Assessment and Evaluation process

19

Medical Equipment Department November 2015

Direct Assessments process Using some combinations of course work such as quizzes, exams, projects, presentations, homework, etc.

The achievements on these exercises are directly tied to program outcomes.

The assessment is carried out every time a course is given.

Indirect Assessments process Carried through Student Survey, Exit surveys,

Faculty reports and feedback from the Industrial Advisory Committee.

All surveys are carried out electronically

Quality Assurance

Medical Equipment Department November 2015

1. Common understanding of the implications of each Student Outcome.

2. Identify major competencies required for achieving the SOs. (knowledge, skills, attitudes)

3. Identify KPIs (i.e., rubrics or attributes, types of competences) that best represent the requirement of each of the SOs.

4. Each course syllabus, especially the content of it, was then used to guide the identification of the two to three major SOs that the course can cover.

5. Step 4 above was repeated for all required courses of the program and collected in a matrix-format mapping between the courses and the SOs.

21

Quality Assurance

Medical Equipment Department November 2015

6. Assessments were conducted for the first yearly cycle for all core courses.

7. Results and supporting student works is available in each course portfolio and in the department website.

8. This initial choice of assessing all courses helped all faculty members to get involved and learn the process.

9. For the future we foresee that our complete assessment, analysis and resulting recommendation for attaining the target of the individual SOs will be fully conducted on fewer numbers of courses, “Key Courses” covering some formative and summative ones.

22
