Abstract

In the last decade, academia has undergone a paradigm change unprecedented since the space race. Education is now directed toward customer-focused programs. No longer can academia tell students, business, and industry what it will teach; academia must now look to its constituencies, meet their needs, and continuously improve to keep meeting those changing needs. One of the key factors in a continuous improvement program is assessment.
