EE2 Personal Wellness
Program Synthesis
The Health and Physical Education program faculty chose to address the two QEP goals
above by having students in develop “depth of content” research and application project
that allowed for the synthesis of previously learned content into a Personal Wellness
Program. Students were expected to utilize mock fitness data and information to develop
a program of fitness, diet, and nutrition. The program synthesis is to be research-based
and supported by current literature in exercise physiology, physical fitness, and nutrition.
Faculty saw the project as demonstrating the student’s ability to research, gather and
organize data/information in a connected/integrated manner and to synthesize findings.
The table below represents the 2011-2012 results of the EE2 Depth of Content
Knowledge assignment from all program completers in the new Health and Physical

Upon review of the results of the EE2 Personal Wellness Program Synthesis, the HPE
faculty decided to change the delivery point of the EE2. Beginning in the 2012-2013
academic year, the assignment will be implemented during the HPE 358 Healthy Living
Concepts course. By implementing the assignment this way it will allow for needed time
and faculty guidance throughout the process. Further, it allows the student to
demonstrate analysis and application and the ability to then synthesize information prior
to beginning the internship sequence. These are important skills that can be utilized
during work with public school students during the year long internship.
