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

Disparity of Faculty Resources

Only current searches CS and Physics w/ 2 EE slots filled in 2007

In 3 years (2008) EE and Physics Dept’swill be roughlythe same UG size asChemE, both have 2 to 3 times as thenumber of faculty than that in ChemE

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 20081. Revise Reaction Kinetics Course with eye on poor performance in FE

exams as well as look for opportunities to reinforce numerical methods. (Owner: Leclerc) IN PROGRESS – course revamped

2. Complete evaluation of ChemE Laboratory sequence to reinforce transport concepts. Evaluate two lab senior year (Owners: All Faculty )

IN PROGRESS

3. Learn from other schools effective methods of teaching assessment and modes to improve teaching effectiveness (Owner: Weinkauf) Carry Over

4. Conduct the scheduled 5-10 year review of alumni and gage success of Educational Objective #4 (Owner: Faculty and Staff).

NOT MET – IN PROGRESS

5. Design and Implement ChE 110 - Intro course with assessment eyes on retention. (Owner: Tartis).

MET – NEW COURSE CHE 189 OFFERED

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

2. Evaluate senior design presentation with quantitative results (Owner: Faculty and IAB)

3. Re-evaluate use and value of FE Exam results (Owner: Faculty)

4. Set-up annual review of alumni and graduates (Owner: Faculty) 5. Review curriculum, i.e. evaluate pre-requisites, tech electives, coverage of

learning outcomes (Owner: Faculty)

Educational Objectives Report:

1. Summarize FE exam results

2. Update placement statistics

3. Recent Graduate Survey Results

4. Alumni Survey Results (every 3 years)

5. Summarize: Outside review of design presentations

6. Summarize: General Degree Requirement Assessment (broad education)
