Brian bhale Just started reading it for class. Seems like a good book so far. I like that they have an entire section about getting other people on board with assessment which can sometimes be difficult.
Felder, Hoechst Celanese Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering) . The work describes various assessment methods and provides examples of various assessment tools that have been utilized by a variety of programs. Recommended." (Choice)“What has been missing is a resource that takes effective assessment techniques developed by social scientists, education scholars, and statisticians, and recasts them in terms that are both clear and clearly relevant to engineering education. This is such a resource. "It serves as a practical guide and introduction to improving the assessment process, which is a necessary component of the ABET requirements related to student outcomes and assessment. Valuable for faculty and administrators who are concerned with satisfying the ABET accreditation requirements in engineering and technology programs. In my opinion, it succeeds admirably.” (Richard M
For most institutions, assessment of graduate education is new; therefore, there are readers who will be particularly interested in the chapters and examples related to graduate education. This book is written for engineering faculty and department chairs as a practical guide to improving the assessment processes for undergraduate and graduate engineering education in the service of improved student learning. The authors cover five basic themes:· Use of assessment to improve student learning and educational programs at both undergraduate and graduate levels· Understanding and applying ABET criteria to accomplish differing program and institutional missions· Illustration of e
