ABET and Quality Assurance

Academic quality assurance, ABET accreditation support, Student Outcomes assessment, continuous improvement, and digital quality systems.

Quality Assurance Profile

My academic quality assurance work focuses on supporting engineering programs through outcome-based education, ABET accreditation preparation, Student Outcomes assessment, course file review, academic reporting, and continuous improvement processes.

I am involved in developing and applying systematic approaches for collecting evidence, measuring student achievement, analyzing assessment results, identifying improvement areas, and documenting actions that support program quality and accreditation readiness.

ABET Accreditation

Preparation of accreditation documents, evidence, reports, and program improvement materials.

Student Outcomes

Assessment of ABET Student Outcomes using direct and indirect assessment methods.

Continuous Improvement

Analysis of results, identification of gaps, action plans, follow-up, and documentation.

QAMS

Digital quality academic management system for assessment, reports, and evidence tracking.

Main Quality Activities

  • Preparing and reviewing ABET Self-Study Report sections.
  • Supporting Student Outcomes assessment for engineering programs.
  • Reviewing course files, syllabi, assessment methods, and evidence.
  • Aligning Course Learning Outcomes with Student Outcomes and program requirements.
  • Analyzing direct and indirect assessment results.
  • Preparing course-level and program-level continuous improvement actions.
  • Supporting faculty members through workshops, templates, and assessment guidance.
  • Developing digital tools to improve documentation and accreditation readiness.

ABET Assessment Cycle

1
Define Outcomes

Identify Student Outcomes, Course Learning Outcomes, performance indicators, and assessment methods.

2
Collect Evidence

Collect exams, projects, assignments, rubrics, surveys, reports, and course file materials.

3
Measure Achievement

Evaluate student performance using direct assessment, indirect assessment, benchmarks, and rubrics.

4
Analyze Results

Identify strengths, weaknesses, achievement levels, reasons for low performance, and improvement needs.

5
Close the Loop

Develop actions, implement improvements, follow up results, and document evidence for future review.

Quality Academic Management System

The Quality Academic Management System is designed to support engineering programs in managing academic quality and accreditation processes. It helps faculty and coordinators organize course files, conduct Student Outcomes assessment, prepare reports, monitor progress, and document continuous improvement actions.

Visit QAMS Platform

QAMS is a digital platform for academic quality assurance, accreditation support, Student Outcomes assessment, course file management, reporting, and continuous improvement documentation.

Open QAMS
Course File Upload

Organizes required course file items and supports evidence collection.

Direct Assessment

Supports grade entry, rubric classification, attainment calculation, and charts.

Indirect Assessment

Supports surveys, stakeholder feedback, and indirect evaluation reports.

Reports

Generates course reports, final reports, and summary evidence for review.

Dashboards

Provides monitoring tools for coordinators and academic quality teams.

Continuous Improvement

Documents actions, follow-up, implementation status, and improvement evidence.

ABET Student Outcomes

Outcome General Focus Typical Evidence
