Streamlining Program Assessment for ABET: What to do with all that data James Allert University of Minnesota Duluth Abstract—One of the most daunting tasks of ABET accreditation is preparation ofprogram assessment reports. Since these are necessarily a distillation of data fromnumerous sources (including all courses that have been assessed) the process can belaborious and error-prone. This paper presents a software solution called ProgramAssessor developed by the author at the Department of Computer Science at TheUniversity of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) that automates the process of data compilation,analysis, summarization and report generating.

women students inthe College of Engineering at NC State University [1]. The program was first outlined in 2009 atthe ASEE Annual Conference. When the program was started, admitted students with the lowestmath SAT scores were invited to attend. This decision was taken, because internal researchindicated that math performance was predictive of engineering retention, and it was desired toincrease the retention of engineering students who identify as female. Over time, the SAT scoresof admitted engineering students have increased significantly. Additionally, the activitiesdesigned to instill confidence in mathematics were determined through assessment to have littleeffect. Therefore, the activities of the camp were redesigned to focus more on

Planning Only One Assignment to Assess Two of the New ABET Student OutcomesIntroductionSince the new changes in ABET’s student outcomes took effect in Fall 2019, programs havebeen modifying their assessment plans to address the latest changes. Adopting the new outcomesrequired program coordinators to review and update their assessment plans in order to ensureefficient and effective assessment. The new implementations provided clarification for some ofthe outcomes that previously had been vague and difficult to measure. For example, outcome3(d) “ability to function on multidisciplinary teams” was revised into its new 3(5) outcome “anability to function effectively on a team whose members, together, provide leadership, create
