Description of assessment methods is plentiful in the literature but on the other hand,the literature is also rather poor on determining the true cost of assessing learning outcomes atinstitutions of higher education. The few available studies on this subject reveal costs that areusually a complete surprise to many faculty and administrators.The cost factor is especially critical for engineering technology programs trying to adaptassessment methods used by larger and wealthier departments. On the other hand thesedepartments can assess their outcomes by methods that are not available to other disciplines dueto the
