  1. Accreditation of a Dual-Degree Bi-directional Exchange Program JoergMossbrucker Milwaukee School of Engineering - MSOE

  2. Overview Milwaukee, Wisconsin Founded 1848 Population 600 000 Luebeck, Germany Founded 1143 Population 214 000

  3. Overview Milwaukee School of Engineering MSOE Milwaukee, WI, U.S.A. Urban Campus Established 1903 25 Degree Programs App. 2200 Students University of Applied Sciences FHL Luebeck, Germany Suburban Campus Established 1808 26 Degree Programs App. 4600 Students

  4. Overview

  5. Accreditation • U.S.A. - ABET, for Engineering and Technology • Europe (esp. Germany) – many different accreditation agencies, which themselves are certified by national accreditation boards -> “the agony of choice” However All accreditation is based on the same principles!

  6. Accreditation Long-Term Strategic Planning • Mission Statement • Vision Statement • Program Educational Objectives • Input from constituents • Input from IAC • Long cycle time (5 years) Short-Term Quality Assurance • Assessment of Program Outcomes • Continuous Course Improvement • Assessment • Relative short cycle time (1-2 years)

  7. Accreditation Say what you do Show what you do Do what you say

  8. Accreditation MSOE Students FHL Students BSEE MSOE BSEE FHL Four Paths

  9. Long Term Planning 90% overlap MSOE PEO FHL PEO MSOE constituents FHL constituents

  10. Long Term Planning • Both universities conduct assessment of PEOs independent of the other institution • Results are shared with the other institution • Fulfillment of PEOs assumes fulfillment of PEOs for both student bodies for each institution

  11. Long Term MSOE Students FHL Students BSEE MSOE BSEE FHL 5 Years MSOE PEOs FHL Peos

  12. Short TermContinuous Improvement Course Level • Assessment of course outcomes • Responsibility of the individual instructor • Independent of exchange program Program Level • Assessment of Program Outcomes (ABET A-K) • Responsibility of the program • Dependent on the exchange program

  13. Short TermContinuous Improvement Requirements for Assessment of Program Outcomes • No student body is systematically excluded from the continuous improvement process • All paths leading to the degree must be assessed • Six paths including the non-exchange students • No substantial additional work for the individual instructors!!!

  14. MSOE Short Term MSOE Students FHL Students Every Path Must fulfill Program Outcomes exchange students exchange students Non-exchange students MSOE BSEE

  15. Strategy • Assess Program Outcomes in courses together with Course Outcomes No additional work for individual instructor • Separate the three student bodies in the assessment Minimal additional work for individual instructor

  16. Strategy MSOE exchange students FHL exchange students Empty A-K A-K A-K A-K Empty A-K MSOE Non-exchange students

  17. Strategy • Assess as many Program Outcomes in exclusive courses as possible • Assess the Remainder of the Program Outcomes in as few courses as possible and separate the three student bodies in the assessment All Paths are separately assessed!

  18. Result • Successful First Dual Accreditation in 2006/2007 • Successful Dual Re-Accreditation in 2012 For All Six Paths!
