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 7 more computer programmers. We 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 90% and 100%. We look forward to another successful year in 2023-2024.

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 71% exceeded the requirement of 60%. The annual number of graduates this year was 8, we need to increase the number of students entering this field.

Part 4: Program Learning Outcome Analysis

Learning OutcomePopulation or Course(s) AssessedDescriptionSummary 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
    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
      Database manipulation and Web Application: Write a program that demonstrates the ability to connect to and manipulate a SQL database.
      Program Portfolio Demonstration
        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
          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
            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.

              Interpretation of Assessment findings
              We exceeded the Average Class fill rate this year once again. The retention rate of 86% also exceeded our goal of 70%. The C-Pass rate of 69% exceeded the requirement of 60%. The annual number of graduates this year was 16 which is higher than 10
