was needed to ensure measurable PIs across multiple courses.Reviewing publicly available examples from other engineering programs [7, 10-12] andcollaborating with faculty, we refined and finalized the PIs by Fall 2021, enabling the firstcomprehensive assessment in Spring 2022. To streamline PI assessments, we created course-specific ABET guidelines outlining relevant SOs, PIs, data collection requirements, and samplequestions to support instructors with clear and consistent evaluations. Appendix D includes anexample guideline for a hypothetical calculus course.Separately, we employed a systematic assessment approach, depicted in the flowchart inAppendix E, to evaluate the attainment of SOs. To ensure focused evaluations, courses wererated on

This cityhas experienced significant fiscal hardship, mainly due to the population reduction from GeneralMotors' decision to lower its factory base within that area (Leiser, 2022). In 2011, deficitsreached $25.7 million, leading Flint to come under an emergency manager's control. Four wereappointed from 2011 to 2015
week for three hours. While the feedback from the students about the course wasquite positive, one common critical comment was that meeting once a week for three hours waschallenging and a major drawback for the students. Subsequently in 2020, while due to COVID-19 the course was offered virtually, it was modified to meet twice a week for 75 minutes. In 2021,the class was still a 3-credit course meeting in-person twice a week. Finally, in 2022 and 2023 theclass was switched to the current 2-credit model, meeting once a week for the lecture and once aweek for the 2-hour studio session. These changes were primarily to the course format and not tothe content. Although retention was improved for all the years, the retention data after the
