“…This has led to the consolidation of courses as, for instance, in transport phenomena (typically now only one course in fluid mechanics and one in heat and mass transfer), and in thermodynamics (first and second law and phase and chemical equilibria in one single course!). Process control is no longer required at several universities, whereas the teaching of process design has been largely outsourced to adjunct faculty (typically, retired engineers from industry). Some of these changes have been the result of a trend to reduce the number of courses (promoted by deans) and to make space for new courses (eg, biology, biomolecular engineering).…”

“…Engineering programs worldwide have been applying the ABET criteria in order to improve the quality of their programs. Examples include the chemical engineering program at Columbia University (Hilla, 2014), biomedical engineering program at Johns Hopkins University (Allen, 2013), petroleum engineering program at the United Arab Emirates University at Al-Ain (Abu-Jdayil, 2010), mechanical engineering program at Kuwait University (Christoforou, 2008), electrical engineering program at American University of Sharjah (Al-Nashash, 2009) and at Texas A&M University-Texarkana (Morsy et al, 2020), industrial engineering program at Kuwait University, and computer engineering program at Umm Al Qura University (Rashid, 2021), to name a few.…”

The quality of engineering education has been improved by the accreditation criteria established by credentialing agencies. As a result, the Industrial and Management Systems Engineering program at Kuwait University has been maintaining accreditation by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology for over 15 years. Since the assessment process needs to be thorough and simple at the same time, this paper explains how the Industrial and Management Systems Engineering program at Kuwait University designed and implemented an efficient and effective process for the establishment and assessment of the new Student Outcomes required by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. All the seven new Student Outcomes specified by Criterion 3 of the accreditation requirements are shown to be satisfied by using four different assessment tools, two of which are direct and the other two are indirect. All the results have been statistically verified by using hypothesis testing with a significance level of 0.01. The paper presents a simple and practical assessment method which can be used by other engineering programs that are in the process of implementing the new Student Outcomes.
