GPA Information

The following data was calculated to examine the relationship between the students who took the FE Exam and the overall ECEN student body GPA.

• The calculation of the ratio of the average GPA of students who took the FE Exam to the average GPA of all students was done to show the GPA relationship between the two groups. When the ratio is less than one, this implies that the GPA average is less than that of the overall ECEN student body. When the ratio is greater than one, this implies that the FE student GPA is greater than the overall GPA of ECEN students.
• The GPA Point Difference is the the average GPA of students who took the FE Exam minus the overall ECEN student body GPA.
• The GPA % Point Difference is the decrease or increase from one.

Student Satisfaction

The following section provides three areas of information regarding student satisfaction. The three areas include senior opinions, student perception of courses, and the Electrical & Computer Engineering retention rate. Specific results regarding the previous areas can be found on the Senior Exit Survey and Course Survey pages.

Senior Exit Survey

This category within Student Satisfaction will identify the satisfaction of students as they leave the ECEN program. Eight different categories concerning the ECEN program have been consolidated to come up with an overall appraisal of the ECEN program. There are forty-one factors within the eight categories taken from the actual Senior Exit Survey that were used to measure the satisfaction of students. The rating scale ranges from one to five with one meaning Not Important, Not Prepared, or Unsatisfactory and five meaning Extremely Important, Very Well Prepared, or Excellent depending on the certain category the factor was rated. For more details please view the Senior Exit Survey page.

The following graph measures the ratings given by ECEN students regarding the coverage and ability related to course material. The averages for coverage and ability for each semester are shown. For additional information regarding coverage and ability related to course material please view the Course Survey Information page.
