Evidence of Student Learning - Internal: How will the program measure what I have learned?:

a project from the Captone course (n=39 out of a population of 39) was collected and reviewed by external evaluators using 3-point rubrics to determine the level of competency for each outcome. 

The results from 2009 (n=39 out of a population of 39) indicated that on average, students demonstrated acceptable or above acceptable proficiency levels on some program level outcomes. Average scores ranged between 2.05 and 2.24 on a three-point scale, with 1 being unacceptable, 2 being acceptable, and 3 being proficient.

Student seemed weak on other outcomes with the average scores below 2, especially on the Security outcome, where the average was 1.46.
