8P3 Key Action Plans

Once strategic goals and objectives are determined, Administration and the AQIP Futures Team develop and prioritize them. Supportive key projects are then developed at the department and program levels. The Administrative Team sets the AQIP Action Projects and annual institutional projects with input from business and industry, faculty, and staff. Table 8.3 describes the action project timeframe. (See Table 8.4 for status on AQIP projects.)
