institutions that offer a technology-based curriculum are particularly reliant onadjunct faculty. Clearly adjunct faculty is highly valued in technology programs for its course –specific expertise and industry correlation. However this faculty is typically teaching as asupplement to a separate full time career and therefore does not have the resources available todevote to a protracted or confusing assessment routine.In order to compile a successful assessment report, a sustainable assessment program must beestablished that distills the complex requirements into components that can be easily andefficiently executed by its faculty. The reporting system must be sufficiently clear andunambiguous such that it becomes a part of the semester close-out

Ideally, the educators should teach in a well-managed,student-centered environment with reasonably structured framework. They should stressfundamental knowledge, equip the students with solid skills and expose them to cutting-edgetechnologies 2. It has been found that obtaining practical knowledge from college is morebeneficial to the students’ professional career than mastering any new technology 3.
