Part 2: Program Summary

Provide a high level review of the program to include highlights, successes, challenges, significant changes, and significant resources needed to support the program
We had a successful year graduating 13 more computer programmers. We found opportunities to improve the program in the areas of debugging and understanding how to pass data between graphical user interface forms. All other areas were accomplished satisfactorily between 85% and 100%. We look forward to another successful year in 2022-2023.

Part 3: Data Review

	2019-2020	2020-2021	2021-2022
Annual number of graduate awards is greater than 10	12	3	13
Number of declared majors	164	161	172
Average Class Size	22.2	21.4	19.5
Annual Average Class withdrawal rate is 30% or below (SAGE 35%)	13%	11%	11%
Annual C-Pass rate for coursework is 60% or above	75%	71%	70%
Average class fill rate at 60% or above capacity within a term or over a year	76%	77%	70%
Graduate Transfer to 4-year Schools	17%	n/a	n/a
Full-time Faculty Coverage by Section	57%	65%	23%

Summarize how your program met or did not meet the target measures based on the data above
We exceeded the Average Class fill rate this year once again with 70%. The retention rate of 89% also exceeded our goal of 70%. The C-Pass rate of 70% exceeded the requirement of 60%. The annual number of graduates this year was 13 which is higher than 10.

Part 4: Program Learning Outcome Analysis

Learning Outcome	Population or Course(s) Assessed	Description	Summary of Assessment Results
Class construction: Write programs that contain a programmer-written class and demonstrate its use in the C++, Java and C# languages.	Program Portfolio Demonstration	Capstone Project	87%
Class inheritance, and polymorphism: Write a program that contains a programmer-written class structure including a parent class and at least two children classes. The program must demonstrate polymorphism.	Program Portfolio Demonstration	Capstone Project	89%
Database manipulation and Web Application: Write a program that demonstrates the ability to connect to and manipulate a SQL database.	Program Portfolio Demonstration	Capstone Project	89%
Debugging: Demonstrate the use of a debugging tool in at least two Integrated Development Environments, with at least two languages.	Test given as a part of the Capstone Class	Test or Quiz	67%
Graphical User Interface and Technical documentation: Write a program that contains a Graphical User Interface that includes event handling components. These components must include components such as menus, dialog boxes, sliders, buttons, and spinners. Tooltips must be on all components, where relevant. The program must contain a help section or additional documentation for the user.	Program Portfolio Demonstration	Capstone Project	77%
Linux: Students will demonstrate how to install, configure, create user accounts, issue correct commands and options, and perform standard network administration.	Course-wide evaluation using a Linux Project measured using a common rubric.		This is no longer a program learning outcome.
Web research: Use a search engine, such as “Google”, to find information on classes or functions that are needed in a program. This web research includes finding the appropriate class/function, its documentation, and implementing the code in a program.	Program Portfolio Demonstration	Capstone Project	88%

Interpretation of Assessment findings
Class construction was satisfactory at 87%. Class inheritance was satisfactory at 89%. Database Manipulation was satisfactory at 89% Debugging was 67%. This continues to be our most challenging area. We will continue to provide as much practice as possible in debugging, A graphical User Interface score of 77% is low. Mostly attributed to students having difficulty explaining how data is passed between parent and child forms. Recommendation: Add more elaboration on the concept when teaching this. The research score was satisfactory at 88%.
