Using the FE Exam for Effective Outcomes Assessment and Course Improvement

This session highlights best practices in outcomes assessment using the NCEES Subject Matter Reports to provide you with information about the strengths and weaknesses of students in your program.

The same results can be used to help you improve your individual classes. Information packets will be provided.
