Indicator
ITEC 4339 Design And Development Course Rubric
All students enrolled in the program are required to complete ITEC 4339 and successfully demonstrate use of resources and demonstrate acceptible designing skills. Each semester seven randomly selected student assignments will be reviewed by faculty members with expertise in the field. Faculty members will score the assignments using a scale of 1 - 5 with 3 "meets expectations," 4 "exceeds expectations," and 5 "far exceeds expectations."
Criterion
At Least 70% Meeting Expectations
There will be a general consensus among I T Faculty members that at least 70% of the students enrolled in ITEC 4339 will perform at an acceptable level with a score of 3.5 (meets standards) or higher.
Finding
Skill Assessment
On average the evaluated students (15) scored 4.3. As in the past assessments students are weaker in knowledge of free-hand sketching.
Action
Enrichment
Graphics is being emphasized in lower level courses. Basic drafting and line weight are being emphasised.
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 Design and Development (D&D) will demonstrate skills necessary to compete in the professional marketplace through an internship.
Indicator
ITED 4391 Internship Evaluation
All students enrolled in the program must complete ITED 4391 in their final year of enrollment. ITEC 4391 addresses key concepts and skills relevant to the field of design. Each semester interns will be evaluated by their internship supervisor and by their faculty supervisor on a faculty-developed rating scale.
Criterion
80% Meeting Expectations
There will be a general consensus among ITEC Faculty members who review both university and internship supervisor assessments that at least 80% of the students enrolled in ITED 4391 demonstrated an above average level of performance on the rating scales.
Finding
Internship Performance
Design is a smaller degree program with student numbers and only a few students were on internship during the assessment period. Overall, supervisors review students of having acceptable skill levels and knowledge. Supervisors state students were employable.
