A holistic approach for a CQI model would require a systematicmeasurement of performance indicators in all three of Bloom’s domains of learning and theircorresponding categories of learning levels for all course levels of a program’s curriculum.It is clearly stated in multiple research papers published by the National Institute of LearningOutcomes Assessment (NILOA) [15,16] and others [5,17,18] that in many higher education institutions,actual CQI and accreditation efforts are minimally integrated and that ideally CQI instead ofaccreditation standards should be the prime driver for outcomes assessment. Unfortunately,accreditation was the prime driver for outcomes assessment and the topic of more than 1,300journal articles between 2002

TheEngineer of 2020. Professionals who graduate with engineering degrees of any discipline maydirectly use their undergraduate technical knowledge as well as use, in more general terms, theirengineering problem solving approaches in many fields. Today’s engineers work in traditionalas well as non-traditional fields perceived completely different from any design theory studied inthe classroom. Many industries, from mainstream business and consulting to design andmanufacturing, desire to hire engineers for their learned way of thinking and ability to applyavailable resources to improve quality of product, service and thus human life.
