use of student employers and supervisors as partof an engineering program’s assessment plan. In 2016, our institution, York College ofPennsylvania, started a new civil engineering program, with the goal of becoming ABET-accredited. This new program joined three other engineering programs already established at theschool. As part of the program design, students were required to complete three mandatory full-time co-op experiences, each lasting 12-15 weeks, interspersed with the traditional eightsemesters of classroom and lab instruction. In developing this program the authors wanted toinclude a standardized evaluation tool for the co-op students’ performance that was easy foremployers to use and was focused on developing the student by an
