It is strongly desirable to continuously study the program outcomes that are one of the requirements of engineering accreditation. In this paper, the results of program outcome evaluation obtained by using four tools - exit written exams, essay tests, capstone design, and an official English test - were compared to those of program outcome evaluation obtained by a course-embedded assessment method. The former evaluation was carried out for 15 students who graduated in February 2010 by using the four evaluation tools, while the latter was performed by using a course offered in the Spring and Fall semesters in 2009. Two evaluation results revealed no large difference in almost all 12 program outcomes, which indicates that course-embedded assessment would be one of the practical and effective program outcome evaluation tools.

This study examined the multi-phrased effects and outcomes of adult female learners who participated in lifelong learning activities, as well as the proposed structural relationships among the five latent variables. Questions established to achieve the purpose of the study are as follow: What effects do the learner's characteristics, lifelong education institutions, learning flow, and learning satisfaction have on the learning come? The participants of the survey numbered 632, but 54 respondents who were unreliable or did not complete their survey were excluded. A total of 578 cases were analyzed for this research. The structural relationships among the five latent variables-learner's characteristics, lifelong education institutions, learning flow and learning satisfaction, and learning outcome of the adult female learners-AMOS 18.0 program were also used for structural analysis. The major findings of this research are as follows. First, the model fitness showed that the hypothetical model provided a reasonable fit to the data ${\chi}^2=224.267$ (df=69, p<.001), RMSEA=.062, TLI=.943, RFI=.920, CFI=.957, IFI=.957, NFI=.939. Second, the learner's characteristics ( =.218, p<.001) and lifelong education institutions ( =.301, p<.001) have a direct effect on the learning outcomes. The learning flow ( =-.149 p=.541) does not have a direct effect on the learning outcome. Learning satisfaction ( =.405 p<.001) have a direct effect on the learning outcome. To put findings above together, in respect to adult female learners' performances, the learning outcomes are influenced directly by the learner characteristics, conditions of the lifelong education institutions, and learning satisfaction, whereas satisfaction indirectly affects the learners' learning outcome.

This study has a purpose, that investigating influence of learning characteristic, lifelong learning participation motive, and wisdom that adult has at learning outcome and whether it has mediating effect of wisdom at influence that learning characteristic and lifelong learning participation motive have. For this, the subjects of the study was 425 adult learners from 20 to 69 years old who participated or are participating at Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi-do. The results of this study are as in the following. At first, as a result of investigating relationship between learning characteristic, lifelong learning participation motive, wisdom, and learning outcome, the correlation coefficient of all variables appeared meaningfully. Second, as a result of investigating influence that learning characteristic, lifelong learning participation motive, and wisdom have in learning outcome, the most influential variable was learning value, the rest were cognitive capability, activity direction motive, learning direction motive and positive life attitude in this order. The third, as a result of investigating mediation effect of wisdom at influence that learning characteristic and lifelong learning participation motive have in learning outcome, Wisdom at the influence that learning characteristic have on learning outcome had completely mediated effect, and the wisdom at the influence that lifelong participation motive have on learning outcome had partially mediated effect. Thus, it was shown up that adult's learning characteristic and lifelong learning participation motive are able to increase effectively learning outcome by mediating wisdom. Therefore it is implying that it is essential to consider learning characteristic and lifelong learning participation motive in lifelong education field, and learning circumstance related with wisdom is important, as wisdom is important variable for increasing learning outcome.

Assessment of program achievement is an essential item to analyze and improve the engineering education program. Program achievements are the abilities to be obtained after finishing the 4 year engineering program, and the program achievements should be evaluated for the quality improvement of program. There are two important considerations to determine the assessment method. the first one is reliability and the second one is the feasibility. In this paper, we propose a assessment tools and introduce the assessment methods of program outcomes. The proposed method is designed to enhance the reliability and feasibility of assessment in engineering education.
