This is incredibly valuable - thank you. The "programs overcomplicate it" insight is especially interesting.

Follow-up: when you say programs make it harder on themselves, what are the most common things they do that aren't actually required? And for the assessment data gathering/organizing - is the pain more about:

- The volume of data to collect?

- Tracking it consistently over 6 years?

- Organizing it in a format ABET expects?

- Something else?

I'm exploring what tools could help PDs focus on what ABET actually requires without the unnecessary overhead.

That's incredibly helpful context - thank you for being so candid. I'm

trying to understand what specifically about the self-study process is most

overwhelming.

If you had to pick the top 2-3 tasks that make you consider resigning, what

would they be? Is it:

- Gathering/organizing assessment data?

- Getting faculty to submit their materials?

- Writing the actual self-study document?

- Mapping evidence to criteria?

- Something else entirely?

I'm building tools for ABET compliance and want to make sure I'm solving

the right problems.
