Students will have a strong technical foundation, i.e., students will develop and demonstrate knowledge of theoretical materials, and computational and technical skills in the areas of Computer Software Engineering Technology.
Objective
Technical Competence
Students will develop and demonstrate knowledge of technical skills, relevant to the field of computer software engieering technology.
Indicator
Capstone Project And TASO
All undergraduate Computer Software Engineering Technology students must complete COSC 4319 (Software Engineering) and COSC4349 (Professionalism and Ethics) prior to graduation. In addition, COSC4319, as a capstone course, covers the eight Student Outcomes (except the three outcomes (e), (g) and (h)) out of the eleven Student Outcomes and COSC4349 addresses the remaining three outcomes. Therefore, both the courses are selected for assessment. Additionally, TASO (Test for Assessing Student Outcomes) is implemented to quantitatively measure the eleven Student Outcomes.
Criterion
Capstone Project And TASO
To perform a quantitative assessment, the following rubrics for the two courses are developed: (1) rubric for Project, (2) rubric for presentation evaluation, (3) rubric for group member evaluation, and (4) rubric for ethics topics. For COSC4319, faculty members observe students’ project presentation and directly evaluate students’ performance based upon the rubrics (1)-(3). One the other hand, for COSC4349, students’ performance is indirectly evaluated through the exam questions that address rubric (4). Each category is rated with the following scale values: (1) 1.0 (below expectations or unacceptable), (2) 2.0 (evolving or developing), (3) proficient (or competent), and (4) outstanding (or exemplary). Student’s performance on Student Outcomes is directly evaluated with each specific rubric, while the performance on objectives is indirectly measured by mapping between Student Outcomes and Program Objectives.

Goal
Ethical Principles And Management Skills
To develop students’ knowledge of ethical principles, technical skills, and management skills relevant to the field of computer software Engineering Technology.
Objective
Ethical Principles And Management Skills
Students will develop and demonstrate an understanding of the ethic considerations and management principles relevant to the field of Computer Software Engineering Technology.
Indicator
TASO
All undergraduate Computer Software Engineering Technology students must complete COSC4349 (Professionalism and Ethics) prior to graduation. COSC4349 addresses three of the eleven identified student outcomes. . Additionally, TASO (Test for Assessing Student Outcomes) is implemented to quantitatively measure these Student Outcomes.
