PSLO Assessment Report Summary

What we looked at:

The Electronic Engineering Technology certificate assessment focused on PSLOs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Listed below are the results for each of the PSLOs.

What we found:

• PSLO 1: Practice Safety and occupational health procedures in the workplace.

  VEE 224:	Total number of students:	11
  	Total number of students who got "C" or higher:	10
  	Total number of students who failed	01

• PSLO 2: Use electronic tools and test equipment competently.

  VEE 224:	Total number of students:	14
  	Total number of students who got "C" or higher:	14

• PSLO 3: Interpret schematic diagrams and waveforms.

  VEE 240:	Total number of students:	15
  	Total number of students who got "C" or higher:	15

• PSLO 4: Build electronic projects to a given specification.

  VEE 110:	Total number of students:	14
  	Total number of students who got "C" or higher:	13
  	Total number of students who failed	01

• PSLO 5: Perform troubleshooting techniques to maintain and resolve hardware/software related problems in a personal computer system.

  VEE 223:	Total number of students:	29
  Activity 1:	Disassemble and assemble of PC system (PC Assembly)
  	Total number of students who "exemplary"	15
  	Total number of students who "developing"	10
  	Total number of students who "unacceptable"	04
  Activity 2:	OS (XP Pro & Windows 7 Pro) installation and system drivers (OS Install)
  	Total number of students who "exemplary"	15
  	Total number of students who "developing"	10
  	Total number of students who "unacceptable"	04
  Activity 3:	Hardware & Software maintenance tasks (PC Maintenance)
  	Total number of students who "exemplary"	05
  	Total number of students who "developing"	15
  	Total number of students who "unacceptable"	09

  	Total number of students who "exemplary"	05
  	Total number of students who "developing"	20
  	Total number of students who "unacceptable"	04

• PSLO 6: Perform troubleshooting techniques to maintain, diagnose, and repair electronic equipment and devices.

  VEE 224:	Total number of students:	11
  	Total number of students who got "C" or higher:	10
  	Total number of students who failed	01
  VEE 225:	Total number of students:	13
  	Total number of students who got "C" or higher:	12
  	Total number of students who failed	01

What we are planning to work on:

• Increase more time for the students to become more competent in using electronic test equipment and signal generators.
• Intensify more activity in checking and testing of passive and active electronics components to increase the level of competency of the students in troubleshooting.
• Develop additional activities to meet the technician competency in repairing personal computers, tablets and laptops.
• Must include LCD and LED TV technology on the course outline of VEE 224 to keep abreast on fast changing technology.
• Include programming activity of cash register with bar code scanner in VEE225.

Recommendations for students:

• Follow written and oral direction
• Write correct grammatical sentences
• Be confident in using English when doing project presentation
• Know the basic mathematics foundation prior in taking the program

Through these the student have a significant advantage to meet the course work in AAS electronics technology technical courses and every course prerequisite of each course in the program to assure program completion in two years.
