A plan must exist that details program-level continuous improvement, as well ascourse-level continuous improvement.In this paper, we describe an ABET-driven assessment plan that was originally developed toaddress some weaknesses and concerns identified by program evaluators during a previousaccreditation visit. However, faculty of the Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) seized thisopportunity to embark on a major program revision making use of its newly organized IndustrialAdvisory Board (IAB). As a result, a five-step process that consists of 1) program assessmentplanning, 2) data collection, 3) data analysis, 4
