• GENERAL CRITERIA• PROGRAM CRITERIA• MEASUREMENT OF SO & PEO• CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

• The loop (PDCA)• The implementation of an 

improvement has to be through a systems

How Do I know if a program has an adequate continuous quality improvement process for student learning? Evidence of a CQI (Continuous Quality Improvement) process would contain the following:

1. A timeline of repeated activities related to the assessment and evaluation of students outcomes. Possible question: What is your data collection and evaluation timeline?

2. Agreed upon student outcomes and how they will be assessed. Identifying a few performance indicators per outcome is an effective way to develop measurable definitions. Possible question for the faculty: How does your program assess its student outcomes to ensure consistent assessment across the curriculum?

3. Systematic data collection focusing on direct evidence of student performance related to the student outcomes. Possible question: Where do you collect the data that is evidence of student learning?

4. Systematic data collection ensuring coverage of each student outcome for the given student cohort. Possible question: Describe how the data being presented were collected

5. Data collection and analyzing providing information that enables faculty to identify superior performance and opportunities for improvement related to the outcomes. Possible question: I see X% of your students have attained outcome Y; were there any notable positive or negative aspects of the students’ performance?

6. An evaluation process clearly communicating to program faculty opportunities for improvement in student learning. Possible question: Describe how the proposed actions improved student learning (or are anticipated to improve student learning) related to the enhancement opportunities identified.

Basic ScienceBasic sciences are disciplines focused on knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of natural phenomena. Basic sciences consist of chemistry and physics and other natural sciences including life, earth, 

and space sciences.

College‐Level MathematicsCollege‐level mathematics consists of mathematics that requires a degree of mathematical sophistication at least equivalent to that of introductory calculus. For illustrative purposes, some examples of college‐level mathematics include calculus, differential equations, probability, statistics, linear algebra, and discrete 

mathematics.

Complex Engineering ProblemsComplex engineering problems include one or more of the following characteristics: involving wide‐ranging or conflicting technical issues, having no obvious solution, addressing problems not encompassed by current standards and codes, involving diverse groups of stakeholders, including many component parts or sub‐

problems, involving multiple disciplines, or having significant consequences in a range of contexts.

Engineering DesignEngineering design is a process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs and specifications within constraints. It is an iterative, creative, decision‐making process in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources into solutions. Engineering design involves identifying opportunities, developing requirements, performing analysis and synthesis, generating multiple solutions, evaluating solutions against requirements, considering risks, and making trade‐ offs, for the purpose of obtaining a high‐quality solution under the given circumstances. For illustrative purposes only, examples of possible constraints include accessibility, aesthetics, codes, constructability, cost, ergonomics, extensibility, functionality, interoperability, legal considerations, maintainability, manufacturability, marketability, 

policy, regulations, schedule, standards, sustainability, or usability.

Engineering ScienceEngineering sciences are based on mathematics and basic sciences but carry knowledge further toward creative application needed to solve engineering problems. These studies provide a bridge between mathematics and 

basic sciences on the one hand and engineering practice on the other.

TeamA team consists of more than one person working toward a common goal and should include individuals of diverse backgrounds, skills, or perspectives.

Engineering DesignEngineering design is a process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs and specifications within constraints. It is an iterative, creative, decision‐making process in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources into solutions. Engineering design involves identifying opportunities, developing requirements, performing analysis and synthesis, generating multiple solutions, evaluating solutions against requirements, considering risks, and making trade‐ offs, for the purpose of obtaining a high‐quality solution under the given circumstances. For illustrative purposes only, examples of possible constraints include accessibility, aesthetics, codes, constructability, cost, ergonomics, extensibility, functionality, interoperability, legal considerations, maintainability, manufacturability, marketability, 

policy, regulations, schedule, standards, sustainability, or usability.

Engineering ScienceEngineering sciences are based on mathematics and basic sciences but carry knowledge further toward creative application needed to solve engineering problems. These studies provide a bridge between mathematics and 

basic sciences on the one hand and engineering practice on the other.

