Abstract
A plan for assessing CEAB graduate attributes was executed on a pilot basis during 2010-2011 at Ryerson University. Based on the assessment results, improvements to the programs were recommended. The Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Science (FEAS) at Ryerson University has eight engineering programs and seven science programs. The development of the CEAB assessment system was overseen by the FEAS Quality Assurance Council which includes several working groups. This paper presents the lessons and best practices gained during this one-year assessment. The best practices are related to the leadership structure, assessment elements, assessment methods, assessment data and results, and future program improvements. The presented best practices should be useful to the engineering programs that are planning to start or have already started the assessment process.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
