Assessment/Accreditation
Educational Objectives:
1. We will develop complete engineers who can: solve problems,
experiment, innovate, be resourceful, and champion ideas through effective communication.
2. We will engender an understanding of the broad reach of a modern
Chemical Engineering education and the array of knowledge required to implement solutions which will benefit our society.
3. We will provide a conduit to successful careers in the spectrum of fields
which benefit from a command of the principles of Chemical Engineering.
4. We will foster a life long love of learning, opening doors to graduate study and enabling graduates to adapt to changes and opportunities in the profession.
• Environmental Eng.• 1. To develop graduates that function
successfully in areas of environmental engineering, such as air pollution, water and wastewater treatment, and solid and hazardous waste engineering.
• 2.To prepare graduates for advanced education in environmental engineering and related fields, and for professional licensure.
Recommended Actions: Assessment for 2010
1. Articulate long term assessment plan for Spring meeting (Owner: Faculty)
met – meeting May 2010
2. Prepare self-study for ABET (Owner: Faculty)met – self-study completed June 2010
3. Increase unit-ops labs by 1 (Owner: Riley/Price)met – humidification added Fall 2010
4. Complete feasibility study to include safety in outcomes or objectives (Owner: Faculty) ABET will require process hazards very soon
Recommended Actions: Assessment for 2011
1. Revise alumni surveys (ABET weakness) (Owner: Chair)
2. Revise IAB meeting minutes procedure (Owner: Leclerc/Hooper/Board/Faculty)
3. Revise Educational Objectives (ABET weakness) (Owner: All)
4. Set benchmarks for assessment tools (Owner: All)

Recommended Actions: Department for 2009
1. Carry Over: Develop a 5 year (long term) plan Owner: Faculty NOT MET – tabled for a later time
2. Start-up annual fund raising effort for department endowment Owner: Faculty/IAB Alumni have been e-mailed as needs arise
3. Offer technical electives/graduate courses Owner: Faculty Riley – Fuel Cell Tech Fall 2009, Leclerc – Cat. Characteriz. Fall 2009, Tartis – Biomedical Eng. Spring 2010
4. Connect AIChE with three facilities to tour Owner: Faculty/IAB CEHMS – algae grower, ??, ??
5. Reach out to alumni and new companies in New Mexico to become involved in the development and direction of the program. Owner: Board Invited Jason Harper to join IAB
Recommended Actions: Educational Objectives for 20091. Overhaul/organize long term assessment plan (Owner: Faculty)
IN PROGRESS
2. Evaluate senior design presentation with quantitative results (Owner: Faculty and IAB) – DONE (must evaluate the evaluation tool)
3. Re-evaluate use and value of FE Exam results (Owner: Faculty) DONE – plan to use 2 year moving averages and
monitor slope of curve, reconnected with S. Alabama to obtain their data
4. Set-up annual review of alumni and graduates (Owner: Faculty) DONE – surveys out to 0,1,3 year grads
5. Review curriculum, i.e. evaluate pre-requisites, tech electives, coverage of
learning outcomes (Owner: Faculty) IN PROGRESS – added tech electives, ES pre-reqs under review, learning outcomes identified for each course, must evaluate CHE pre-reqs
