C002B-2020-2021 Self-Study Questionnaire


INTRODUCTION
The Self-Study Report is expected to be a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the
strengths and limitations of the program being submitted for review.

The Self-Study Report will provide information critical to a thorough on-site review of
the program. Therefore, the Report will address the extent to which the program meets
applicable ABET Criteria and policies. In so doing, it is necessary that the Report
address all methods of instructional delivery used for the program, all possible paths that
students may take to completion of the degree, and all remote offerings available to
students in the program.

Each Commission of ABET provides a Self-Study Questionnaire to assist the program in


completing the Self-Study Report.

REQUIREMENTS AND PREPARATION


The program name used on the cover of the Self-Study Report must be identical to that
used in the institutional publications, on the ABET Request for Evaluation (RFE), and on
the transcripts of graduates. This will ensure that the program is correctly identified in
ABET records and that graduates can be correctly identified as graduating from an
accredited program.

Normally, each program requires a Self-Study Report.

While the Questionnaire focuses primarily on accreditation criteria, it also includes


questions related to certain sections of the ABET Accreditation Policy and Procedure
Manual (APPM).

While it is important that the overall structure in the Questionnaire be retained, it is not
necessary to preserve notes or pages of instructions about preparing the Self-Study
Report.

A program may use terminology different from that used in the Questionnaire. If
different terminology is used, it is important that the Self-Study Report provide notes of
explanation to clearly link the terminology in the Report to terminology used in the
Questionnaire.

Tables in the Questionnaire may be modified in format to more clearly present the
information for the program. When this is done, it is suggested that a brief explanatory
footnote be included about why the table was modified. Rows may be added to or
deleted from tables to better accommodate program information.

The educational unit is the administrative unit having academic responsibility for the
program(s) being reviewed by a given Commission of ABET. For example, if a single
program is being reviewed, the educational unit may be the department. If more than one
program is being reviewed, the educational unit is the administrative unit responsible for
the collective group of programs being reviewed by that Commission.

C002B-2021-2022 Self-Study Questionnaire
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS
The following materials are to be supplied in addition to the Self-Study Report:
 The general institution catalog covering course details and other institutional
information applicable at the time of the review.
 Promotional brochures or literature describing program offerings of the
institution.
 Official academic transcripts of recent graduates. The official academic
transcript contains a listing of all the courses taken by a graduate, year/semester
courses were taken, the grades earned, and degree(s) earned. The Team Chair
will request a specific sampling of transcripts for each program and will provide a
timeframe in which they should be provided to program evaluators. Each
academic transcript is to be accompanied by the program requirements for the
graduate and accompanied by worksheets that the program uses to show how the
graduate has fulfilled program requirements. Masters degree programs under
review must also provide copies of the students’ undergraduate academic
transcripts that were used to make an admission decision.

SUBMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION OF SELF-STUDY REPORT

NOTE: No email submission is permitted. No hard copy submission will be


accepted. No submission on a data stick is permitted. The submission cannot be a
combination of hard copy and electronic file.

The Self-Study Report and Supplemental Material should be uploaded section by section
or as a single upload option as pdf files on your institution’s page in the ABET
Administration Management System.

Catalogs that are available only electronically must be submitted in a pdf format. The
catalog must be the version available at the time the Self-Study Report is prepared. Web-
based versions may not be submitted.

 To ABET Headquarters via upload by July 1 of the calendar year of the review:

o Upload one Self-Study Report section by section or as a single


document upload option, including all appendices for each program
o Upload one set of the supplemental materials (without the academic
transcripts).

 Your Team Chair and Program Evaluators will be able to access the Self Study
through the ABET Accreditation Management System.

 You will need to reach out to your Team Chair to confirm where to send a set of
transcripts for each program.
If you have any questions, please send an email to accreditation@abet.org

CRITERION 4. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

This section of your Self-Study Report should document your processes for regularly assessing
and evaluating the extent to which the student outcomes are being attained. This section should
also document the extent to which the student outcomes are being attained. It should also
describe how the results of these processes are utilized to affect continuous improvement of the
program.

Assessment is defined as one or more processes that identify, collect, and prepare the data
necessary for evaluation. Evaluation is defined as one or more processes for interpreting the data
acquired though the assessment processes in order to determine how well the student outcomes
are being attained.

Although the program can report its processes as it chooses, the following is presented as a guide
to help you organize your Self-Study Report.

A. Student Outcomes
It is recommended that this section include (a table may be used to present this information):
1. A listing and description of the assessment processes used to gather the data upon which
the evaluation of each student outcome is based. Examples of data collection processes
may include, but are not limited to, specific exam questions, student portfolios, internally
developed assessment exams, senior project presentations, nationally-normed exams, oral
exams, focus groups, industrial advisory committee meetings, or other processes that are
relevant and appropriate to the program.
2. The frequency with which these assessment processes are carried out
3. The expected level of attainment for each of the student outcomes
4. Summaries of the results of the evaluation process and an analysis illustrating the extent
to which each of the student outcomes is being attained
5. How the results of the assessment process are documented and maintained
6. How and where the student outcome assessment process is documented

B. Continuous Improvement
Describe how the results of evaluation processes for the student outcomes and any other
available information have been systematically used as input in the continuous improvement
of the program. Describe the results of any changes (whether or not effective) in those cases
where re-assessment of the results has been completed. Indicate any significant future
program improvement plans based upon recent evaluations. Provide a brief rationale for
each of these planned changes.

C. Additional Information
Copies of any of the assessment instruments or materials referenced in 4.A. and 4.B must be
available for review at the time of the visit. Other information such as minutes from

12
