Review identifies common themes in technical graduate attribute indicators among Canadian universities, suggesting pathways for consistent competencies.
The CEAB requires all accredited Canadian engineering programs to ensure that their graduates acquire competency in specific areas at the time of graduation. By design, every institution is expected to define their own measurable indicators for every graduate attribute and to track these indicators across its programs. This leads to a wide variation of indicators between universities. The goal of this paper is to provide a review of the technical graduate attribute indicators of a selection of accredited Canadian engineering programs and to identify common themes among them. The research question for this review paper is: What are the common themes among the technical graduate attribute indicators from accredited Canadian engineering programs? This graduate attribute indicator review can be used as a resource by universities who are engaging in the indicator redesign process.