TeamA team consists of more than one person working toward a common goal and should include individuals of diverse backgrounds, skills, or perspectives.

General Criteria of curriculum

Basic ScienceBasic sciences are disciplines focused on knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of natural phenomena. Basic sciences consist of chemistry and physics and other natural sciences including life, earth, 

and space sciences.

College‐Level MathematicsCollege‐level mathematics consists of mathematics that requires a degree of mathematical sophistication at least equivalent to that of introductory calculus. For illustrative purposes, some examples of college‐level mathematics include calculus, differential equations, probability, statistics, linear algebra, and discrete 

mathematics.

• Sufficient coverage of all areas in the program

• Balanced and focused faculty workload

• An example from IE Binus, our total faculty for about 450 student bodies

THE ISSUES (2009)

1. Gaining accreditation by ABET is not merely having a strong curriculum, but also requires an international mindset;

2. Cutting‐edge knowledge;3. Inclusion of industry expectations;

4. And continuous improvement;5. The latter is issue rarely in a typical 

Indonesian mindset.

Departments’ Condition in 2009

Page 63: Good Thank You to MAHIDOL UNIVERSITY - do.eg.mahidol.ac.th. เอกสารประกอบ... · outcomes. Possible question: Where do you collect the data that is evidence

THE ISSUES (2009): International Mindset 

& Cutting‐edge knowledge

FACULTY Cultural gap: gender & seniority

• Over 80% were local graduates; mostly males & seniors;

• Mostly were part time faculty (about 70%)

• The drive of changes increased the risk of turnover

THE ISSUES (2009): International Mindset 

& Cutting‐edge knowledge

STUDENTS• Intakes continuously dropped since 2000 and 

had reached the nadir of the declining intake in 2008;

CURRICULUM• Lagging from the current trend• Minimum program facility

BINUS CODA Systems: Centralized Operations & Decentralized Academic;

Advantage: cost efficientDisadvantage: “One for all”

Therefore we have to initiate creatively, what would be the unique program that suitable for our students: 

Student Chapters (IISE, ICE, EEE)

LABORATORY & GENERAL CAMPUS FACILITIES:

• Emergency exits and evacuation procedure

• Campus information and directions

• Instruction manual

• Upgrading procedures and logbooks

THE ISSUES (2009): Inclusion of Industrial Expectation 

including Safety Awareness

Page 65: Good Thank You to MAHIDOL UNIVERSITY - do.eg.mahidol.ac.th. เอกสารประกอบ... · outcomes. Possible question: Where do you collect the data that is evidence

THE ISSUES (2009): Continuous Improvement

ASSESSMENT: we did not have SO & PEO, including their measurements

• We have “lecturing activity assessment tools,” evaluating on the overall faculty performance

THE ISSUES (2009): Continuous Improvement

INNOVATION:

• University level initiates a lot of innovations;

• Nevertheless, no evaluation after implementation;

• So they cannot be considered as improvements; 

If we cannot measure, we cannot improve

OUR MESSAGE

1. ABET accreditation is a long process. DEAN’S ROLE is to motivate and maintain the spirit; Do the fine tune at the right time;

2. Make your own Self Study Report

3. Expand the students’ capability with industry engagement (e.g. ICE Binus Chapter)

1. Make a reasonable argument based on data

2. Team work & make a good plan: effective step by step

THE TIPS

Page 77: Good Thank You to MAHIDOL UNIVERSITY - do.eg.mahidol.ac.th. เอกสารประกอบ... · outcomes. Possible question: Where do you collect the data that is evidence

6. Learn from the first source by attending related ABET workshops to get the soul of the ABET’s point of view and the flavor of the accreditation process

7. Once the Team Chair is assigned, Dean’s role is to intensely communicate with the Team Chair

8. When English is not your native language, use translator from your own area of expertise (e.g. alumni, student, faculty)

9. Understand the cultural difference– Privacy– Service excellence– Thorough explanation– Token of appreciation– Compliance with ABET regulation

THE TIPS

THANK YOU & WISH YOU A SUCCESSFUL ABET ACCREDITATION PROCESS
