Program learning outcomes:
What Will I Learn?:
  • Graduates will be prepared to compete successfully in securing employment or progressing in their chosen fields.
  • Graduates will be able to develop and implement effective software solutions to real world problems.
  • Graduates will demonstrate the knowledge and skills required to contribute to the development and maintenance of large-scale software applications within an organizational structure.
  • Graduates will be able to communicate appropriately for technical and expert audiences.
  • Graduates will apply mathematical models and methods in problem solving.
Evidence of Student Learning - Internal: How will the program measure what I have learned?:

Assignments from courses are collected and reviewed by external evaluators to determine the level of competency for each outcome.

In summer 2010 results of outcome #2 (graduates will be able to develop and implement effective software solutions to real world problems) was assessed; student performance varied between 78% to 95% at acceptable or proficient level.

In spring 2010, results of outcome #3 (graduates will demonstrate the knowledge and skills required to contribute to the development and maintenance of large-scale software applications within an organizational structure) showed that with a few exceptions, 100% of the projects were judged to be proficient or acceptable on various aspects of the outcome.
Results of External Exams/Assessments: What third-party assessments will measure what I have learned?:
