SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis has proven effective in assisting institutions of higher education establish goal and objective prioritization. This ideal was put to the test by the new head of Engineering Technology (ET) at Kansas State University at Salina in the 2005 fall semester.

This paper chronicles the department head’s experiences in his attempt to satisfy the directive.
