Session Number 1896 A Simple and Effective Curriculum Assessment Procedure Jim Richardson Civil Engineering Dept., University of AlabamaAbstract This paper describes a curriculum assessment procedure that is easy to use and providesmeaningful results. The core of the procedure is a review by a department committee of studentwork from each civil engineering course. The author proposed the idea of a peer-reviewassessment procedure to the faculty during a departmental retreat and the faculty developed theimplementation plan. Our department has completed two cycles of the assessment

As a result of this feedback, DEIinstruction was tied to ABET SO 5 as part of the program’s continuous improvement plan. Tyingthis instruction to student outcome assessment does two important things: 1) it makes DEI inengineering a permanent feature in the program so that all students see the content and 2) it willbe assessed and improved upon each year as a part of ongoing improvements to the institution’sengineering program.In 2020, the DEI instructor was again the course instructor, and the module extended over aperiod of three days.

A large-scale national survey was conducted,which included questions on many topics including advising. While there were many areas inwhich the two populations were the same, several key differences emerged, with returnersplacing a higher value on course planning topics than direct pathway students did, and less valueon advising focused on plans beyond the completion of the

-regulation in action (SRA) or strategicaction (SA), is the basis of self-regulated learning (SRL). SRC is comprised of iterative andrecursive cycles of interpreting requirements, planning (e.g., resources, time, strategies),implementing cognitive processes, monitoring progress, evaluating progress against internal andexternal standards, and continually refining approaches to better achieve goals (see Figure 1)[16]. This iterative process continues until a problem is solved or the student abandons the goal.As students manage their activities in tasks, they engage in iterative cycles of strategic activity,including actively interpreting requirements (i.e., interpreting task), developing a plan of action(i.e., planning), acting on a developed plan, and
