I got email from the faculty committee who is responsible for gathering information in preparation for a visit by the accreditation people to see if we are still worth a ****. Please take a few minutes and complete the survey. It is important and should be taken seriously. The guts of the email message I received from the committee is reproduced below. We now have the web-based tool up and running to survey the Program Outcomes for our undergraduate courses. This is part of the work we are doing to get ready for our ABET review. The Program Outcomes on the survey are specific to each course, and based on the data you and the other instructors provided us. Please ask your EE 306 students to do the survey. All they have to do is go to this website: http://www.ece.utexas.edu/ABET/ and enter the unique number for the course, and click submit. Then they do the survey. Thanks, and good luck with the last programming assignment and the final exam. For those who really dig this stuff, I look forward to seeing you two years from now in 360N. For all of you, AFTER finals are over, please take time to relax for a few weeks. It WILL start again on January 13. Yale Patt
