Objective How Measured When Measured

Improvements Identified

Improvements Implemented
S1 Senior Project Each time the course is taught for each student Heavy load on faculty members Courses established for load issues.
S2 Requirement of 2nd language Each time the course is taught for each student Too many language options. C++ required for all core classes.Other languages taught at advanced level.One additional language required, Java suggested.
S3 Courses in Software Engineering Each time the course is taught for each student Industry demand for more emphasis than found in core courses. Separate courses created in Human Factors and RAD, allowed for electives
S4 Computational Theory, Discrete Structures Each time the course is taught for each student Heavy occupational emphasis discouraged theoretical involvement Use of faculty with heavy industry experience teaching theory classes to show relevance.
S5 Course requirements(including the senior project) include written papers and oral presentations Each time the course is taught for each student Grading of work involving writing excessive. Reduction of work load and increase in grader hours.
S6 Software Engineering and Senior Project During the senior project course and at the time the student makes the senior project presentation. Senior projects were individual projects and time requirements were too great Additional faculty were hired.� Software Engineering and Senior Project classes re-designed
F1 Teaching schedules are adjusted for student needs and faculty interest Each semester Many students work and cannot make day schedule Heavy emphasis given to night program. All faculty encouraged to teach one night course/year
F2 Student evaluations of courses Each semester, every course Some problems not discovered in timely fashion. Adjunct evaluation techniques need improvement Summative required for all faculty in every class.
F3 Publications, presentations Ongoing Incentives not sufficient. Workload too high. Inclusion as part of rank and tenure policy.�Workload reduced. Additional faculty hired.
F4 Attend conferences, consulting, journals Ongoing Workload too high Workload reduced to ABET standards
