Abstract | The associate degree programmes discussed in this article are offered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In the first part of the article is presented a curriculum comparison study of the historically Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredited Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technology (EEET) associate degree programme at Applied College, Hafr Al Batin, the currently ABET-accredited Instrumentation and Control Engineering Technology (ICET) associate degree programme at Jubail Industrial College (JIC), and the currently ABET-accredited Electronics and Communication Technology (ECT) and Instrumentation and Control Technology (ICT) associate degree programmes at Yanbu Industrial College (YIC). The currently ABET-accredited ICET programme at JIC, and ECT and ICT programmes at YIC have served as a regional benchmark for the historically ABET-accredited EEET programme at Applied College. In the second part of the article, the indirect assessment process of ABET student outcomes and evaluation of ABET programme criteria of the EEET programme at Applied College is described. |
