Error Tracking: An Assessment Tool for Small-Enrollment CoursesIntroduction:A program undergoing ABET accreditation must institute a procedure of assessing studentoutcome1. This is often done in class-by-class analysis. Instructors teaching large-enrollmentclasses have enough students that statistically significant assessment data can be collectedwithout significant hardship to the professor. For small-enrollment classes, the same assessmentdata may not provide any meaningful information, as there may or may not be enough datapoints to derive statistically significant conclusions. A novel method of assessment comprised ofcategorizing and tracking individual errors is presented and discussed in this paper as a
