Assessment of Program Objectives
The EE Program has established the following methods to evaluate its success in achieving its educational objectives:
- Industrial Advisory Board – This group was formed in fall 1999, by invitation, to engineers working in industry who have either hired our students or stated an interest in hiring our students. The objective is to obtain feedback concerning our program from one of our key customers.
- Survey of Graduating Seniors – The objective of this survey is to obtain feedback from one of our key customers while the program is still fresh in their minds.
- Alumni Survey – The objective of this survey is to obtain feedback from one of our key customers after they have begun to implement the fruits of our program in their lives and careers.
While each of the above activities does provide feedback very useful to evaluating and improving the EE program, these activities currently only indirectly evaluate the educational objectives. The surveys will be altered in future years to more directly ask specific questions related to our educational objectives.
