• Assessment Plan

  	Spring Semester	Fall Semester
  Evaluation of student work includes quizzes, midterms, finals and SE 6510 Design Project Target for H = High applicability = 80% of students in the course receive an 85% or higher Target for M = High applicability = 80% of students in the course receive an 80% or higher	X
  Industrial Advisory Council recommendations		X
  Graduate Survey – Administered in SE 6510 Design Project (Capstone)A 5 question student survey - This survey inquires for industry certifications, promotions/advanced opportunities at work, and continuing engagement in the systems community	X

  Following the above schedule, the assessment committee will convene during the assigned times to review the effectiveness of course delivery in achieving department objectives, industry needs, and to establish a Course Assessment Plan.

  The Plan includes summary evidence of:

  • How the course currently satisfies the student learning outcomes
  • Industry needs being met
  • Investigation and identification of emerging technology trends
     

  Evidence of learning for a specific student learning outcome is deemed successful if: 

  • Target for H = High applicability = 80% of students in the course receive an 85% or higher
  • Target for M = High applicability = 80% of students in the course receive an 80% or higher
     

  Program recommendations will be compiled by Spring semester and submitted for review by MSSE Faculty and MSSE Industry Advisory Council, effectively closing the loop and thus engaging department action toward addressing deficiencies in achieving student learning outcomes. Recommendations for improvement will be implemented during the subsequent year indicated in the schedule above.
