Energy Engineering Assessment Results

• Mission Statement

  “We transform lives and communities by educating students of all identities and backgrounds. We nurture student success through a supportive environment, individualized pathways, meaningful personal connections with faculty and staff, teaching and experiential learning, research, and civic engagement.”
  
  There are three Core Themes:

  • Access: The access core theme reflects WSU’s commitment to providing an affordable, quality education to communities with significant socioeconomic and cultural differences.
  • Learning: The learning core theme is central to WSU’s mission to provide transformative educational experiences and its commitment to support student success at every stage of the student life cycle.
  • Community: The community core theme reflects WSU’s role as an educational, cultural and economic steward for the region.

  • Bachelor's Degree

    Graduates of the WSU Energy Engineering Program will have:

    • 1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
    • 2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
    • 3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
    • 4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
    • 5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
    • 6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
    • 7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

   

• Curriculum Grid
  For each course in the curriculum, a level of applicability for each student outcome was assigned. The levels of applicability are low, medium and high. The curriculum grid is the matrix of courses and student outcomes. Only the student outcomes that ranked high (H) in the matrix were assigned a performance indicator (PI) in the course rubric. Levels of applicability were assigned to courses outside the EEN program as well, but none of them ranked higher than medium, so they were not connected to a PI and are therefore not shown in the grid.
