  2. Overview • Completed the second ME continuous assessment loop under current format • Appear to be self-sustaining • Most faculty seem to buy in to the process • Need to emphasize more on employer feedback • College-level employer survey?

  3. ME PEOs Revision Process • Criticism: • Current PEOs are too similar to our POs • Not addressing graduates’ expected accomplishments a few years after graduation (ABET definition) • Revision: • Devise a new set of PEOs • Going through a systematic assessment process: committee, faculty, students, MEAC • Adopt officially Spring 2004

  4. POs Assessment Report • Self-grading on each PO • based on surveyed results from students, graduating seniors, and alumni • Course outcome assessment reports • Curriculum committee perception • Deficiencies on three POs • Function on multidisciplinary (MD) teams (PO-4): C+ • Ethical and professional responsibility (PO-6): C+ • Contemporary issues with societal and global context (PO-8): D+

  5. Improvement Plan (PO-4) • Has improved over the year • 50% senior capstone projects involve other departments • Outreach to outside college, ex. marketing • Continue to work with other departments to foster more collaborations • Need help from advisory council to bring in MD projects demanding multidisciplinary collaboration

  6. Improvement Plan (PO-6) • Recognize that classroom instruction might not be the best way to teach ethics and professional responsibility • Propose program-wise outreach requirement on educational and professional participation • Experiential learning • Outreach point system • Deliver the message often (throughout their academic careers) and early (freshmen)!!

  7. Improvement Plan (PO-8) • Identify contemporarily issues in engineering from a program perspective • Societal/global concerns, industrial trends, emerging technology • Introduce the concept early • Introduction to ME • Students presentation and discussion • Emphasize throughout the curriculum • Faculty integrate into their classes

  8. Program Reform- A Learning Community • Encourage professional outreach • Arrange structured educational activities for all students to engage in learning • mentor, tutor program • Learning Through Teaching: emphasis on experiential learning by involving students in teaching activities: in-class TA, lab assistant, classroom teaching, etc
