Technology at Daytona State College seeks to offer acompletely online Bachelor of Science program in Electrical Engineering Technology. Currently,all lectures are delivered online for all department courses; however, some laboratories stillrequire campus facility attendance. As an alternative, some lab courses rely on simulators, whichsometimes provide a limited reproduction of the conditions. Such is the case of the EET 3085LElectricity and Electronic Lab course, a sophomore-level class with increasing enrollment overthe years. An online and an in-lab section of EET 3085L are offered concurrently. Both sectionscover the same experiments, with the difference being that online students use circuit simulationsoftware (Multisim) to complete the labs
were presented with the flexure on the final exam) with the 2023 Fall cohort, who werepresented with the flexure during the first class meeting and in subsequent group activities.The first measurement was on performance against the relevant learning objective as stated in thecourse syllabus. This learning objective was inherited from a previous instructor and was statedas “Upon successful completion of this course, students will demonstrate an ability to apply theFinite Element Method (FEM) through selection of appropriate analysis methods and applicationof appropriate analysis tools to determine meaningful results and validate accuracy of results.”Fall 2022 students received an average of 4.19 on a scale of 1-5; Fall 2023 students received
with this proposal and will consult students and alumni via online surveys. The faculty will then consider the responses from all constituents before reaching a decision. IF accepted, action will be taken starting in Fall, 2021.With those modifications, the final consensus that the department … i) should move to the use of CAS calculators for work where students need to use calculus in engineering technology courses while ii) having students learn to perform calculus operations by hand before moving to the calculator; this can be done in the required calculus course.was approved unanimously by the IAB members present.The process continued with seeking input from alumni and from students. This was
online/hybrid courses to support students at all regionalcampuses. Regional campuses are benefitting from this setup and co-listing courses and sharingfaculty. Courses that do not involve laboratory components could be taught remotely wherestudents from all regional campuses can attend. The use of LMS along with a Zoom platform forvideo conferencing has made it possible to deliver content remotely.V. Program AssessmentAssessment is a process by which programs can identify, collect, and evaluate data for theattainment of student learning outcomes and program educational objectives [1]. The assessmentprocess helps programs establish and reinforce guidelines for faculty and staff to follow inevaluating outcomes, obtaining feedback and making

The ET department faculty implemented the recommendation of requiring CAScalculators by incorporating a statement in the syllabus in fall II 2021, spring, spring I & II 2022,and summer III 2022 in several of its MATH based 2000 level courses, 3000 and 4000 levelcourses.(I b) Documented evidence demonstrating that the results of student outcome assessment andevaluation are systematically utilized as input for the program's CI actions – Continuedimplementation of Oral Presentation in ENGT 2030, AC Circuits and Applications, a course thatis required for the BS in EET program:In fall 2019, assessment and evaluation were performed in ABET SO 2
and has been distributed among theinstructors to complete at the end of the semester. Student evaluation of the course at the end ofeach semester is used as feedback on course delivery and instruction. Other feedback from coursecoordinators is compiled in the planning guides which helps gather more evidence-basedevaluation and offer recommendations for improvement. Other information collected from theinstructors includes curriculum worksheets with information about their classes such as coursenumbers, lecture/lab schedule, and delivery modes. They also upload the syllabus to the sharedOneDrive folders.VI.
