2.2 Graduating Students Evaluations (Exit Survey)
Date of Surveys: May 2019 Number of Participants: 60 Attached the EE Students Survey report on Evaluating the electrical engineering program.
For the purpose of continuous improvements of the electrical engineering program, the electrical engineering graduates were asked to fill the exit survey on evaluating the electrical engineering program.
This report details the responses of electrical engineering exit survey that were completed by the electrical engineering program graduates. A total of 8 questions were answered by the graduates as summarized below. The statistical analysis also is reported with the required diagrams.The survey analysis results show that 91 % of students are satisfied with the education that they got during the program. The weighted average is 4.6, which means that the degree of satisfaction is "Very High".

At the departmental level, it was agreed that efforts towards periodic revision and improvement of the study plan, contents of courses, etc. should be sustained. This has been ongoing every semester. Moreover, currently, many laboratory equipment's have been procured and the contents of many labs offered were revised. Furthermore, employer survey results and analysis will be discussed in the fourth meeting of the College Advisory Board.
