student learningthat many find most important in guiding continuous improvement actions.Aside from collecting too much data, programs often fail to link course-level assessment ofCLOs to the program’s student outcomes, making it difficult or impossible to determine theextent to which student outcomes are attained. In other instances, it becomes difficult todetermine if students in the program have attained the desired knowledge or skill. Assessmentinstruments that are simultaneously used to measure attainment of more than one studentoutcome or performance indicator1 confound the data. For example, grades on a laboratoryreport are used as data for assessing written communication. If the same grade covers bothtechnical aspects of the laboratory and

However, a balancemust be met for providing a rigorous informal academic environment for the students whileallowing them to enjoy the program’s activities so that they will remember the experiencepositively and perhaps consider STEM-related degrees and careers.
