Course Surveys
The coverage and ability surveys and Student Survey of Instruction are aids to individual faculty
members and areas to better evaluate data in their courses and area. In every course, faculty and
students are surveyed on the coverage and student ability on specific topics each semester.
Results are tabulated for the department as a whole and for each area of specialization.
Each instructor or area is asked for a list of topics taught each semester in each course.
The faculty supplied topics are used as the basis for survey questions in each course.
Faculty were asked to rate the depth of coverage of topics in a given course and their perception of
student abilities. Ratings are on a scale from 1 (least coverage/ability) to 3 (most coverage/ability).
For each course, students are asked both to rate the coverage of topics as well as their perceived
abilities on the same one to three scale.
In filling out these surveys, faculty and students were asked to give their perception of coverage and
ability. For faculty this perception is a professional judgment gained by grading student work and
interacting with students. However due to individual interpretation of the questions, numerical
results may vary greatly between courses and instructors. The survey results should be used to
highlight possible areas of concern in courses or areas of specialization. Once these are identified
faculty are advised to view the examples of student work collected every semester to determine if an
area of concern justifies action.

| Experimental Methods |
Spring 2002 |
A survey of student satisfaction on changes in the experimental methods course. This survey was put together by IEEE students in response to student concerns over changes in the course format.
|
| Design I Survey |
Fall 2003 - Fall 2006 |
Due to the new format for ECEN4013, Senior Design I, the ECEN faculty is interested in obtaining student opinions of this course. Specifically the faculty is interested in student perception of the course content and workload.
|
| Design II Survey |
Fall 2003 - Spring 2007 |
Due to the new format for ECEN4023, Senior Design II, the ECEN faculty is interested in obtaining student opinions of this course. Specifically the faculty is interested in student perception of the course content and workload.
