Engineering is not merely knowing and being knowledgeable, like a walking encyclopedia; engineering is not merely analysis; engineering is not merely the possession of the capacity to get elegant solutions to non-existent engineering problems; engineering is practicing the art of the organized forcing of technological change ... Engineers operate at the interface between science and society ...
– Gordon S. Brown (1907 - 1996)

Program Assessment

We continuously improve all our programs by conducting regular Academic Program Reviews (APRs) that are coordinated through the Office of the Vice Provost for Planning, Resource Allocation, and Evaluation (VPPRAE) and  the Office of the Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs (VPAA).  The VPAA Office also maintains an online program portfolio for all the programs in our college, which can be accessed via the link below:

These program portfolios summarize university-level program assessment status reports that are collected every Fall semester (due September 31 every year). Additionally, our program assessment efforts within the College also includes, but is not limited to, the following activities:

  • Mandatory advising, every Spring, in preparation for coming academic year
  • Data gathering to evaluated program outcomes, every semester
  • (online) Graduating Senior Survey, every semester
  • college-level program assessment status report, every Fall
