• Location: Hilton Hotel in College Station, TX

ACCE construction program accreditation requires that 21 Student Learning Outcomes are measured on a regular basis and report findings and action to improve the courses.  On top of that most if not all universities are also requiring a different but complimentary set of Student Learning Outcomes be equally measured but on an annual basis.  Dr. Solis of COSC program will be sharing the thoughts and processes created to satisfy both, the results received this past semester and some ideas on where we are going as reporting requirements evolve and change.  Dr. Solis has worked extensively with the Office of Institutional Assessment and we are privileged to have Ms.  Bledsoe, OIA Program Coordinator, who will share her experience related to quality assessment practices and the role of faculty and administrators in assessment.  Quality data and assessment practices are instrumental in informing continuous improvement.

This workshop will be facilitated by Dr. José L. Fernández-Solís and Ms. Elizabeth Bledsoe.
