Telecommunications option was suspended in 2013 due to lowenrolment; thus, currently the program offers concentration options in Electrical, Mechanical,and Computer systems.The program curriculum includes the following components: a) a university core of 21 hours thatincludes humanities and social sciences; b) a 14 hour college core that includes additional mathand science; c) a 32 hour systems engineering core that includes courses in computerprogramming, circuits, probability and random signals, engineering economy, optimizationmethods, decision and risk analysis, DES

Students evaluated instructors on14 items using a Likert scale between 1 and 5, with 1 being the poorest assessment of a particularitem and 5 being the best, and their results were compiled in a spreadsheet. Summary statisticswere calculated and tabulated as shown in Table 3 for each engineering discipline evaluated. Theaverage results range from 69.2% to 95.4%. Of the six instructors, two obtained average ratingsof above 90%, three received ratings between 80% and 90%, and one received a rating of below70%. Comments that accompanied some of these higher
