EC 2000 and many varied forms have been displayedsince it began. This paper shows a few examples of the ways assessment concepts anddata are used and implemented by the Engineering Management Program at StevensInstitute of Technology to show continuous improvement.An online assessment system was adopted by Stevens Institute of Technology in the late1990’s to stream line the majority of the engineering department’s assessment datacollection and display the majority of its data in one easily accessible location.
