Abstract

We intend to follow up with a full paper. In this paper we describe the challenges faced in a forced online learning environment in the aspects of course delivery and assessment for ABET accreditation. The ABET assessment development and mapping process in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, the assessment organization is described. Further, a handbook developed to assist faculty in curricular redesign and rethinking assessment strategies for use in an online learning environment is described. This paper emphasizes the need for redesign of assessment methods for ABET accreditation in an online learning environment.
