81-99% 100%5) State the SLO(s) that was Assessed, Targeted, or Studied
Assessment report was never done before
6) State the Assessment Question(s) and/or Goal(s) of Assessment Activity
The primary goal of the program is to prepare students for careers in a variety of Biological Engineering fields. The assessment process is critical to ensure that the program is delivered in an optimal manner given it's limited resources.
7) State the Type(s) of Evidence Gathered
The evidence is primarily based on quality of students' thesis, refereed journal publications, oral and poster presentatations in CTAHR symposium and selection of students' research for podium presentation in international conferences.
8) State How the Evidence was Interpreted, Evaluated, or Analyzed
n/a
9) State How Many Pieces of Evidence Were Collected
n/a
10) Summarize the Actual Results
n/a
11) Briefly Describe the Distribution and Discussion of Results
