Improvements
• To address the below average of (78%) final exam grade,
the results of this assessment will be used to analyze
problems students are having and work with students and
give additional instructions to attain the target goal. A
Lesson Plan was developed to help students in the MAC
164 class with instructional objectives for their assigned
projects.
• In the DRF 128 (GD&T) class, the target goal was met, but a
continual emphasis will be put on surface finish as a
requirement in this program. Local industry has voiced a
concern in this area in hiring Quality Technicians. The
Course Outline (Syllabus) was revised to reflect surface
finish lesson requirement.
