This paper presents a case study of implementing General Criterion 3 and Program Criterion 3 as specified by the ABET Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) for accrediting computing programs. Both criteria deal with student outcomes. A step-by-step approach using performance indicators and proposed data sources to assess the attainment of student outcomes using a software engineering capstone course is demonstrated. This paper also proposes how the student outcome 6 recently defined by CAC for the Information Technology program can be assessed. It also points out an issue with the outcome 6 statement. It is expected that the schools applying for ABET accreditation find this paper very helpful in simplifying their assessment activities for a successful implementation of criteria 3.

摘要

This paper presents a case study of implementing General Criterion 3 and Program Criterion 3 as specified by the ABET Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) for accrediting computing programs. Both criteria deal with student outcomes. A step-by-step approach using performance indicators and proposed data sources to assess the attainment of student outcomes using a software engineering capstone course is demonstrated. This paper also proposes how the student outcome 6 recently defined by CAC for the Information Technology program can be assessed. It also points out an issue with the outcome 6 statement. It is expected that the schools applying for ABET accreditation find this paper very helpful in simplifying their assessment activities for a successful implementation of criteria 3.
