Academic Year : 2008/2009 Program: Interior Design Undergraduate Learning Outcome 5: Students will demonstrate an understanding of contract administration and the legal and ethical business practices of interior design. Is this outcome being reexamined? Yes No If yes, give a brief summary of previous results (including trends) and any changes made to the program. Assessment Activity Outcome Measures Explain how student learning will be measured and indicate whether it is direct or indirect. Students in the undergraduate programs take 6 credit hours of ID 400: Internship. The course requires an evaluation from the employer on work skills. We use these evaluations as indirect measures of student’s skills in interior design. Performance Standard Define and explain acceptable level of student performance. Employer Evaluations, 75% of the students will receive a rating of Good or above in performance standard ratings. Data Collection Discuss the data collected and student population Analysis 1) Describe the analysis process. 2) Present the findings of the analysis including the numbers participating and deemed acceptable. 40 ID students included in analysis 37 raters 98.0% above 2.0% below Interpretation of Results 12
Academic Year : 2008/2009 Program: Interior Design Undergraduate Extent this Learning Outcome has been achieved by students (Use both direct and indirect measure results): All students successfully complete their internship and have very good evaluations from their employers. Program strengths and opportunities for improvement relative to assessment of outcome: The undergraduate students successfully complete their internships and employer evaluation ratings, overall, are rated by their supervisors in the excellent to good range. In this assessment, 2009/2010 period, 40 students were assessed. Major strengths of the students are in the area of communication skills and professional good judgment – additional comments show in increase in the area of student’s technological skills and many employers have identified this success. However, some negative comments are in the area of lacking REVIT knowledge of understanding construction documents for red-lining. In the area of Contract Administration, the internship evaluation does not successfully evaluate this outcome. It only provides a partial outcome to learning outcome 5 in that it provides some assessment to business practices. In the area of business practices, the students ratings are good to excellent. Discuss planned curricular or program improvements for this year based on assessment of outcome: • Elective course designed in advances technology information in Revit and 3-D imaging software skills. • Further strengthening of the ID 313: CAD and intro Revit that students are performing this programming efficiency in construction document and knowledge development in ID 304: Studio IV. • Assessment of contract documents and additional business practices to be done by creating an assessment tool for ID 436: Business Procedure Class. Will be assessed in 2011/2012. Means of assessing these construction document skills will be set in motion for the next assessment period -- along with looking at outcomes for the program review being implemented for CIDA Accreditation in spring 2011. 13
