Improvements To address the below average of (78%) final exam grade, the results of this assessment will be used to analyze problems students are having and work with students and give additional instructions to attain the target goal. A Lesson Plan was developed to help students in the MAC 164 class with instructional objectives for their assigned projects. In the DRF 128 (GD&T) class, the target goal was met, but a continual emphasis will be put on surface finish as a requirement in this program. Local industry has voiced a concern in this area in hiring Quality Technicians. The Course Outline (Syllabus) was revised to reflect surface finish lesson requirement.
