Dear Colleagues, Kettering University has
provided outstanding academic programs for many decades and is committed
to continuing this legacy. To
ensure that its programs remain current, relevant and cohesive, Kettering
University wholeheartedly embraces the concept of student outcomes
assessment. Student outcomes
assessment will guarantee that Kettering programs remain at the forefront
of educational programs in a rapidly changing academic environment. This website has been
prepared to provide easy access to Kettering University assessment plans
and results for Kettering faculty and staff, accrediting agency evaluators
and interested colleagues from other institutions.
It is impossible to put everything that is done relative to
assessment by all faculty and staff on a website.
But I believe that this site presents the core of what Kettering is
doing to ensure that its graduates achieve the expected outcomes and
objectives. It also shows how the
results of the assessment process are used to make improvements in
Kettering courses and curricula. Every department and
degree-granting group is represented on this website.
Program educational objectives and program outcomes are clearly
stated and linkages between them are shown.
Course information is given, including the relationship of course
learning objectives to program outcomes. All
assessment tools are described. Constituencies
are clearly identified. The
cornerstone of this method of reporting assessment results in the
five-column format, which includes statements of mission and educational
objectives, program outcomes, assessment methods and standards, assessment
results, and lastly, how the results are used to improve programs. I wish to thank Dr. Matthew Sanders, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering, for preparing this website. If you have any questions or comments for improving the website, please submit them to Dr. James Luxon at jluxon@kettering.edu. Sincerely, John D. Lorenz, Ph.D., Vice President for Academic Affairs & Provost |
