Focus Areas

ACCREDITATION

This focus area will cover an array of topics focusing on ABET accreditation, from recent criteria changes to preparing for your site visit. Sessions will apply to a range of experience levels, from the novice learning about ABET processes for the first time to veterans of accreditation looking to fine-tune their approach. Presenters will share their experiences incorporating best practices into their programs and share valuable insights learned from years of experience.

ASSESSMENT

Program assessment can seem like a daunting task, but our leaders will put you on the path to success. Sessions in the assessment track will cover several of the more complex areas, such as student outcomes and continuous improvement, as well as methods to create an effective and sustainable assessment process. Learn how to make assessment work for you, maximizing your students’ educational journey.

DATA IMPACT

Data science allows industries to turn information into actionable insights. It can resolve issues within individual sectors and the economy at large — but used incorrectly, it can also create problems. As the past year has demonstrated through the impacts of COVID-19, climate change and demands for social change, the ability to gather, process and interpret data is essential to solving the world’s challenges, and it has the potential to profoundly improve the quality of life for all of us.
