Lessons learned from piloting an employer feedback process for gathering EC 2000 criteria a-k

Gathering employer feedback for EC 2000 review is required and will give engineering education departments needed information for improving their degree programs. SUCCEED thinks the process can be simplified so that neither faculty nor employers are overwhelmed with the volume of possible data and paperwork. SUCCEED has a team comprised of assessment experts and engineering faculty and administrators from the eight SUCCEED campuses who have been working on identifying, developing, and testing best practices in outcomes assessment for the purpose of curriculum innovation and renewal. This team of 15 people represents experienced assessment directors who have served as national officers of assessment professional organizations, ABET visitors, department chairs, professors, and an assistant dean.
