Results
A review of the capstone project in COP 4530, Data Structures, in Fall 2003 resulted in
91% obtaining 70% or better in one section, and 100% obtaining 70% or better in the
other section. A review of the capstone project in COP 4610, Operating Systems,
resulted in 96% obtaining 70% or better for Fall 2003.

Analysis of
Results
These results indicate that we are currently exceeding this outcome in all of the
capstone courses. Because what we are doing seems to be working well, we will
continue to focus efforts and resources on successfully achieving this outcome.
Successfully, achieving this outcome is critical to our students and to our program.
Consequently, the performance data will be reviewed by the Undergraduate Curriculum
Committee. If the performance in any of the senior-level required programming
courses is identified as not meeting the assessment level, the curriculum of the
course(s) will be reviewed and suggestions made to strengthen those aspects of the
course(s) that have been shown to be problematic through the evaluation criteria. This
may involve adding more lectures or more assignments in the relevant area.

Oversight Report".
