1) List your program's student learning outcomes (SLOs).
The graduate program in Ocean and Resources Engineering channels the students’ previous education and work experience to ocean-related engineering careers. Students upon graduating from the program will have:
1. A broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context;
2. An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and basic engineering topics that include statics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, and probability and statistics;
3. Proficiency in the core program that comprises hydrostatics, oceanography, water waves, fluid-structure interaction, underwater acoustics, laboratory and at-sea experience;
4. Working knowledge of at least one of the three option areas that include coastal, offshore, and ocean resources engineering;
5. An ability to use the techniques, skills, and latest engineering tools necessary for ocean and resources engineering practice;
6. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve ocean and resources engineering problems;
7. An ability to design and optimize engineering systems to meet the needs of the marine community;
8. An ability to work independently and function on multi-disciplinary teams;
9. An appreciation of professional and ethical responsibilities;
10. An ability to communicate effectively to technical and non-technical audiences;
11. An awareness of the latest research and contemporary issues in and beyond the marine community, and;
12. Recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning and continuing professional development.

100%5) State the SLO(s) that was Assessed, Targeted, or Studied
All.
6) State the Assessment Question(s) and/or Goal(s) of Assessment Activity
Are the SLOs being met, as this is required for ABET accreditation.
7) State the Type(s) of Evidence Gathered
Surveys, theses, reports.
8) State How the Evidence was Interpreted, Evaluated, or Analyzed
Analyzed statistically, results presented to ABET.
9) State How Many Pieces of Evidence Were Collected
Half-a-dozen. Report attached.
10) Summarize the Actual Results
SLOs are being met.
11) Briefly Describe the Distribution and Discussion of Results
Results were published in the ABET report. Discussed at faculty meetings.
12) Describe Conclusions and Discoveries
SLOs are being met, measuring process is good. We are continuing with our published assessment process.
13) Use of Results/Program Modifications: State How the Program Used the Results --or-- Explain Planned Use of Results
Courses are continually updated. Specific updates are provided in the attached ABET report.
14) Reflect on the Assessment Process
Simplify the process. Use much less valuable faculty time.
