The curriculum was developed rigorouslybased on the needs of the industry to build the manufacturing workforce. An effective ABETassessment process will help build a curriculum that meets the standards necessary to preparegraduates to enter industrial manufacturing fields in the global workforce. A curriculumdevelopment and assessment committee (CDAC) was formed in the first year the program waslaunched. The assessment plan includes direct and indirect assessment measures for studentoutcome attainments. It targets not only program-level outcome attainment but also course-leveloutcomes. Continuous improvement involves evaluation of the

With that desire, we have reason to research if these project managementskills and concepts are being taught effectively enough to prepare students for senior-levelcapstone courses and future careers. Degree programs that do not heavily focus on managementprinciples may impact students' abilities to obtain manager-style roles. Outside the classroom,there are opportunities to obtain this experience, such as through internships and studyingabroad. Data collected stem from a self-efficacy questionnaire administered to 811 students andvoluntarily completed by 361.
