摘要：Since 2010, the departments of Civil Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering have partnered in the development of a program assessment protocol aimed at determining how well graduating students achieve independently created Program Learning Goals (PLGs). More recently, the departments are working together to prepare for CEAB Accreditation visits in 2014. This has been a fruitful partnership in part because of the very different undergraduate engineering programs offered by the two departments.This paper reports the curriculum management approach that has emerged from the collaboration between the twoengineering departments, data that has been collected to test hypothesized assessment protocols, and results from a pilot data collection process developed for CEAB outcomes and continual improvement purposes. The paper highlights the management approach, which is based on the conceptualization of the engineering programs as socio-curricular systems, the development of PLG indices, and results from the pilot CEAB outcomes reporting that involves the collection of triangulated data, i.e. the collection of data from the faculty perspective, the student perspective, and the perspective of the Professional Engineering community.
