Seven program outcomes are being assessed using five courses with a total of thirteen performance criteria.  Only two of the courses were taught in the spring 2008 semester but at least one criterion was linked to six of the outcomes.  100% of the expectations were met or exceeded for those six outcomes listed below.

 

1.  Demonstrate a conceptual knowledge of the fashion/apparel industry

2.  Communicate effectively in written and presentation skills

4.  Identify, critique and evaluate emerging technologies and concepts applicable to their chosen field

5.  Demonstrate sound business principles and practices of the fashion/apparel industry          

6.  Demonstrate the ability to perform effectively in team environments

7.  Recognize the need for life long learning

 

2. If any program outcomes were not met, please list these (by number and by description) and discuss these in more detail.

One program outcome was not met due to the fact that the two courses used as criteria were not offered spring 2008 semester.

 

3.  Demonstrate an ability to plan, execute and critique their concepts and ideas

ATT3602                   Carol Ellis

No changes are recommended.  The course catalog description is quite lengthy will be shorten and updated for the 2008-09 catalog.

 

ATT4840                   Tom Ball

The course was scheduled for two students, one who graduated at the conclusion of spring semester.  Neither student had completed ATT3602 and ATT4750 so the design step was not included in the syllabus.   The course is scheduled again for spring 09 which will include the design portion.  No other changes are recommended at this time.

 

The committee accepted the coordinator’s recommendations.
