title = "Evolution of the assessment of educational objectives of the Civil Engineering Program, United Arab Emirates University",
abstract = "This paper presents the outcomes assessment process adopted by the Civil Engineering Program of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, United Arab Emirates University. The assessment is done considering three sets of objectives; an original set considered prior to the academic year 2006-2007, a new set considered effective of academic year 2006-2007, and a modified new set considered in 2008-2009. The new and modified sets of objectives were developed to be consistent with the ABET definitions of objectives, to better reflect the changes of the curriculum and to consider feedbacks from various constituencies on the educational objectives. Different assessment-calculation approaches were considered for the three sets of objectives. The results show that the objectives of the five considered assessment cycles (five academic years) were met as per prescribed success criteria.",
