• Responsible for managing and editing the content of the 2012 Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) Questionnaire report for the UBC Okanagan School of Engineering• Worked closely with engineering professors to collect student performance data to demonstrate the extent to which engineering students possess each of the CEAB’s 12 graduate attributes upon graduation; this was completed in the 4 following steps:1. Developed and delivered a course-to-graduate attribute curriculum map survey to identify where the attributes are being developed in the different courses of each program (civil, electrical and mechanical engineering)2. Formulated a list of descriptors of what students must do to be considered competent in each of the 12 graduate attributes 3. Identified assessment tools from selected courses and analyzed the results 4. Used results to develop a proposed program improvement planSELECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS:✔ Report content was a major contributor to the School of Engineering receiving a six-year extension of its current accreditation for the civil and mechanical engineering programs, and a three-year extension of its current accreditation for the electrical engineering program
