The management of an engineering program with over one thousand students is a daunting task, which requires the use structured management approaches and objective performance data. In this paper it is presented the rational for the adoption of a process approach for large engineering programs management. As a case study, the assessment framework used at an ACM and CDIO based Informatics Engineering program in Portugal is presented.
