Trends in Freshmen Enrollment

Trends clearly indicate that ChemE will have roughly the same number of students as EE, Physics, and BIOL with less than half of the faculty support

Educational Objectives

Educational Objectives:

1. We will develop complete engineers who can: solve problems,

experiment, innovate, be resourceful, and champion ideas through effective communication.

2. We will engender an understanding of the broad reach of a modern

Chemical Engineering education and the array of knowledge required to implement solutions which will benefit our society.

3. We will provide a conduit to successful careers in the spectrum of fields

which benefit from a command of the principles of Chemical Engineering.

4. We will foster a life long love of learning, opening doors to graduate study and enabling graduates to adapt to changes and opportunities in the profession.

Recommended Actions: Educational Objectives for 20091. Overhaul/organize long term assessment plan (Owner: Faculty)

IN PROGRESS

2. Evaluate senior design presentation with quantitative results (Owner: Faculty and IAB) – DONE (must evaluate the evaluation tool)

3. Re-evaluate use and value of FE Exam results (Owner: Faculty) DONE – plan to use 2 year moving averages and

monitor slope of curve, reconnected with S. Alabama to obtain their data

4. Set-up annual review of alumni and graduates (Owner: Faculty) DONE – surveys out to 0,1,3 year grads

5. Review curriculum, i.e. evaluate pre-requisites, tech electives, coverage of

learning outcomes (Owner: Faculty) IN PROGRESS – added tech electives, ES pre-reqs under review, learning outcomes identified for each course, must evaluate CHE pre-reqs

Recommended Actions: Educational Objectives for 2010

1. Articulate long term assessment plan for Spring meeting (Owner: Faculty)

2. Prepare self-study for ABET (Owner: Faculty)

3. Increase unit-ops labs by 1 (Owner: Riley/Price)

4. Complete feasibility study to include safety in outcomes or objectives (Owner: Faculty)
