1 SJSU Annual Program Assessment Form Academic Year Department: Design Program: Industrial Design College: Humanities and the Arts Program Website: Link to Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) on program website: Not available Program Accreditation (if any): NASAD Contact Person and John McClusky Date of Report: Feb 20, 2016 Part A 1. List of Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) (PLOs should be appropriate to the degree and consider national disciplinary standards, if they exist. Each outcome should describe how students can demonstrate learning.) PLO 1. PLO 2. PLO 3. PLO 4. PLO 5. PLO 6. PLO 7. PLO 8. PLO 9. PLO 10. PLO 11. Demonstrate a functional knowledge of formal visual elements and organizing principles as they apply to the design of aesthetically pleasing and appropriate products and environments. Articulate a functional understanding of manufactured products. This includes being able to explain to others how products work, what constitutes their structural integrity, and what materials and manufacturing processes are required to produce them. Describe what makes a product useful, usable, and desirable to specific segments of the human population. Explain the design process to others. They will be able to explain how designers define problems, research pertinent issues, identify variables and requirements, conceptualize and evaluate alternatives; and test and refine solutions. Investigate, analyze, synthesize, and make design decisions based on an ecological understanding of the impact of a design. This involves reconciling the priorities and concerns of end users with those of business, society, and the environment. Demonstrate the verbal and visual abilities to develop and communicate design concepts and specifications. This includes rapid visualization, presentation drawing, three-dimensional sketch mockups, functional prototyping, and appearance model-making. Demonstrate an ability to conceptualize, develop, and communicate design concepts and specifications utilizing current 2D and 3D software and techniques Describe Industrial Design to others and place it in the context of history, business, and professional practice. Apply the concept of social civility to the design and manufacture of products and environments. Apply their knowledge of end-user psychology, ergonomics, anthropometry, and user interaction to the design of manufactured products. Employ functional knowledge of behavioral, and market research methodologies to the design of manufactured artifacts.

Planning Assessment Schedule A = When a PLO will be assessed I = When you might plan to implement changes as a result of your assessment R = When you might reassess a given PLO (when applicable) to gauge the impact of the change. AY16/17 AY17/18 AY18/19 AY19/20 AY20/21 PLO 1 A I R PLO 2 A I R PLO 3 A I PLO 4 A I PLO 5 A I R PLO 6 A I R PLO 7 A I PLO 8 A I PLO 9 A I PLO 10 A I R PLO 11 A I R 5. Student Experience a. PLOs and their relationship to ULGs will be posted on the ID program website by the end of FA17. Part B 6. Assessment Data and Results (Please briefly describe the data collected for this report (e.g., student papers, posters, presentations, portfolios, assignments, exams). The instruments used to evaluate student achievement (e.g., rubrics or other criteria) and actual data (e.g., assignment description or instructions) should be attached as appendices.) Data collected came from the annual Portfolio Project Course Final Exams (Portfolio Review) that is done in each level of course clusters (DSID 32A, DSID 123A, DSID 125A, DSID 128A). Data is still being analyzed but will be available by the next year assessment window. 7. Analysis In AY15/16 an overhaul of the methods in which the Final Exam from the Portfolio Project courses is tabulated is being implemented. By the end of AY15/16 the results of this new method will be reviewed and updated to accommodate data clarity. In each of the courses a grading Rubric for the Final Exam is being developed, with Course Learning Objectives clearly indicated and definition of grade % and

5 assessment processes. We anticipate this will allow us to do more effective data analysis, thereby more finely tuning and targeting our Assessment Planning. 8. Proposed changes and goals (if any) See #6 and #7. Part C (This table should be reviewed and updated each year, ultimately providing a cycle-long record of your efforts to improve student outcome as a result of your assessment efforts. Each row should represent a single proposed change or goal. Each proposed change should be reviewed and updated yearly so as to create a record of your department s efforts. Please add rows to the table as needed.) Proposed Changes and Goals FA15: Develop new curriculum maps for BSID and BADS/ID FA15: Developed new metrics for DSID 123A, DSID 125A, DSID 128A (upper division courses) SP16: Test new metrics in DSID 123A, DSID 125A, DSID 128A FA16: Post-graduation Evaluation & Analysis AY17/18: Revise Metrics in DSID 123A, DSID 125A, DSID 128A based on AY15/16 and AY16/17 Assessment results AY17/18: Pilot new grading rubrics and metrics in DSID: 21, 22, 31, 32, and DSID 32A (Foundation courses) AY18/19: Pilot new grading rubrics and metrics in DSID: 124, Status Update Completed in Fall New metrics piloted in SP16 and now collecting data with results. Will review fully in Fall 2016 for full implementation in SP17. Revised metrics in regards to overall grade percentages and are in process of reviewing and collecting results. Distributed new policy documents for these courses. COMPLETED FA16. A survey has been developed and will be deployed in summer The survey will capture previous year s graduates as well as this year s cohort. It will continue to be deployed each summer going forward to continue to collect this data. An initial analysis will be developed Summer 2017 followed by a more detailed analysis Summer DEPLOYED Summer 2016 Update metrics in regards to overall grade percentages, revise grading rubrics in these courses. IN PROCESS SP17 for these courses in order to maintain equal learning experience across multiple sections of courses that are taught by different faculty. Improved DSID21/DSID31 teacher collaboration and communication. Project schedule and content alignment. This effort should help students make greater connections between visualization and making within the context of the design process. for these courses in order to increase success for students,
