Annual Program Report, July, 2019. Page 66 Whole Program Analysis of KPIs and Benchmarks: (list strengths and recommendations)
Strengths:
• The proportion of graduates who within six months of graduation are employed is indicates that graduates of EE program are employed without difficulties.
• Course completion rate shows good achievement.
• Student evaluations of courses have been conducted for all courses during the year.
• Course reports have been conducted by the departments for all course.
• The ratio of students to teaching staff is maintained at very good level.
Recommendations:
• To get significant feedback from students, EE program should encourage them to do surveys in order to be able to evaluate the services provided to students such as academic and career counselling, library services, etc...
• Encourage teaching and other staff to be actively engaged in community service activities
• Based on the ratio of students to administrative staff, more administrative staff is required for the program to guarantee adequacy of the services provided to students.
NOTE The following definitions are provided to guide the completion of the above table for Program KPI and Assessment.
KPI refers to the key performance indicators the program used in its SSRP. This includes both the NCAAA suggested KPIs chosen and all additional KPIs determined by the program (including 50% of the NCAAA suggested KPIs and all others).
Target Benchmark refers to the anticipated or desired outcome (goal or aim) for each KPI.
Actual Benchmark refers to the actual outcome determined when the KPI is measured or calculated.
Internal Benchmarks refer to comparable benchmarks (actual findings) from inside the program (like data results from previous years or data results from other departments within the same college).
External Benchmarks refer to comparable benchmarks (actual findings) from similar programs that are outside the program (like from similar programs that are national or international).
KPI Analysis refers to a comparison and contrast of the benchmarks to determine strengths and recommendations for improvement.
New Target Benchmark refers to the establishment of a new anticipated or desired outcome for the KPI that is based on the KPI analysis.
