In this paper I draw parallels between the development of these two disciplines, with the aim of highlighting how they might contribute to assessment, from an inter- and cross-disciplinary perspective. I then explore the subject of university assessment, examining how this is performed and whether the criteria adopted are consistent with universities’ missions. Sociology is more interested in exploring the aims and uses of evaluation, while management engineering is more focused on processes, shifting the attention to the technical aspects of evaluation, and thus risk overlooking its specific effects on the Italian university system.

Abstract
In this paper I draw parallels between the development of these two disciplines, with the aim of highlighting how they might contribute to assessment, from an inter- and cross-disciplinary perspective. I then explore the subject of university assessment, examining how this is performed and whether the criteria adopted are consistent with universities’ missions. Sociology is more interested in exploring the aims and uses of evaluation, while management engineering is more focused on processes, shifting the attention to the technical aspects of evaluation, and thus risk overlooking its specific effects on the Italian university system.
