[Cce-faculty-list] ABET information

Sun Nov 10 10:14:21 EST 2024

All:

Based on latest and final instructions, we have been asked to collect data in a more comprehensive manner for all courses with undergraduate student enrollment in the last six years.

For each course, please collect the following information electronically as pdf files: one example each from Sophisticated (S), Proficient (P), Competent (C) and Not Competent (NC) work by students for all exams, all projects, and at least 50% of homework assignments and quizzes so that assessments are spaced throughout the semester. These assessments would have been used to assess the student's performance in the class and contribute to their overall grade. For each assessment, identify one student learning outcome from the recent list of seven in the attachment that is the best match.

Use the following file naming convention for each assessment: CE XXXXX_Fall 2024_Y_Assessment name_R where XXXXX stands for course number, Y refers to the student outcome (e.g., SLO3) and R refers to the performance category. For example the fourth homework assignment of CE 44000, identified with student learning outcome 3, would have five files (the assignment itself followed by one sample of student work in each category) named: CE44000_Fall 2024_SLO3_Assignment-4, CE44000_Fall 2024_SLO3_Assignment-4_S, CE44000_Fall 2024_SLO3_Assignment-4_P, CE44000_Fall 2024_SLO3_Assignment-4_C, and CE44000_Fall 2024_SLO3_Assignment-4_NC. In case the assessment does not conform to any of the student learning outcomes, replace Y with NA for not applicable. Please make sure all student identification information is removed from samples of student work.

The URL to upload ABET-related content for the School is https://eng.purdue.edu/jump/3055b61. Please go to folder '200-400 Courses" or "500-600 Courses" depending on the level of your course  and upload the files for each assessment item as described above in the folder for your respective course. Thus a course with two exams, one project, and 5 assignments would have (2+1+5)*5 = 40 files to upload!

The deadline for uploading this information is Dec. 20, 2024.

Please reach out to Hubo, Jie or me if you have any questions
Best.

All:
As you identify at least two assignments to provide the requisite information for your course, please also share which student learning outcome (SLO) is most relevant to your chosen assignments. It is best to assign one item to one of the SLOs.
This will help us make sure that all SLOs are represented in the materials we gather for ABET.
The list of SLOs is provided below.
My apologies again for the multiple messages.
Thanks and best.

Subject: RE: ABET information

All:
Sorry for multiple emails on this topic. I want to add further clarification points:

  1.  If your class has no undergraduate students, and has not had any in the last six years, then you do not need to provide any information.
  2.  If there are no examples of student work that fall in a particular category, then  do not provide that particular file.
  3.  The examples of all student work must be anonymized. Any student identification needs to be erased or redacted from the submission.
Best.

Subject: ABET information

All:
As you know, this is the semester we are collecting detailed information in preparation for the ABET visit next year. The attached spreadsheet shows a list of undergraduate courses for which we need some information from the instructors listed there.
For each course in the list, the instructor is being asked to identify two or more assessment items (homework assignments, quizzes, projects, exams, etc.) that are used to assess the student's performance in the class and contribute to their overall grade. The items you select should be most reflective of ABET outcomes (please see second attachment) in your judgment. For each item selected, collect one example of student work that you would classify as Sophisticated (S), Proficient (P), Competent (C) and Not Competent (NC). Thus each item would have five pdf files that you would submit including the first file which is the item being used for assessment. Please use the following file naming convention for each of these files: Course number-assessment item-number-category.
For example, let us say I chose the fourth homework assignment and second exam for CE 44000 for assessing student performance in my course. I would have five files corresponding to assignment 4, namely (i) CE44000-Assignment-4, (ii) CE44000-Assignment-4-S,  (iii) CE44000-Assignment-4-P,  (iv) CE44000-Assignment-4-C,  and (v) CE44000-Assignment-4-NC. Similarly, I would have five files corresponding to the second exam, namely (i) CE44000-Exam-2, (ii) CE44000- Exam-2-S,  (iii) CE44000- Exam-2-P,  (iv) CE44000- Exam-2-C,  and (v) CE44000- Exam-2-NC.
We will follow up with instructions as to where you would upload all this information. Please reach out if you have questions.
Thanks and best.
