Course Assessment Plan: A Tool For Integrated Curriculum Management
Robert Floersheim,Margaret B. Bailey,Stephen J. Ressler +2 more
- 24 Jun 2001
Abstract: As we enter the 21st Century in engineering education, a common desire exists to improve curriculum structure, integration and assessment. Much has been written and discussed concerning the process for assessing and/or revising a program curriculum. Studies are beginning to show the positive effects of well‐integrated curricula where assessment methods are applied consistently. There has also been much written to support individual course assessment and revision. What is missing in many instances is a credible link between program‐level curriculum management and course assessment. At the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point, an integrating tool within the academy's assessment model, called a Course Assessment Plan, has been developed and refined. The course assessment process and the resulting written documentation provide an essential link between a program curriculum and its constituent courses. The plan's process, content, and an example outcome are the major focus of this paper.
