Although this was a good outcome, not as many students ashoped persisted to complete these certificates. Most likelystudents gained adequate competency to meet theirimmediate goals and left prior to earning certificates.

The student population was different with not as manydisplaced workers/students enrolled. Those students werevery interested in completing certificates. Thus, the focusof the ABE computer students may have been less onearning a certificate. (10/21/2013)

Criteria for Success: Students willimprove at least two reading levels.

Use of Results : Collecting a biggersample of students may result ingreater gains. There were morestudents who could have beenpost-tested, but with an open-entry/open-exit lab setting, this isoften challenging. However, amore focused effort on post-testing students who areremediating in reading, writingand math should be a priority.

Faculty also believe that readinglevels will increase withvocabulary included into studyplans and class lessons. This issomething that can be easily donewith independent study studentsbecause there are alreadymodules formulated that focus onvocabulary building. And facultyhave begun to integrate morevocabulary in all classes, includingmath, computer literacy, andwriting classes. More vocabularylessons can also be created thatare contextual and relate directlyto the coursework for the ASVAB,GED, etc. Faculty should refer tothe common core standards when

Summary of Data Collection Period: 2012-13Summary of Data Type: Criterion Not MetThirty-one students enrolled in the ABE lab took the readingpost-test in the fall semester. The overall grade level gainwas 1.56 which is approximately 1 and 1/2 grade levels.

This gain was less than expected, although still a gain. ABEstudents are often transient, so their attendance can besporadic. This will affect how fast they make a gain inreading levels. Additionally, other factors affecting theoverall reading level was the population of students withlimited English skills and special needs. Their gains may beslower than other students. These students, however, werepart of the group assessed that resulted in an overall gain.

Reasons that there was a gain, although small, was due tofaculty's new effort to increase vocabulary in all subjectsoffered in the lab. Students are assigned more vocabularylessons and given more practice in class sessions.

Although the gain is smaller than expected, the gain is still apositive outcome. This is especially true due to the needs ofABE students. (02/18/2013)

Criteria for Success: 70% of studentswill answer 7 of 10 questionscorrectly on a department-developed assessment to beadministered by course faculty.

Summary of Data Collection Period: 2011-12Summary of Data Type: Criterion MetThe department has expanded its assessment efforts of thistopic in 2011/2012 in an effort to document students'critical thinking efforts as they pertain to the concept ofimpedance. In addition to performing numericalcalculations, students are now explicitly required to identifythe relevant circuit parameters and phase angles associatedwith the mathematical results. The question has been askedin a slightly modified form in four sections of the courseheld over two semesters. In all sections, students wereasked to label waveforms and identify specifically thewaveforms to which the calculated phase angle applied. Inone section, students were also asked to provide a writtenrationale for their choices. Results are broken out bysection: Section 1: Correctly labeled 3 waveforms: 8/15(53.3%); correctly calculated phase angle: 11.5/15 (76.7%);correctly associated phase angle with waveforms: 3.5/15(23.3%). Section 2: Correctly labeled 3 waveforms: 10.5/18(58.3%); correctly calculated phase angle: 10/18 (55.6%);correctly associated phase angle with waveforms: 4.5/15(25.0%).

Summary of Data Collection Period: 2014-15Summary of Data Type: Criterion MetThis assessment was first conducted in the form of an essayquestion asked during the final examination for Electronics55, Microwave Communications. ELEC 55 was selectedbecause it comes closest to being a capstone course (thedegree program has no required capstone) and becausemany of the concepts, though flowing directly from topicscovered in the electrical fundamentals courses, may appearquite abstract when initially covered, particularly tostudents who don't have a lot of practical experience withelectronic communications systems or who come to theMicrowave Communications course directly from thefundamentals courses. The question is reproduced here inits entirety:Imagine you are in a job interview. In one or twoparagraphs (at most), explain to the interviewer what youlearned in your microwave communications course.Specifically:• What were the main themes and issues covered?• Why did you spend a full semester studying topicsthat, at first glance, may seem very specialized—indeed,topics that are not even introduced in most two-yearprograms?• How would you relate what you learned in this course tothe fundamental electrical concepts you havestudied in other courses as well as to other areas ofelectronics?To encourage all students to participate, the followingexplanatory statement was appended:(Note: there is no one “right” answer to this question.

Summary of Data Collection Period: 2016-17Summary of Data Type: Criterion MetData obtained from the lab practical final exams for theidentified courses, and reported as part of those courses,show improvement in students' abilities to use test andmeasurement equipment properly. This improvement isattributed to course modifications in which students arerequired to reinforce their measurement skills in labpractical examinations that, in most cases, follow a "dryrun" of the exam material conducted prior to the actualexam.

