A comprehensive assessment process for EC2000 Criterion 3 (a)-(k) program outcomes of the mechanical engineering program at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) is presented. This assessment process is a part of an assessment plan that was developed by the author with some feedback from the faculty to assess the mechanical engineering educational objectives and program outcomes using internal and external measures. This process involves feedback from several parties that include: courses’ instructors (faculty), students, and graduating seniors, local industries that sponsor capstone senior design projects, and Fundamental of Engineering (FE) examination.

Key Terms

Evaluation is a transdiscipline with a focus upon answering important questions about if programs, policies, and interventions are good, if they are leading to desirable outcomes while avoiding undesirable outcomes, and how they can be improved.  A unified taxonomy of evaluation-specific program outcomes has not yet been proposed and validated, though such a tool would be helpful for both scholars and practitioners.  Building from a grounded analysis of 75 programs and over 850 program outcomes, we present a taxonomy of nine (9) outcomes specific to evaluating programs and interventions: attitude, affect, behavior, cognition, status, relationship, biological, environmental, and economic.  We define key terms and directionality, flexible timeframes for measurement, and suggest specific fields that provide a helpful lens for understanding programs and improving evaluation practice.

The University

This paper shares the experiences of conducting an industry focus group forum to assess the undergraduate engineering program at the University of Manitoba. In the first meeting, the objective of the industry focus group was to identify gaps between expected and (perceived) actual abilities of new graduates at the time they enter the work force, and to construct learning outcome statements, with the intention that they be used to guide developers to redesign the curriculum and program so that the graduates would meet local industry expectations in terms of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. There were 21 gap areas identified, and significant correlation of the gaps was found with other industry surveys; however, there were some notable differences.
