Abstract
The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Criteria for Computing Accreditation Commission Programs are based upon knowledge, presentation skills, communication skills, team work and leadership skills that the students gain through the curriculum in a program. The student outcomes (SOs) are the procured skills and knowledge which the student accomplishes through the curriculum. Each program needs to have its own SOs and to evaluate it as per defined assessment cycle, just as to accomplish program educational objectives (PEOs). The continuous improvement plan depended on assessment and evaluation of the program SOs and PEOs. In this paper, an advancement cycle for continuous improvement, for Information systems (IS) program at College of Computer and Information Sciences (CIS), Jouf University, Sakaka, Aljouf, Saudi Arabia, to accomplish the accreditation is discussed. The proposed cycle is appropriate to get the accreditation for bachelor program in information systems discipline and to fulfill the ABET criteria. In result, we will show how the SOs and PEOs were surveyed and assessed through curriculum accordingly. Based on these processes, ABET team has visited CIS college, which had accomplished extraordinary achievement and all of the programs have completely accredited on August 2018 and the next visit to the computing and engineering programs will be on 2026.
Highlights
The ABET Accreditation process is performed by four accreditation commissions
ABET Criteria tends to the effectiveness of computing education programs by zeroing in on an assessment and evaluation [4], [8], [10], [11], [12], [13] measure that guarantees the accomplishment of a bunch of educational objectives and outcomes
ABET Criteria for Computing depends upon the knowledge, presentation skills, communication skills, team work and leadership skills that the students evolve through the curriculum in a program
Summary
The ABET Accreditation process is performed by four accreditation commissions. Each commission sets accreditation norms for explicit program areas and degree levels [2]. With an end goal to improve and keep up the quality of computing and engineering education offered by the CIS’s programs, the College CIS started external assessments conducted by the ABET. This cycle was arranged at first to ensure that what the programs offer, are identical to their peer programs around the world, to fulfill the alumni and society needs. The improvement cycle should present the available documentation processes normally utilized in making decisions with respect to program improvement The implementations of these methodologies were made by re-examining the curriculum, teaching methods, lab facilities [3]. We will show how the SOs and PEOs assessed and evaluated through curriculum
