title = "A hierarchical framework for mapping and quantitatively assessing program and learning outcomes",
abstract = "We have developed an outcome-based Hierarchical Quantitative Assessment (HQA) scheme that is comprehensive, open-ended, and recursive. Our web-based tool enables the user to structure sets of outcomes into levels, to define maps relating outcomes in adjacent levels, and to enter measures for the lowest level outcomes. The tool recursively calculates the transitive closure of the corresponding Directed Acyclic Graph, which induces relations among outcomes and weighted quantitative measures across levels. We used HQA to integrate our computing program outcomes and measures with those required for ABET CAC accreditation.",
