Every ABET-accredited program must satisfy Criterion 4, which requires that programs carry out regular, documented procedures for assessing and promoting student attainment in its designated ABET Student Outcomes (SOs). These procedures are collectively denoted "Continuous Improvement" (CI).
This paper describes a practical CI regimen which utilizes faculty SO oversight committees, one for each ABET-designated SO. Each three-to-four member SO committee has broad oversight responsibility for student attainment in its respective SO, including assessments, evaluations, and curricular recommendations. This CI regimen has both engaged the faculty and enhanced our Program's alignment with its designated ABET Student Outcomes.
