1. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Agenda 12:00-1:00 Lunch ABET Overview 1:00-1:45 Objectives and Survey Data 1:45-2:15 Break / Tours 2:15-3:00 Outcome Data - Issues 3:00-3:45 Undergrad Retention 3:45-4:00 Break 4:00-5:00 Open discussion with students leaders

2. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Number of Students Undergrad enrollment slow decline - seems to have bottomed

3. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Status - Last Year Before Cuts In 2006-2007 Budget Year –$6.3M in Faculty salary and fringe (net +2 faculty since then) –$1.6M in Staff salary and fringe (-2 staff since then) –$1.3M in student support (Alumni’s were $400k) –$400k in expenses Not showing $170k in OCO - gone from budget permanently

4. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Changes - Already Implemented Already done: Income - Equipment Usage fee ~ $60k –Undergrad lab charge for depreciation MAE has dropped 3303L requirement ~ $50k to $90k Loss of two staff without replacement ~ $80k Lab Ops in NEB Computing Lab ~ $30k Lecturer Leaving ~ $80k That’s just almost half-way

5. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Possible Other Cuts GA program - $210k in 06/07 Require more labs from TA’s ~ $100k Eliminate graders (buy-out based?) ~ $60k Eliminate some labs / courses? Increase buy-out from faculty for academic year teaching? Other Staffing Possibilities Centralization –Shared Support Offices among several departments –Central Support for Networking Decentralization –May have to pick up services college used to provide Ask faculty to pay more directly for services

6. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering ABET 2000 Methodology of Evaluation - rather than credit counting Outcomes assessment –Faculty Review of Performance –Survey Students –Survey Recruiters / Alums –Panels for targeted feedback Show coupling of assessment to curriculum renewal and overhaul Verify that students meet nationally recognized criteria

7. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering ABET Definitions Objectives –Broad Statements –Goals for students 5 years after graduation –Measured by surveys / focus groups Outcomes –Specific skills –Measured at graduation time –Direct measurement (not grades or surveys)

8. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering ABET Schedule NGR in 2006 –Best possible result –Clean sheet - no issues at all Next visit 2012 –Must continue to run processes until then
