The objective of this paper is to describe the process to follow by a program seeking ABET accreditation for the redesign of its curriculum. The first step in this process is to clearly identify the reasons behind the need for redesigning the curriculum. These reasons should be originated from three levels of analysis. The high level deals with the review of the Program Educational Objectives. The medium level concerns the assessment and Evaluation of the Student Outcomes. The low level interests the Assessment and Evaluation of the course learning outcomes. The second step is to define all the requirements and constraints that will be used as inputs to the development of concentrations, area of study and courses. The case study presented and discussed in this paper to illustrate the curriculum redesign process is drawn from the Industrial Engineering Department at the Northern Border University (Saudi Arabia).

Social Media Strategy

Social Media platforms are increasingly receiving attention from scholars, as they are presumed to be both useful tools for undertaking professional assignments and a medium for engaging with large audiences and communities, within and outside academia. Additionally, these novel practices online need proper assessment and evaluation procedures. This paper aims to address the possibilities and challenges for niche research and development (R&D) projects in communicating their research via social media. The authors applied a seven-step social media strategy to an ongoing energy efficiency case study and discuss an online tool for monitoring the respective impact on social media.

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredits college and university programs in engineering under the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC). The process follows Engineering Criteria (EC) 2000, which focuses on outcomes (what is learned) rather than what is taught. This paper presents an overview of the processes developed by the civil engineering (CE) program at Sultan Qaboos University to satisfy ABET Criteria 2, 3, and 4. The program had a successful accreditation visit in November 2013. Program educational objectives (PEOs) were developed. A review and revision process for PEOs was also developed. ABET student outcomes (SOs) were adopted by the CE program. SOs were broken to outcome elements. Key performance indicators were developed for each outcome element, according to the six levels of Bloom’s taxonomy for cognitive domain. The process used direct indicators from student work as well indirect survey instruments. The program has developed a detailed and systematic approach for assessment of SOs with feedback and follow-up on implementation of actions for continuous improvement. Planning for the next accreditation cycle of SO assessment proved valuable, as the new accreditation committee started executing an already laid out work plan.

Public Notification

One of the practical means for waterworks to compete with each other for efficient operation is implementing an evaluation program. The evaluation program, coinciding with public notification, was prepared and implemented as a trial in Korea in 2003. However, several unexpected issues arose during the implementation. The evaluation scheme has been revised and described in this paper. The water quality might better be used as a qualification barrier for the further evaluation process. It may also be reasonable to consider that the evaluation team might visit on a very exceptional day for the plant, therefore it might be better to let the evaluation team have enough time to assess plants more extensively. The collateral case study reports should be used as a manual to maintain consistency between the evaluation teams. Although the case study took place in Korea, the revised principles from this experience may be beneficial to other countries.

Study Case

This study aims to explain the financial management practices of the mosque. Specifically, the focus of this study is to explore and investigate how financial management practices in the mosque. A case study of one Malaysian mosque is undertaken. To achieve the objective of this study, the researcher used vari­ous techniques of data collection, including interviews, observations, and reviews of the documents. The findings reveal that the SHAS mosque has four mechanisms to manage financial management practices. The tools are performance assessment and evaluation, participation, regulation, and social auditing. This study concludes that financial management practices are a necessary process to support the accounta­bility of the mosque. Especially, secondary accountability relates to the responsibility of mosque managers toward capital providers of the mosque. The results of this study give some implications for the improvement of financial management practices, particularly in the mosque.

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Criteria for Computing Accreditation Commission Programs are based upon knowledge, presentation  skills,  communication  skills,  team  work and leadership skills that the  students  gain  through the curriculum in a program. The student outcomes (SOs) are the procured skills  and  knowledge  which the student accomplishes through the curriculum. Each program needs to have  its own SOs and  to evaluate it as per defined assessment cycle, just as to accomplish program educational objectives (PEOs). The continuous improvement plan depended on assessment and evaluation of the program SOs and PEOs. In this paper, an advancement cycle for continuous improvement, for Information systems (IS) program at College of Computer and Information Sciences (CIS), Jouf University, Sakaka, Aljouf, Saudi Arabia, to accomplish the accreditation is discussed. The proposed cycle is appropriate to get the accreditation for bachelor program in information systems discipline and to fulfill the ABET criteria. In result, we will show how the SOs and PEOs were surveyed and assessed through curriculum accordingly. Based on these processes, ABET team has visited CIS college, which had accomplished extraordinary achievement and all of the programs have completely accredited on August 2018 and the next visit to the computing and engineering programs will be on 2026.
