Creation of an Assessment Plan for a Project Based ElectricalEngineering Program

摘要

A joint program in Electrical Engineering has been created with Western KentuckyUniversity (WKU) and the University of Louisville (UofL). The program resides at WKU withUofL faculty delivering 16-24 hours into the curriculum through distance learning methods. Thefocus of the new EE program is a project-based curriculum. The mission of the new program isto build a foundation of knowledge in electrical engineering by integrating a variety of projectexperiences at every level throughout the curriculum. The program is to be relevant to the regionand to produce graduates who can immediately contribute to the profitability of the theiremployer. An assessment plan has been created to meet the outcomes of the program. A varietyof assessment measures are used in this plan.
