Summary of Data
Students’ scores will be compared to measure improvement rate.
Strengths/Concerns evident in the data

Developing test
N/A
Used employment statistics to measure student’s competency to enter
an applied science environment.
This was easy to administer, student contact has to be maintained to be
effective.
Based on the above data, what changes do you propose?
Continually develop instruments for measuring objectives. (The AAS is a newer program with only about 12 part and full time
students enrolled this academic year.)

2.
Used final exam to measure student engineering design competency
Exit survey: (23 responses)
With an average score of 87 and a standard deviation of 3.4
Concern: as engineering software evolves, it may be difficult to benchmark
program success over time
3.
Used final exam to measure student competency
Exit survey: (21 responses)
With a average score of 85 and a standard deviation of 4.1
This was easy to administer with the independent instrument may be better
utilized to better capture the student knowledge base at the beginning of the
semester and their comprehension level at the end of the course.
1.
Students seem to be knowledgeable in the field of engineering materials.
Based on the above data, what changes do you propose?
Continue to improve the specific instrument in MFGT 105 for measuring the students understanding of the strength and
properties of various materials used in manufacturing.
Based on the above data, what changes do you propose?
Continually develop a set of more specific instruments as Engineering Materials evolve and add nanotechnology to
curriculum.

* Fifty question online test to evaluate competency of knowledge base for mechanical drawing developed by The University of
Central Missouri.
** The National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS) is the only ANSI accredited developer of precision manufacturing skill
standards and competency assessments.
Based on the above data, what changes do you propose?
1. Continue to revamp the pedagogy in ENGR 201 and MFGT 302 to capture the new engineering design software.
