The program constituents are those who employ our graduates.
These are
• Private industry
• Public agencies
• University graduate programs
• Self-employed entrepreneurial alumni
The Advisory
Board includes alumni so they represent now-informed (former)
student interests.
Undergraduate students in the BS Metallurgical Engineering
program are considered a special constituency group in the
area of providing direct feedback on the quality of the classroom
and laboratory instruction for required and elective courses
in the program. They do not have sufficient experience or
knowledge to be considered a constituency group for evaluation
and revision
of PEOs. Each academic semester these students have opportunity
to provide feedback into the program in the form of the student
opinion surveys (SOS) that are mandatory for every class
taught every semester by Assistant and Associate Professors and
once
every three years for Full Professors. These data are collected
and maintained by the department head and are discussed with
individual faculty each semester the SOS are completed. SOS
constitute substantial portions of the individual faculty
members promotion and tenure review process, as well as providing
information
on areas to adjust curriculum based on student expectations.
Recent graduates, having gained some perspective, are highly
valued as part of the program’s objectives and student
outcomes review process.
