4. CDIO Asian Regional Meeting and Workshop on Engineering Education and Policies for Regional Leaders What is Program Evaluation? A system that evaluates programs against these twelve standards, and provides feedback to students, faculty, and other stakeholders for the purposes of continuous improvement Program evaluation is a judgment of the overall value of a program based on evidence of a program's progress toward attaining its goals.

5. CDIO Asian Regional Meeting and Workshop on Engineering Education and Policies for Regional Leaders Rationale • to determine the program's effectiveness and efficiency in reaching its intended goals. • continuous program improvement • evidences: course evaluations, instructor reflections, entry and exit interviews, reports of external reviewers, and follow-up studies with graduates & employers • E.g: in an exit interview, a majority of students reported that they were not able to meet some specific learning outcome, a plan could be initiated to identify root causes and implement changes.

6. CDIO Asian Regional Meeting and Workshop on Engineering Education and Policies for Regional Leaders Self-Assessment of Compliance • The assessment of compliance with the CDIO Standards is a self-report process. • An engineering program gathers its own evidence and uses the rubrics to rate its status with respect to each of the 12 CDIO Standards. • While the rubrics are customized to each CDIO Standard, they follow the pattern of this general rubric.

8. CDIO Asian Regional Meeting and Workshop on Engineering Education and Policies for Regional Leaders Rubric • Is a scoring guide that seeks to evaluate levels of performance. • Is a six-point rating scale for assessing levels of compliance with the standard. • Criteria for each level are based on the description and rationale of the standard. • Highlights the nature of the evidence that indicates compliance at each level. • The rubrics in this document are hierarchical, that is, each successive level includes those at lower levels. • E.g. Level 5 that addresses continuous process improvement presumes that Level 4 has been attained.

27. CDIO Asian Regional Meeting and Workshop on Engineering Education and Policies for Regional Leaders Some Advice for Adopters • Evaluate your program. What are your strengths and weaknesses with respect to the CDIO Standards? • Identify some early successes • Generate buy-in from faculty • Be ready to assess changes • Identify resources needed before you embark on large changes - especially for design-implement experiences
