Abstract

The paper addresses the outcome assessment process at the University of Denver, how it was received by the ABET visiting team and what changes were and are continually being made. The Engineering Department at the University of Denver was selected as one of 12 to be visited in autumn 1998 and evaluated under Criteria 2000. The department has undergraduate programs in computer, electrical, general and mechanical engineering. These BS degrees are also combined with a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) resulting in two degrees in 5 years. All 8 programs were evaluated under Criteria 2000 and all received accreditation
