Abstract

Engineering is an exciting field, offering exceptional career opportunities. Still, the success of an engineering graduate depends upon their knowledge, skills, and attitude. Accreditation agencies worldwide described these attributes as desirable competencies referred to as program outcomes (POs) by NBA, India. These POs are imparted during graduation and effectively implemented in the profession. Thus, continuous monitoring of each PO for an individual undergraduate during graduation becomes vital to initiate corrective action (if needed). This study proposes automation in the assessment process for POs. It has identified new assessment events and developed additional online assessment tools, feedback systems involving all stakeholders. To demonstrate the effect/impact of all these parameters, separate mathematical formulae are evolved to assess each PO. The authors claim that the developed system provides a more realistic attainment number due to comprehensive assessment and all-inclusive feedback instead of relying on sample data as in the conventional assessment process. It also helps in institutional accreditation.

技术支持的评估和理想能力的实现

工程是一个令人兴奋的领域，提供卓越的职业机会。然而，工程学毕业生的成功取决于他们的知识、技能和态度。世界各地的认证机构将这些属性描述为理想的能力，被NBA，印度称为项目成果(POs)。这些POs都是在毕业时传授的，并在专业中得到有效落实。因此，在毕业期间对单个本科生的每个PO进行持续监控对于启动纠正措施(如果需要)至关重要。本研究建议在POs的评估过程中实现自动化。它已经确定了新的评估事件，并开发了额外的在线评估工具，涉及所有利益相关者的反馈系统。为了证明所有这些参数的效果/影响，形成了单独的数学公式来评估每个PO。作者认为，与传统的评估过程中依赖于样本数据相比，开发的系统通过全面的评估和全方位的反馈提供了更现实的成绩数字。它还有助于机构认证。

期刊介绍： Education for Chemical Engineers was launched in 2006 with a remit to publisheducation research papers, resource reviews and teaching and learning notes. ECE is targeted at chemical engineering academics and educators, discussing the ongoingchanges and development in chemical engineering education. This international title publishes papers from around the world, creating a global network of chemical engineering academics. Papers demonstrating how educational research results can be applied to chemical engineering education are particularly welcome, as are the accounts of research work that brings new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating direction for future research relevant to chemical engineering education.
