Many administrators end up declaring a faculty‘pass’ or ‘fail’ and do not think that they can and must optimize their performances. In fact, theyhave to play a major role in optimizing performances of their faculty to increase chances ofsuccess of their organization.AcknowledgementsWe thank all the faculty colleagues who participated in the exercise.

advisable to stock upon enough parts to allow time for a transition should it be necessary.Before The BitBoard, we were using IDL-800 Digital Lab instruments to support the gate-levelexperiments and the DE1 for the FPGA experiments. The IDL-800’s had served us well formany years but were showing wear and tear. Replacement costs for the IDL-800’s exceed $400per unit. So finding a lower cost option was one motivation for developing The BitBoard whichcost about $60 each for parts and assembly.Another motivation was to develop a take-home lab kit enabling students to work on theirexperiments and projects at home and at their convenience. Previously, students were given anIDL-800 solderless breadboard to take home for wiring circuits prior to coming to

We chose this approach because all students take the required courses. • Although a benchmark course will likely address multiple Student Outcomes, typically one or two of its learning outcomes will be designated for course-embedded assessment. • Because Student Outcomes are assessed in two groups on a rotating schedule, the benchmark courses are organized and assessed in two alternating
