1P2 Program Specific Learning Objectives

Program faculty are charged by administration with developing specific program learning outcomes for their programs and courses. All programs validate their outcomes based on industry standards. Meetings with the STI Academic Administrative Team and program Advisory Committees, as well as interaction with business and industry, provide faculty with input regarding relevant and up-to-date outcomes, which are adjusted based on this input. For programs which have specialized accreditation, faculty incorporate standards from the accrediting agency.

Program outcomes are categorized under the four institutional learning outcomes. In 2000, each program completed a course matrix that documents where the outcomes are taught in the program. Matrices are published on program pages on the STInet site. Faculty periodically review and update this matrix to determine whether all outcomes are being addressed and whether the outcomes are current and appropriate.
