The assessment data will be usedto improve the course objectives and goals as well as provide feedback to the University’s regionalaccreditation institution, The Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Collegesand Schools (SACSCOC). The criteria for accrediting engineering technology programs for 2018-2019 (ABET-ETAC) are in two sections—general and program specific criteria [30]. The generalcriterion 5 describes that the curriculum must effectively develop certain subject areas in supportof student outcomes and program educational objectives [30]. Similarly, ABET-ETAC
