Work in progress - preparing for TC2K on a large scale

Preparation for compliance with TC2K for ABET accreditation is being carried out at twelve campuses which offer one or more of nine different engineering technology programs. A system-wide continuous quality improvement plan is in place. It includes the courses restructuring to reflect meeting the TC2K criteria, providing feedback for faculty members, and for assessing the way in which the educational objectives, program outcomes, and learning outcomes are being met. In order to facilitate the effectiveness of learning outcomes several short surveys were developed for some programs while others are in the process of development These targeted student performance, faculty perception, and student perception regarding learning outcomes in each specific program and course. Complementary to these were exit surveys, alumni and employee surveys that strive to provide information about programs. Currently, data collection is in progress using these surveys in order to judge their effectiveness with plans to offer them online and automated to a database.
