Abstract
Outcome and objective assessment is a method for determining whether students and graduates have learned, have retained, and can apply what they have been taught. Assessment plans have to include a statement of educational objectives, measurements of attainment of the objectives, and use of the assessment results for continuous improvement. In this paper, the experience of the Electrical Engineering program at Al-Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University is used as an example of how an indirect assessment method is established and implemented. Many surveys have been used and contributed to the numerical analysis for the indirect assessment of the program outcomes and achievements. The indirect assessment results indicate that the target levels are achieved for all the seven program outcomes and the three objectives that have been considered.
Highlights
The last few years have witnessed a growing recognition of the need for assessment and evaluation of the learning outcome [1,2]
This paper describes an indirect method used to assess and evaluate the achievement of program outcomes and objectives
Student Outcomes (SOs) or program outcomes describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation while Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) describe what graduates are expected to know and be able to do after graduation
Summary
The last few years have witnessed a growing recognition of the need for assessment and evaluation of the learning outcome [1,2]. The Electrical Engineering (EE) Department at Al Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSIU) has been implementing different assessment and evaluation approaches [3,4,5] for learning outcomes and Program Educational Objectives (PEOs), the concept of which is adopted to meet the international and national accreditation requirements. The EE department keeps in contact with current and prospective employers of its graduates Such constituents are strongly encouraged to join the industrial affiliates program which provides valuable feedback to the department faculty members for student preparation. Alumni and employer surveys provide important feedback regarding employment opportunities for students, and the opportunity to assess and evaluate the program educational objectives.
