Methods Feedback
Mechanisms Require the use of
subject-specific software in selected
design-oriented courses (e.g., ENGR 425, 428, 431,
435) Require students to
take laboratory courses (ENGR 302, 335, 430), which
ensure hands-on experience with
instrumentation. Assign problems in
targeted courses requiring students to learn
software, such as spreadsheets, word-processing,
visual presentation software, etc., which are not
normally covered in the lectures. 1. In elective
courses (ENGR 425, 428, 431, 435), students agree
(with an average of 2.0 or less) that they have
been exposed to modern subject-specific engineering
tools. 1. Student course
surveys. 2. In ENGR 302,
335, and 430 students agree (with an average score
of 2.0 or less) that they have acquired the ability
to use modern subject-specific engineering
instrumentation. 2. Student course
surveys. 3. At least 70% of
the faculty agree that our graduates have achieved
