Student Profile and Assessment Records (SPAR)

Part III - Assessment of Undergraduate Program Outcomes

[Each program will supply program outcomes for student evaluation. The student will be asked to update his/her assessment of program outcomes each time SPAR is accessed so as to maintain an up-to-date student assessment of program performance. The student will be asked to provide comments for those outcomes receiving a low assessment.]

Rate the following desired outcomes of the UAB Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Program using a scale of 1 through 5 where these numbers are defined as follows.

5 – This outcome was definitely met and does not need additional attention by the Faculty.
4 – This outcome exceeded minimal expectations but needs some tweaking by the Faculty.
3 – This outcome was minimally met; however, the Faculty should look at ways to strengthen this outcome in the curriculum.
2 – This outcome was marginally met and needs attention by the Faculty.
1 – This outcome was not met and needs aggressive attention on the part of the Faculty.
