Program Outcomes Assessment Using Key Performance Indicators

Deferent types of assessment are used to measure the achievements of the Student Learning Outcomes (SOs) and the Course LearningOutcomes (COs) like direct, indirect, quantitative and qualitative. It is powerful to have a good approach to report the data and automated system for evaluatingthe performance indicators used in the outcomesmeasurement.Since the Student Outcomes are unmeasurable, group of measurable Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are extracted from each SO.In this paper, we propose a new comprehensive combinational approach which utilizes the assessment of the COs and SOs.The combination approach includes Threshold, Average, and Performance Vector used to assess the achievement of the course outcomes. And the KPIs used to measure the achievement of the SO. KeywordsABET; Assessment tool;Student Outcomes; Course Learning Outcomes; Key Performance Indicators.
