Evaluating the program educational objectives of an engineering program at a small institution

Abstract
- This paper focuses on processes and methodologies for evaluating the Program
Educational Objectives (PEO) of an engineering program according to ABET2000
Engineering Accreditation criterion. The paper will review existing processes for
evaluating PEO’s at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department (ECE) of
Lafayette College. These processes will be compared with those at other institutions.
Lessons learned about evaluating the PEO’s at Lafayette’s ECE Department after four
years of implementation will be discussed. The goal is to stir up debate about what works
and does not work when attempting to evaluate the Educational Objectives of an
engineering program at a small institution. Issues such as quality of data, timing,
schedules of change, and ABET big-loop concerns will be discussed. Lafayette’s
Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program is a relatively small program with
about 20-25 graduates annually. This paper will discuss challenges faced by institutions
of Lafayette’s size in achieving a reliable evaluation of the ECE Program Educational
Objectives.
