Abstract: This research paper describes the design and proposed use of a database driven system to conduct curriculum assessment activities, with data from student performance on the national ISA examination. The system goes beyond existing web site capabilities to allow a two step mapping, from the ISA exam questions to objectives in individual courses in a CIS curriculum, via the IS 2002 model curriculum Learning Units (LU). The system allows access and updates by multiple faculty members and provides a means of proposing and tracking course changes over time. A variety of reports are produced by the system that can be used in the ABET reaccreditation cycle.
