Abstract
nThis paper introduces a new method aimed at improving the direct assessment technique used for assessing students in the context of ABET accreditation. The traditional direct assessment method has long been utilized for ABET accreditation, involving steps such as goal identification, assessment planning, selection of assessment instruments, data collection and analysis, interpretation and evaluation, and feedback and improvement. While this approach has served as a valuable tool for evaluating student learning outcomes, it faces challenges related to complexity, resource-intensive requirements, and potential gaps in assessment coverage. Our proposed approach seeks to overcome the shortcomings of current assessment methods by proposing a streamlined, thorough, accurate, and insightful framework. By utilizing advancements in educational technology and teaching methods, this paper seeks to enhance ABET accreditation procedures, promoting ongoing enhancements in engineering education.
