Hierarchical System of Outcomes Assessment at Parks College of Engineering and Aviation

“Outcomes Assessment is one of the keys for continuous quality improvement of academic programs. It is a vital catalyst for the pedagogical paradigm shift from Teaching to Learning. The regional and program accreditation agencies are placing greater emphasis on outcomes assessment than ever before. A typical system of program assessment should be consistent with the mission, objectives, and outcomes of the University as well as College. This paper describes the design, development and implementation of such a system at Parks College of Engineering and Aviation, Saint Louis University.”--from the conference pape
