• In identifying the program learning outcomes, the following is advised
to follow: • In knowledge domain – use the action verb
“demonstrate” instead of the memorizing verbs such as recall, define,
list, etc. Such verbs could be used at the course level for the courses
offered at the early levels of the curriculum plan. • In other domains,
instead of using “Illustrate, show, or incorporate7”, use action verbs
such as “perform”, “communicate”, diagnose”, … •
• • Within the curriculum, build in practice multiple learning trials for
students: introduce, practice, master. Students will perform best if
they are introduced to the learning outcome or concept early in the
curriculum and then given sufficient practice and reinforcement
before evaluation of their level of mastery takes place. This should be
reflected in the Mapping Matrix.
• It is important to focus on highly-valued outcomes by including them
in multiple courses. Focus on high-priority learning. What are the
most important things that students should be able to do after
completing your program? What outcomes are faculty passionate
about teaching their students? Therefore, psychomotor skills should
be revisited for all programs.
 In Mechanical Engineering Program, “4. Apply
principles of engineering practices related to CE
specializations.”!
• Learning outcomes for field experience need to be reviewed in
program specifications to make sure they are written properly. For
example in Mechanical Engineering Program, statements such as
“Enhance the individual skills….”, “Gain analytical…”, and in Nursing
Program “Introduce students to…” are learning objectives not
Program Learning Outcomes. It is recommended to use measurable
action verbs (consult bloom’s Taxonomy) in setting the program and
field experience learning outcomes for all programs.
Still needs improvement.
• All learning outcomes for all Engineering Programs are based on ABET
Criterion 3, which are general criterion related to any graduate from
an engineering college. It is recommended to review Curriculum
Criterion for each program, and devise 2-4 learning outcomes from it
to suit/reflect on the specific discipline undertaken, and then add
them to the Criterion 3.
