Assessment

Survey to be Completed by ISU ECpE BS Degree Graduates

The goal of this survey is to assist the Iowa State University Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECpE) in evaluating its educational objectives.

These objectives, which are intended to characterize the professional attributes of an ECpE graduate 1-5 years following graduation, are posted on the department home page.

We would appreciate your taking about 10 minutes to respond to the following questions. Note that there is no request to identify yourself.

Fill out the survey.

Undergraduate Program Objectives
