While these ad hocexperiments did not provide the department with much useful assessment data, thisperiod of experimentation was vitally important in getting faculty members to beginthinking about how they might assess student achievement of program outcomes. Asmany in the engineering and technology education community maintain, faculty buy-in isessential to the success of any ongoing assessment process that tracks continuousimprovement.2-5 The time of experimenting with different processes allowed faculty totake ownership of processes they designed themselves rather than to resist compliancewith processes foisted on them from
