Assessment and Accreditation
The University is developing a university-wide outcomes-based assessment process for all its programs. The objective is a continuous assessment process to improve the quality of the curriculum and the University graduates.
The College of Engineering has six programs fully accredited by ABET, Inc. (in the USA) for the period 2009–2015. Department of Chemistry was accredited by the Canadian Society of Chemistry in 2009. The Business Management Program reviewed by the Bahrain Quality Assurance Authority for Education and Training (QAAET) and obtained confident status. ABET is due to review the College of Information Technology's three programs (computer science, information systems, and computer engineering) in October 2010. The Architecture Program and Interior Design programs are under review by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) and the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA).

Famous quotes containing the word assessment:
“The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.”
—Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)
