The goal of this paper is to share theimprovement to avoid having weaknesses in computer engineering technology programs. ABETevaluators look for these points and emphasis the importance of an efficient assessment process.One main goal of the paper is to propose five rubrics that can be used to assess the ABETprogram criteria (a-e) for any computer engineering technology program.1.

Engineering Technology (or discipline specific Engineering Technology) is a critical component of the concerned academic unit and provides additional opportunities for professional and intellectual development at the Masters and Ph.D. level. Thus, several academic departments offering a bachelor‟s degree in Engineering Technology have developed graduate programs. Most of the graduate programs offer a Masters in Technology with concentrations in a specific discipline such as Electrical Engineering Technology, Engineering Technology, Innovation, Energy etc. The number of universities or departments offering Masters programs in Engineering Technology or related field is relatively low (15-20) as compared to the total number of departments

Successful Use of Performance Indicators to Assess Student OutcomesIntroductionWell-written Student Outcomes (SOs) are a vital part of a successful improvement process.However, the SOs are relatively broad statements on what students are expected to know.Performance Indicators (PIs) provide more specific actions that may be used for directmeasurement of SOs, and they are useful tools for assessing the degree to which studentssuccessfully achieve subsets of each SO. During a recent reaccreditation by ETAC/ABET,several engineering technology programs demonstrated successful use of PIs for outcomesassessment and improvement processes.Rubrics have been developed as tools to provide direct measurement of student performance ineach of the SOs. The rubrics
