Assessment Program:
Two methods of assessment shall be employed. These are the Exit Examination and the Graduate Employees Survey.
With the exception of the Pre-Engineering program, exit examinations shall be given to all graduating students. The exit examinations shall be prepared to reflect the major courses of the programs. Exit examinations of these programs shall be reviewed every two years to reflect new courses developed and offered.
Reports and surveys from employers of graduates will be collected and analyzed at the end of each academic year. The survey shall be prepared to quantitatively assess student’s knowledge and training.
Data collected from the exit exam and internship survey will be analyzed by faculty to identify areas of strength and weakness, to plan changes and modifications as to training needs and to assess the trend of the profession as a whole.
As per the two+two articulation agreement between Lincoln University and University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR) and University of Missouri-Columbia (UMC), graduates of the Pre-Engineering program transfer to these schools to complete their B.S. degree in their respective engineering fields. Therefore, the success of Lincoln University students who transfer to complete their degrees (Engineering Design Phase) to other engineering schools is a quantitative measure of the students outcome as well as the qualitative measure of the pre-engineering program. To that end, Lincoln has been requesting yearly reports from these schools as to the status of the transfer students. Yearly reports of each student’s GPA, as well as success rates and duration each of student’s stay at these schools are received yearly. This will be continued and data collected shall be used as an assessment tool.
Computer Skills Requirement:
CS 103 is required for all majors.
