Expected Outcomes: These two workshops for HAUI’s program groups illuminate stakeholder involvement and continuous improvement processes—important to international accreditation organization like ABET. These two workshops provide a focus on program educational objectives (desired graduate progress/achievements in 2-4 years after graduation) and their review by stakeholders, documented review of program-level student outcomes (expected learning outcomes) to ensure inclusion of all required elements and initial steps in planning assessment of student attainment of student outcomes. Key outcome will be building accreditation team expertise in planning and implementing stakeholder input and the planning for assessment of student attainment of program-level student outcomes using course learning outcomes—fostering more effective and efficient accreditation preparations.
