Program Educational Objective Actions for 2004
·
More data on employer survey are critical. There are a
reasonable number of returns on the alumni survey but inadequate response from
employer surveys. ·
Employer survey questions are to be aligned more closely
with the program objectives rather than with the currently alignment with program
outcomes. ·
Alumni survey questions are to be aligned more closely with
the program objectives rather than with the current alignment with program outcomes. ·
Remove or better delineate the objective evaluation
instruments: SDSM&T departments, SDSM&T student, and the Student
Satisfaction-Importance (SSI) survey Implementation Plan ·
Devise an improved methodology to obtain employer
input. Consider interviewing
interviewers who come to campus to hire our graduates. Populate the Advisory Board with employers. ·
Reduce the complexity of evaluation of objectives by
reducing the number of groups from which input is sought while maintaining
representation from all constituents. Objective Improvement ·
Curriculum should be improved to make communication skills
better. This action is closely related to an Outcome Assessment Action Items
and is thereby slated for improvement action. ·
More emphasis should be given in ethics, professionalism
and global issues. This action is closely related to an Outcome Assessment
Action Items and is thereby slated for improvement action, primarily in MET 310
and MET 321. Implementation Plan ·
Develop modules on topics such as ethics, societal context,
and global issues for use in our courses and/or embedded these topics within
each course. This would be particularly
useful in ethics so that students know that we are committed to ethical
practice. The Regents are moving to implement
these requirements within the General Education requirement as well. ·
Continue to intensify the rewriting of laboratory reports
to assure that every student must learn what a well-written report contains and
how it is produced. |
