A Web-Based University Courses Syllabi Generator

Abstract

To improve university students learning experience and in the quest for ABET accreditation, it is crucial to have clear and consistent syllabi encompassing the course outcomes and their relationship to the overall program outcomes for all offered courses.  This paper aims to present the automation of syllabi for engineering programs by introducing a web-based software application for course syllabus generation. The application has been developed using the best practices in educational theories and is fully aligned with ABET guidelines for program accreditation.   It streamlines the process of writing syllabi and ensures compliance and conformity for all courses offered within a program.  In addition, such automation reduces human errors, improves the student learning experience, reduces paper and printing costs and provides an environmental friendly alternative.

Keywords: ABET, engineering education, student learning, syllabi generation, quality improvement.
