POCAT Results

Background: The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) and Student Outcomes (SOs) for our BS-CSE program are available here. For convenience, we have classified the SOs into two groups. The first group, the technical group, consists of outcomes (a), (b), (c), (e), (f), (k), (l), (m), and (n). The second group, the professional group consists of the remaining outcomes. The Program Outcomes Achievement Test (POCAT) is the key direct method that we use for assessing the extent to which students have achieved the outcomes in the technical group near the time of their graduation. The full details of POCAT are available here.

POCAT is offered each quarter. Summary results of POCAT, organized by quarter, appear below. The tests from various quarters and analysis/evaluation of the results are available here (password protected).
