  4. Goals: What are the overall goals of the program? How do they complement institutional and accreditation expectations? Program Objectives: What are the program objectives? What should your students know and be able to do? Performance Criteria: How will you know the objectives have been met? What level of performance meets each objective? Implementation Strategy: How will the objectives be met? What program activities (curricular and co-curricular) help you meet each objective? Evaluation Methods: What assessment methods will you use to collect data? How will you interpret and evaluate the data? Logistics: When will you measure? How often? Who will collect and interpret the data and report the results? Feedback: Who needs to know the results? How can you convince them the objectives were met? How can you improve your program and your assessment process? Program Assessment and Evaluation Matrix

  8. Example Mission Electrical & Computer Engineering The mission of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is to serve society through excellence in education, research, and public service. We provide for our students an education in electrical and computer engineering, and we aspire to instill in them the attitudes, values, and vision that will prepare them for lifetimes of continued learning and leadership in their chosen careers. Through scholarship the Department strives to generate new knowledge and technology for the benefit of the Kingdom of Bahrain and beyond. Program’s Mission

  9. Program’s Mission Program’s Mission Example mission Electrical & Computer Engineering The department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has as its mission the accumulation, generation, and dissemination of knowledge in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Central to the mission is a high quality educational and research program that benefits our students and the Kingdom of Bahrain. The Department acts as a Kingdom focal point for development, growth and entrepreneurship. The national and international reputation of the department also facilitates future growth in areas of fundamental economic importance to the Kingdom.

  10. Program Constituencies

  11. PEO’s are consistent with the mission Ensure that PEO’s are well-stated and measurable. PEO’s can be linked with the curriculum for the Program Involve constituencies Program Educational Objectives (PEO’s)

  12. Example PEO’s There are four Program Educational Objectives for the electrical and Electronics engineering programs: Depth:To provide students with understanding of the fundamental knowledge prerequisite for the practice of, or for advanced study in, electrical/electronics engineering, including its scientific principles, rigorous analysis, and creative design. Breadth:To provide students with the broad education, including knowledge of important current issues in engineering with emphasis on electrical/Electronics engineering, necessary for productive careers in the public or private sectors, or for the pursuit of graduate education. Professionalism: To develop skills for clear communication and responsible teamwork, and to inculcate professional attitudes and ethics, so that students are prepared for the complex modern work environment and for lifelong learning. Learning Environment: To provide an environment that enables students to pursue their goals in an innovative program that is rigorous and challenging, open and supportive. Program Educational Objectives (PEO’s)

  13. Example PEO’s The department of Electrical and Computer Engineering will produce graduates who: will utilize mathematics, science and engineering to identify, formulate, analyze and solve electrical and computer engineering problems. By engineering, we mean the skills, tools, and experimental techniques involved in the practice of engineering. will design electrical and computer systems, components and processes to meet desired needs. This objective includes the ability to work effectively on interdisciplinary teams and to communicate effectively with team members to achieve design objectives. will engage in lifelong learning in their profession as well as in contemporary issues of importance to the communities in which they live and work. will exercise professional and ethical responsibility, and have the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context. Program Educational Objectives (PEO’s)

  14. PO’s satisfy the 11 ABET criteria PO’s must be measurable and specify an appropriate method for measurements Outcomes must specify a criterion for judging findings. satisfies professional component For academic programs, include both of the following:a. Curricular outcomesb. Learning outcomes at the course level Direct as well as indirect methods of measurement are to be used. Map PO’s into PEO’s Map PO’s into ABET “a – k” criteria Curriculum achieves PO’s Curriculum satisfies professional component Curriculum meets program specific criteria Program Outcomes (PO’s)
