This course is used to verify that all EECE graduates meet Program Outcome b), "An ability to design and conduct experiments as well as analyze and interpret data." Therefore, in addition to the grading policy stated above, to pass students must meet additional requirements.
Assessment Mechanism and Criteria:
Assessment will be based on an evaluation of the test plan document and the final project report for ECE 490B, Senior Project. A student will demonstrate successful completion of this outcome by achieving a score of 10 of 14 based on the assessment rubric shown in the attached table.
See the attached outcome b) rubric for specific requirements.
This course is used to verify that all EECE graduates meet Program Outcome e): "An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems" Therefore, in addition to the grading policy stated above, to pass students must meet additional requirements.
Assessment Mechanism and Criteria:
Assessment will be based on the documentation produced for the two-semester senior project classes, EECE 490A and 490B. A student will demonstrate successful completion of this outcome by achieving a score of 16 of 22 (based on the assessment rubric shown in the attached table) on the project concept, requirements, and design documents.
See the attached outcome e) rubric for specific requirements.
Roll will be taken each day and attendance is a factor into the grading.
Any student who has more than two unexcused absences during the semester will fail the course.
First offense in any course: Zero on the paper
or exam being graded and a permanent entry describing the cheating entered
into the student's file.
Second offense in any course: F in the course grade, a permanent
entry describing the cheating entered into the student's file, and referral
of the cheating to Student Judicial Affairs.
ABET Embedded Assessment Components for this course:
Metric: The measure of student proficiency (e.g., a quantitative or qualitative measure of achievement on an assignment or test question which emphasizes the target outcome)
Rubric: Evaluative conclusions versus corresponding descriptions of achievement level (e.g., highest score represents mastery)
Standard: Evaluative result that represents minimally acceptable achievement of proficiency
The following table describes the course embedded assessment components for this course.
