title = "ASSESSMENT OF THE STUDENTS{\textquoteright} SELF-EFFICACY REGARDING THE CEAB GRADUATED ATTRIBUTES",
abstract = "To meet the accreditation criteria set forth by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board, institutions are required to provide evidence that their graduates exhibit proficiency in 12 specific attributes. These attributes are usually assessed by instructors, albeit with some reliability and validity concerns. In an effort to enhance the variety of data sources, a study has been initiated to measure students' perceived sense of competency in relation to these graduate attributes. To assess their self-efficacy, 207 first to fourth year undergraduate students of sixteen courses were asked to voluntarily respond to a survey during the last three weeks of the fall 2023 semester. The statistical analysis of the gathered data reveals that students' self-efficacy is the lowest toward the graduate attribute 9 related to the impact of engineering on society and the environment. Therefore, a program improvement is recommended to enhance the students{\textquoteright} self-efficacy regarding this graduate attribute.",
