to ensure that the programs continue to provide effective trainingfor graduates. However, recent changes in the accreditation criteria by both the EngineeringAccreditation Commission (EAC) and the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of theAccreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (AB ET) have increased the attention givento these assessments, and in particular, have created a need for more structured, objective,quantitative, and reliable assessment methods. In response to the increased demands, a numberof schools have expanded existing student and employer surveys, or developed new, morecomprehensive surveys to help collect the data necessary to perform more detailed assessments.

Although there is a graduate program in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciencesdepartment, no graduate students from that program ever attended, making our results unique inrelation to other studies.

The courses content, assessments, teachingmethodologies, and outcomes are discussed in this paper. Our 5 years of program evaluation aresummarized. We describe how our program has been extended to multiple departments in thefaculty of engineering and evolved from the model of individual to joint classes and team-teaching.

We took several steps to create the scale, includingface/content validity analysis, exploratory factor analyses for validity evidence, and internalconsistency for reliability evidence.
