It tries to ascertain the needs of the customer. The customer in this case is a widebody of constituents ranging from students, government agencies, employers, safety regulatorsetc. It focuses on making students graduating with a safety engineering qualification employable.This step tries to ascertain what outcomes stakeholders expect out of the program. Opinionsexpressed are generally qualitative in nature. However, before we can proceed, this qualitativedata has to be converted to quantitative data. This is accomplished

These reforms were undertaken when an analysisof the programs that should be providing the advanced manufacturing workforce revealed that1: • Some of the curricular frameworks that, in principle, inform the outcomes of manufacturing related A.S. and A.A.S. degrees, which may potentially address many of the high skills required by manufacturers, are outdated
