What do ABET reviewers say about academic programs using CLOSO?

ABET reviewers have given the following appreciative feedback to various academic programs that use CLOSO:

• "The College of Engineering and the College of Computers and Information Systems have an exceptional continuous improvement process that uses computerized data collection, assessment capabilities, and follow-up tracking. This process includes mapping course learning objectives to student outcomes, identifying "level of learning" for each outcome, and level of attainment data, using a software package called CLOSO. This system reduces the instructor's time and effort in preparing and collecting data, increases the reliability of the data, and allows for timely processing of the data for analysis, identifying planned corrective actions, and closing the loop on the actions taken. This system makes the assessment and evaluation process highly sustainable."

• "The program’s process for continuous improvement is excellent. A comprehensive, rigorous, metric-based assessment process has been implemented for student outcomes, and is embedded throughout the curriculum. The continuous improvement process ensures that graduates are prepared to attain the program’s educational objectives."

• "The computer engineering program's use of online technology, in nearly every observed facet of the undergraduate program, is notable. Faculty, staff students, and other constituents have online access to program components including course descriptions and syllabi for both required and elective courses, laboratory manuals for subject areas that include a laboratory component, course schedule and prerequisites. The standardized format used for all course materials ensure that this online presence is user friendly."
