Evaluating student outcomes in Chemical and Biological Engineering to ensure impactful program redesign

This project will produce a robust and thorough method of evaluating student achievement of program learning outcomes for the two programs in the department, Chemical Engineering (CHML) and Chemical and Biological Engineering (CHBE). The programs have been continually updated over the years to ensure the curriculum prepares students for future careers. Currently a more comprehensive program renewal project, undertaken by the department, is underway to prepare our graduates for new opportunities in emerging industries. A system is currently in place to measure program learning outcomes that students demonstrate in each year of our programs; student progress is tracked through indicators tied to all core program courses. This system, established to meet Engineers Canada guidelines, will be redesigned to allow for more efficient collection of reliable data and more thorough analysis of that data. The new system will lead to better understanding of how curriculum changes impact the competencies of CHBE/CHML students. It will provide the metrics needed to continually assess and enrich the programs and better assurance that program learning outcomes are met.
