Comments/Issues to Address in Table

 

            All annual metrics included in the original SCSU proposal have been met or exceeded except for the enrollment in non-MSET classes which are impacted by the project.  The reason for this is: (1) the new lab exercises for the courses were not ready during the summer 2000 session, hence an entire group was not impacted even though they were included in the original projections; (2) due to a change in the curriculum for non-MSET majors, there will be far fewer students taking PSC 152 & 153 (lecture and lab) than in the past; and  (3) the PSC 152, lecture course in Earth/Space Science, has not  implemented new space science resources.  This needs to be rectified in the future.  It is anticipated that once all PSC 152 & 153 sections are using new space science resources that the annual totals will increase, however the four-year goals can no longer be met due to the curriculum change noted.  This metric will have to be reevaluated.
