RE:                  Constituencies Follow-up Survey - Computer Science Program Objectives and Outcomes

 

 

As mandated by our accrediting bodies, the Objectives and Outcomes of all programs in our department must be assessed periodically. The purpose of this survey is to determine your degree of satisfaction with the existing Computer Science Program Objectives and Outcomes. Your input will determine if there is a need to modify or revise the existing program objectives and outcomes. As one of our constituencies, your input and assistance is very important and will be a great assistance in the assessment of our program. The information you provide will be collectively analyzed and used strictly as feedback to strengthen our program. Your input will further assist us with curricula modifications, needed/recommended changes in our program, and preparation of self-study reports for various accrediting bodies. Please complete this survey online and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks for your time, cooperation, and continued support.
