A Study on the Development of Evaluation Model for Achieving Program Education Objectives in Accreditation of Engineering Education

The main purposes of this study was to develop evaluation model, which provides program educational objectives(PEO) evaluationresearch with guidances on how to evaluate the program educational objectives and procedures in order to enhance the quality ofengineering education. Educational objective evaluation is reciprocal processes that depend on and affect one another. Thus, theevaluation component deals with how to identify members' strengths, weakness, and needs, how to assess and improve theeffectiveness of curriculum programs, and how to provide data that assist in decision making. After literature reviews about thecase studies on the program educational objectives evaluation, this study, to understand the meaning of education evaluation andthe engineering accreditation, and then, examined the evaluation model for program educational objectives. This study suggestedevaluation components of program educational objectives. In particular, the distinctions between diagnostic, formative, and summativeevaluation are discussed. The result of this study is significant in terms of guiding the future evaluation model development forprogram educational objectives.