Summary of Data Collection Period: 2014-15Summary of Data Type: Criterion MetThis assessment was first conducted in the form of an essayquestion asked during the final examination for Electronics55, Microwave Communications. ELEC 55 was selectedbecause it comes closest to being a capstone course (thedegree program has no required capstone) and becausemany of the concepts, though flowing directly from topicscovered in the electrical fundamentals courses, may appearquite abstract when initially covered, particularly tostudents who don't have a lot of practical experience withelectronic communications systems or who come to theMicrowave Communications course directly from thefundamentals courses. The question is reproduced here inits entirety:

Imagine you are in a job interview. In one or twoparagraphs (at most), explain to the interviewer what youlearned in your microwave communications course.Specifically:• What were the main themes and issues covered?• Why did you spend a full semester studying topics

Also, two of finaland particularly gratifying note:"In some ways, before takingmicrowave these devices were stillsomewhat mysterious. Now, I cansee that magic plays no part to theoperation of electroniccomponents." And, "Slowly, thepieces of the puzzle are comingtogether.

that, at first glance, may seem very specialized—indeed,topics that are not even introduced in most two-yearprograms?• How would you relate what you learned in thiscourse to the fundamental electrical concepts you havestudied in other courses as well as to other areas ofelectronics?

To encourage all students to participate, the followingexplanatory statement was appended:

Youwill receive full credit if you attempt to answer, thoroughlyand honestly, here in writing each part of the questionasked in the same way you would answer it if aninterviewer asked you to explain verbally to him or herwhat you got out of your education. This is your chance toreflect on and to articulate why you are doing what you aredoing during your time here at Mt. SAC.)

For Spring 2015 (23 students submitted final exam): Allstudents provided written responses. The significantissues/problems and overall narrative of the course can besummarized in four overarching categories: (1) impedancematching; (2) use of Smith charts to solve impedancematching problems and to determine VSWR, reflectioncoefficient, and the like; (3) maximum power transfer, and(4) problems made more difficult because of high-frequencyeffects. For this purpose, answers were reviewed todetermine if students made specific mention (in so manywords) of each of these issues. In many cases, significancewas implied but not stated explicitly, but in the interest ofconsistency, only declared responses in each category wereconsidered below:(1) Impedance matching: 18/23: 78.2%(2) VSWR, etc./Smith: 12/23: 52%(3) Max power transfer (identified specifically by namerather than implied): 6/23: 26%(4) Issues and problems arising at high frequencies: 10/23:43.4%

Schedule: Ongoing


Program Outcomes Assessment Methods Summary of Data Use of ResultsAll 23 students taking the final attempted to relate thetopics studied in ELEC 55 to fundamental electricalconcepts, and 21 of 23 made comments that identified thespecific topics involved (impedance matching/maximumpower transfer/complex impedance).

Criteria for Success: Completeanswer to question has four parts:(1) Identify problem to be solved asbeing one of impedance matching;(2) describe how the stub tunerworks--words to the effect of "lookslike a matched load to the source";

Use of Results : This question isone of several that will be used aspart of the larger program-leveloutcomes throughout the entireprogram pertaining to higher-levelthought. Future entries will beincluded under that label; hencethis assessment will be closedunder this heading. (06/29/2015)

Summary of Data Collection Period: 2014-15Summary of Data Type: Criterion Not Met18 of 23 students identified the problem as one ofimpedance matching; 14 students identified in some wayhow the tuner works (by stating that the tuner looks like amatched load); 9 students identified the relevant point asbeing one of pure susceptance; and 9 students specificallyidentified the point as being one of equal but oppositesusceptance. Four students did not attempt to answer thequestion. (06/29/2015)

Use of Results : Course-levelassessment of this problem(reported elsewhere) shows thatstudents are capable of followingthe steps necessary to create thestub tuner, but this program levelSLO reveals that abstracting theconcrete steps to the moregeneral question of how thedevice works remains a challenge.Abstracting further to recognizethat this is one of many ways tomatch a source to a complex load(a recurring problem inelectronics) must be emphasizedrepeatedly, something that is notadequately addressed inlaboratory materials or withexisting equipment. Among theissues to be addressed: (1)instructor must reinforce thereciprocal nature of impedanceand admittance, of reactance andsusceptance, and of resistance

Summary of Data Collection Period: 2009-10Summary of Data Type: Criterion Not Met70.8% of students correctly identified problem (part 1);58.3% of students provided a description of how the stubtuner works (part 2); 12.5% of students correctly recognizedthat the stub tuner is functioning as a point of equal butopposite susceptance (parts 3 and 4).

and conductance. (2) Labmaterials need to be enhancedand revised to emphasize that apractical solution to the problemof mismatched sources and loadsat microwave frequencies involvestreating parallel impedances asseries admittance (theirreciprocals) because of thepractical difficulties involved withadding impedances in parallel;and (3) the utility of the Smithchart lies largely in taking thecomplex (i.e. real and imaginary)mathematics of impedances andgraphically allowing one to findrelevant admittances andsusceptances with ease. At leastone laboratory assignment needsto be added to the curriculum thatmakes use of a vector networkanalyzer to show students howpractical test equipment makesuse of Smith chart notation todisplay measurements of compleximpedance. With such anexperiment, instructors canemphasize the more generalnature of the type of problembeing solved. (06/15/2010)
