In addition tohaving a continuous improvement process that closes the loop and provides improvement thatensures a high quality education, there are many issues that programs must document andaddress in the self-study report. This paper will review the basic ABET Criteria that need to befulfilled to ensure a successful accreditation visit. This will be discussed from the perspective ofan institution that recently completed a successful accreditation visit and is in the process ofrevising its assessment processes to respond to the recent general criteria changes.Introduction/BackgroundABET has become an international

” – those foundational concepts you want the students to retain even 2-3 years after they complete the course. What knowledge and skills (including critical thinking) should the students master? What is worthwhile for the students to know? What are the “big ideas” underlying the topic? Stage 2: Determine Acceptable Evidence The educator determines what constitutes acceptable evidence for indicating those results have been achieved. In this approach the assessment is planned before the classroom instruction is planned. Stage 3: Plan Learning Experiences and Instruction The educator now plans the learning experiences and instruction to meet the goals.It is sometimes referred to as “backward design” because it

briefly present the salient features of the IFYEP model as manifestedin a pilot program at SBC.IMPLEMENTATION OF IFYEPFor purposes of comparison, we briefly indicate the structure of the first semester at SBC beforethe implementation of the IFYEP. Students typically had a fixed schedule of classes their firstsemester, with some divergence (depending upon degree plan) taking place in the secondsemester. For example, first semester students take courses in student success (PSYC 100),computer skills (CSCI 101), composition (ENGL 110), and math (MATH 099 thru 103) inalignment with their placement test. The classes and the instructors more or less operatedindependently, with few students ending up in multiple classes together.The development of the

Vision four adds a hardened transmission and distributionsystems to the third vision 3, replacing critical transmission links with underground HVDC aswell as reconfigured transmission. This vision also includes increased storage capabilities. Thelast vision adds new transmission connections to the fourth vision.The model used for this project is based on co-optimized expansion planning (CEP).

However, due to lackof experiences in business operations, most of the students feel the course difficult to learn. Thetraditional teacher-oriented teaching method, in which the teacher explains the textbook contentsto students, makes students lose interests and confidence. An online Operations Managementcourse in which the students and instructor have limited/no face-to-face communications is evenmore challenging.How to stimulate students’ enthusiasm and critical thinking, and increase students' engagementin and out of classroom is crucial for

Thisincludes time and task management, assistance with planning an academic roadmap as well asinformation on co-curricular and extra-curricular activities that could develop one’s portfolio as achemical engineer, such as research, internships, co-ops, study abroad and (chemical)engineering clubs. Finally, the curriculum does not typically provide early information on thesteps necessary to prepare for one’s career. Failure to understand the answers to such questionscan result in students dropping the major, struggling academically, failing to make a connectionwith peers and resources, and facing challenges when applying for jobs due to inadequate careerpreparation.To address this gap in the curriculum
