2 Goals 2 Objectives 2 Indicators 2 Criteria 2 Findings 2 Actions
| GOAL: Develop Knowledge And Skills |
| Objective |
|
||||
| Students will be able to demonstrate competency in key areas of Construction Management. |
| Indicator |
|
|||
|
All students enrolled in the program must complete the Advanced Industrial Management course. The course addresses the skills and knowledge relevant to industrial management. Each semester several randomly selected assignments will be taken from the Advanced Industrial Management course. Faculty members will score the assignments using a scale of 1 - 5 with 3 "meets expectations," 4 "exceeds expectations," and 5 "far exceeds expectations." |
| Criterion |
|
|||
| There will be a general consensus among I T Faculty members that at least 70% of the students enrolled in the advanced management course will perform at an acceptable level with a score of 3 (meets expectations) or higher. |
| Finding |
|
|||
|
Assessed students had a working knowledge of safety and developing strategic plans for safety management. Students were able to identify hazards and devise a prevention plan. The faculty were pleased with the achievement of a 3.8average. Areas to improvement include depth of safety plan and depth of development of SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) Plan. |
Actions for Objective:
| Action |
|
|||
| Faculty will set high standards of performance from students while emphasizing writing skill and details in safety assessment projects. |
| GOAL: Develop Professional Skills |
| Objective |
|
||||
| Students completing the BS in Industrial Management will be able to demonstrate skills and their ability to compete in the professional marketplace through an internship. |
| Indicator |
|
|||
| All students enrolled in the program must complete assessment assignments in ITED 4390 in their final year of enrollment. IT 4390 addresses key concepts and skills relevant to the field of technology. Each semester interns will be evaluated by their internship supervisor and by their faculty supervisor on a faculty-developed rating scale. |
| Criterion |
|
|||
| There will be a general consensus among I T Faculty members who review both university and internship supervisor assessments that at least 70% of the students enrolled in I T 4390 demonstrated an acceptable level of performance on the rating scales. |
| Finding |
|
|||
| Two students were enrolled in ITEC 4390; each achieved the expected outcomes from supervising faculty and site supervisors. Students demonstrated exceptional professional skills and exceeded faculty expectations with assessment average of 4. |
Actions for Objective:
| Action |
|
|||
|
Due to small enrollment next year's criterion will remain the same as this year. However, if numbers continue to be minimal, faculty will consider other areas for professional assessment. |
| Closing the Loop |
|
Strategic planning committee is considering expanding safety program in the future to a certification area rather than a complete degree program. Certification will be associated with post baccalaureate programs. Other areas of assessment are being considered rather that ITEC 4390.
