Mission and Program Educational Objectives: Consistency in Design and<br />
Direction<br />
<strong>SECCM</strong> Program Objectives<br />
The objectives of the Engineering, Computer Science and Construction Management programs are<br />
consistent with the <strong>University</strong> mission and goals due to the well-developed planning paradigm. This<br />
planning paradigm demonstrates flexibility and agility with which each of the three <strong>SECCM</strong> programs<br />
approaches the many processes involved in defining their respective missions and educational objectives.<br />
For planning purposes, some units opt for retreats, others hire planning facilitators, and still others heavily<br />
involve industrial advisory boards in defining the strategic plan for the unit or program. Regardless of how a<br />
<strong>SECCM</strong> program defines its strategic direction and thus objectives and outcomes, the ongoing involvement<br />
of constituents is a key element in the determination of the mission, objectives, goals, outcomes and tactical<br />
plans. Furthermore, as discussed in under the section, “Significant Constituencies of the Program”,<br />
constituents play a major role in assisting each program with determining the specific program outcomes<br />
and objectives that are monitored, measured, and refined by our assessment plan.<br />
Program educational objectives for each <strong>SECCM</strong> program map closely to both the <strong>SECCM</strong> goals and the<br />
<strong>University</strong>'s Core Values and Goals. Due to the administrative attention directed to the strategic planning<br />
process, this consistency in association is expected. Figure 1.1 shows a graphic of the interrelationship<br />
between <strong>University</strong>, <strong>SECCM</strong> and program goals, objectives and outcomes.<br />
