Students will develop knowledge and safety skills relevant to Industrial Technology.
Objective
Development Of Students' Knowledge And Skills
Students will be able to demonstrate competency in key areas of industrial technology by passing the OSHA Safety Course and receive OSHA Certification. The OSHA Certification serves as a capstone requirement. The test is administered by an outside agency.
Indicator
ITEC 4382 OSHA Certification
All students enrolled in the program must complete ITEC 4382 and receive their OSHA Certification in Safety. The course addresses key concepts and skills relevant to safety in the field of Industrial Technology. Each semester all students are required to take the OSHA Certification examination as the capstone activity for the course. The cortication exam is divided into multiple sections, however, an overall passing grade of 70% or higher is passing.
Criterion
100% Certification Rate
There is a consensus that at least 80% of the students taking the OSHA examination will make a 90 or higher on the exam, while, 100% will be certified by making a score of 70 or higher.
Finding
Certification
All students that took the OSHA certification exam passed the exam with a 70 or higher. However, the average score was 88.7 falling short of the goal of a 90. Fall Hazards and Health Hazards in construction zones were the areas with the poorest performance from students
Action
Component Improvement
More time and simulations will be used to increase student performance in Health and Fall Hazards in construction areas.
Goal
Develop Professional Skills
Students will learn the skills necessary to compete in the professional marketplace.
Objective
Demonstrate Professional Skills
Students completing the BS in Instructional Technology will demonstrate skills necessary to compete in the professional marketplace through an internship.
Indicator
ITEC 4391 Internship Evaluation
All students enrolled in the program must complete ITEC 4391 in their final year of enrollment. ITEC 4391 addresses key concepts and skills, as well as practical demonstrations of competency relevant to the field of industrial technology. Each semester interns will be evaluated by their internship supervisor and by their faculty supervisor on a faculty-developed rating scale.
Criterion
85% Meeting Expectations
There will be a general consensus among I T Faculty members who review both university and internship supervisor assessments that at least 85% of the students enrolled in ITEC 4391 demonstrated an above average (4.0 or higher) level of performance on the rating scales.
Finding
Intenrship Performance
All Students successfully complete their internship with assessed skill level from their supervisor of 4 or 5. According to supervisor, the interns were professional with exceptional work ethics. Skill levels met the expectations of the job requirement. Safety management was an area that a few supervisors would like to see expanded in the curriculum.
Action
Program Review Of Outcomes
The program exceeded goal of 4.0, however, safety management will be reviewed in curriculum to determine potential areas of inclusion.
