• 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.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT IN IE
If we cannot measure, we cannot improve
A continuous improvement has the loop (PDCA)

• Please ensure to present the whole table as one information;
• Take the culturematters into high considerations
• Would be great to present the number distribution into pictures (graphs)
GENERAL
• Graduation Requirements (p. 17) should inform the total credits a student needs to take for graduation eligibility.
GENERAL
• This sentence imply a confusing meaning. It should say, to graduate a student must have a cumulative GPA ≥ 2.0
• Vision is something we would like to achieve within 20 years for examples
• Missions are what we provide to achieve the vision.
GENERAL
• The vision of EE Dept has to be aligned with the vision of MU
GENERAL
• Please show consistency in writing format
GENERAL
• PEO will be measured only through the alumni, 2‐5 years after they graduate, to ensure achievement of the PEO;
• The measurement results of the PEO later will be used to design the improvement; PDCA is the loop of a continuous improvement.
• Check Table 2‐3 PEO Process Review and Results:Graduating seniors are students that will graduate; They cannot be used as participant of PEO measurement.
• Graduating seniors can be use as participants for indirect measurement of the SO.
GENERAL
D. Process for Review of the PEO: p. 22
• The measurement has to be developed and the achievement standard has to be set. Then do the measurement to the alumnus.
• The EE dept has to review the results of the measurement.• After the review, what EE dept will do, if the result of PEO are achieved
or not achieved.

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.

Good example;
Good example;
• Please provide the reasonable judgment for every decision in the SSR;• The more the PEV understand what you are doing, the more ABET can
be beneficial for the program
Good example;
• Why the alumni survey is left blank?
• All SO have to have direct and indirect measurement
Direct Assessment is directly related to the students’ performance;• Exam answer• Lab report• Homework
Indirect Assessment is based on:• Perspectives or opinions such as faculty survey on
students performance• Exit survey
EXAMPLE FROM IE BINUS• Direct & indirect measurement for
assessing 11 SO
• If only 70% of students will perform at level 1 or 2, what about the rest? • Is there any minimum standard that 100% students have to achieve?• The target needs a reasonable elaboration
Lesson learned from IE BINUS
Using wrong terminology;
Should be: course work etc but not Course Grade;
Because course grade cannot be used for measurement of the SO;
It will fail a program to get accredited by ABET
Please add the target line, so the PEV will be easier to grab the meaning of this graph;
Continuous improvement has to show: • the loop (based on a measurement the improvement were made,
and how is the condition now, and what would be the next plan; etc. PDCA (plan‐do‐check‐action);
• The improvement made through the process that will ensure the improvement will continuously be done
The design for improvement should have an evidence (mini examinations), such as set in the Course Outline;
Individual Course ImprovementEach instructor is encourage to all the time monitor the performance of the subjects. Several illustrative examples are givenbelow.EGCE 203:One of the problems found on the EGCE203 Strength of Materials course is that students understand the fundamental principles but the problem‐solving skills are not sufficient to gain full competency required by the Strength of Materials course. Two mini‐examinations are implemented in the course since the second semester of 2013. The first mini‐examination is scheduled before the midterm examination and the second mini‐examination is before the final examination of each semester. The mini‐examination is designed to help students engage to the course and know of their level of competency throughout the course. From the Spring of 2016, in addition to homework assigned as a weekly basis, more exercise problems and examples on each topic are discussed in the class through the in‐class quiz problems and the in‐class problem‐solving examples (by the instructor). Students are allowed to choose the problems they want for the in‐class problem‐solving examples. Students show more engagement in the class and the overall level of competency has been
improved. 91.43 percent of 70 students perform in the 1 or 2 rank for the Spring 2016 semester.

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
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

THE ISSUES (2009): International Mindset
& Cutting‐edge knowledge
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
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
THE ABET PREPARATION:How to Comply
• Working as a team, instead of working together;
• THE TRUST;
• The right direction, the right people
• Strong spirits & leadership
• Reevaluate program’s vision and mission
• Redefine Program Educational Objectives & Student Outcomes
• Compliance with 32 credits of math, basic science & engineering
• Curriculum mapping
• Socialization on the importance of ABET accreditation, its impact on current operational systems, and addressing any job security concerns
• Simplifying complex & demanding requirement and inflexible “BINUS CODA” system

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
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
