TL;DR
This paper details the process used by MET Computer Science to define programs, goals, and student learning outcomes, and presents initial assessment results from two programs undergoing accreditation.
Contribution
It introduces a systematic approach for defining and assessing student learning outcomes in computer science programs, including practical assessment data.
Findings
Assessment data showed measurable student learning improvements.
The process facilitated accreditation readiness.
Initial assessment results inform program improvements.
Abstract
In this paper we describe the process used by MET Computer Science to identify programs, goals, and student learning outcomes for all our programs and graduate certificates. We illustrate how we started the process of assessing learning outcomes for our programs and present actual assessment results from the data collected for two programs that went through accreditation--it describes sample direct and indirect assessment data from two of our programs.
