Evaluation of the Graduate Attributes Achievement on Specialty of Remote Sensing Science and Technology

With regard to the specialty of remote sensing science and technology, the definition and decomposition of 12 graduate attributes toward solving complex engineering problems were studied. The course matrix which supported the achievement of graduate attributes was established through the bottom-up and top-down methods. By using the curriculum scores of each course evaluation on graduates of 2016 to 2018 was adopted. The results showed that all the 12 graduate attributes were achieved and the overall achievement scores were steadily increasing. The attributes with high scores were 8 “Ethics”, 5 “Modern tool usage” and 12 “Life-long learning”, while the low scored attributes were 1 “Engineering knowledge” and 4 “Investigation”. The method in this paper is consistent with the outcome-based principle in higher engineering education. Under this evaluation mechanism, the design of teaching activities will be around the achievement of graduate attributes, making the evaluating and tracing outcomes being possible.
