摘要
Recent updates to the ABET accreditation body's Criteria for Accrediting Computing Programs provide opportunities for program design and assessment efficiency and effectiveness improvements. An exploration of these opportunities resulted in a re-examination of our Computer Science program design. The resulting changes streamlined the program's management and assessment process while improving its effectiveness in maintaining a robust and relevant program. This paper documents the recent ABET changes and describes how the results of these changes further improved an already successful Computer Science program.
