quality improvement systems of the program may well require acultural shift of the institution’s administrators and faculty.ConclusionsFor continuous improvement processes, ABET’s Criterion 4 focuses the primary mechanismprogram improvement on appropriate assessment and evaluation of student outcomes (whatstudents need to know and be able to do at the time of graduation), e.g., data driven improvementactions based on demonstrated student learning (or lack of such learning). The AUN-QA criteriahave a much broader focus on quality improvement, asking programs to use a wide variety ofinputs within their quality system. Some of the measures of quality included in the AUN-QAcriteria include traditional output measures, e.g., Criterion 10’s

The students also reported satisfactionfrom the use of the eportfolio primarily due to the creative format. Finally, the use of theeportfolios provided additional pedagogical insight that was not readily available from thetechnical memo format.References[1] S.

. This diversity results in a datasetthat currently comprises twenty-five years of data that includes 1,014,887 unique undergraduate,degree-seeking students. Of those students 210,725 were ever enrolled in engineering. While theoriginal database contains only eleven institutions, the plan for MIDFIELD has always been toexpand the database to include all public institutions in the United States that offer undergraduateprograms in engineering. An award by the National Science Foundation (#1545667,$4,010,978.00, 03/01/16 to 02/28/2021) will support increasing the number of partnerinstitutions to 103.

plan toconduct similar studies in which we investigate the role of class level (i.e., freshman andsophomore classes versus junior and senior), major, and historically underrepresented groups,such as women and minorities. This preliminary study resulted in the development of a resourcethat instructors can hand out or show their students on the first day. Ultimately, in a field oftendriven by numbers, there is great power in showing engineering students that, mathematically,their academic success depends on consistent class attendance, diligent note-taking, and keepingup with the instructor during class.References1.

Theproject design and implementation also satisfied many of student learning outcomes, asdefined by ABET, for capstone design projects.VII.

However, it was notknown how many students and from which years would select this particular OIP as this wasone of four OIPs organized by the Glasgow College, UESTC. Another unknown was whetherany UESTC students would attend the OIP – let alone information on their year(s) of study inwhich degree programme(s). While the majority of UESTC students were
