Yes 13 100.00% No 0 Unk 0 NA Result 0 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes What would you change about this program? 13 100.00% 0 0 I liked the hands on experience that was gained. Also I think that the small classes that Western offers are great because the teacher to student time is awesome and very helpful. This was also a great program because it gives me a wide variety of knowledge and opens my job potential very far. I liked the labs and hands on experience that I gained from the program. It was a very personal experience. The Instructors cared about how I did, and work to help me succeed. The instructors are very helpful and have care about your success. I learned a lot in the program and think the instructors did an excellent job of getting me ready for a job in the field. the number of students was very good and easily manageable. a lot of real world hands-on learning. I enjoyed all my classes. I like that Bill Welch taught the majority of it. You should dedicate something electrical related in his honor. If you don't I think it would be serious injustice considering the Welch name at this institution. I was introduced to many aspects of electrical power systems and automated control systems The broad field of focus. Hands on learning,and I was able to see how Mechanical drives and mechanisms work. 0 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Monday, September 19, 2011 Feedback Western Wisconsin Technical College I can't think of anything, it was a great experience for me! the program was good as a whole, if powssible I would like to see a change in the general classes. Nothing I would add more printed reference material for the lab assignments in the final semester nothing More funding for larger class projects. The only thing I would Change about the program might be to add a little more in depth instuction concerning PLC programming. I would have mitch schultz instruct more classes for the benefit of the students. The man is brilliant. I liked the program just the way it was. Tech. Math, It was I killer for me, but I do understand way it was needed. I would add welding to the program. Page 1 of 4 Outcome Yes No Unk NA Result Feedback Yes Yes Yes Yes Use effective communication skills. 13 100.00% 0 0 I think I would get rid of some of the non essential classes and concentrate on the core coarses. It's much more important to get the maximum time from the instructors learning what we'll be using on our jobs. Communication is a very important skill to all jobs. learned to huse effective communication skills well. I was able to understand and give feedback. Communication skill was great. YES very good as far as the program classes, not so much in general classes. Yes, working in groups frequently forced communication. Yes. I have no problem with that area of instruction. I have learned a lot about written communications and how to deal with peers and co-workers. My experience presenting ideas to larger groups will benefit me. 0 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Apply mathematical concepts. 13 100.00% 0 0 0 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Transfer social and natural science theories into practical applications. 13 100.00% 0 0 Yes. Math is not my forte' but tech math with Todd Shaw was a terrific learning tool I'll be able to use at home and on the job. It was hard for me to start thinking about complex math, because I had been out of school for a long time. Most of my instructors were very patient and understanding. I feel like I have a better grasp on mathematical concepts. Math is used in all jobs and is essensial to electromechanical. I believe Tech Math 1 should be spilt into two semesters. And there should be a better screeing process before allowing students to take Tech Math 1. I had I very hard time with Tech. Math 1B, but I was able to retake the clas; self study in the math lab and with instructors help I was able to get through it. very good YES 0 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Demonstrate ability to think critically. Monday, September 19, 2011 13 100.00% 0 0 Yes, good teaching. All of the classes that I took mixed nicely with each other in helping me to gain a broader understanding of social principals. I really enjoyed my physics class also. Not really. Again, I think the core classes are the most important. Yes. YES some, that are relavant. Yes. All the time. YES 0 Western Wisconsin Technical College Page 2 of 4 Outcome Yes No Unk NA Result Yes Yes Yes Yes Demonstrate ability to value self and work ethically with others in a diverse population. 13 100.00% 0 0 Yes 13 100.00% 0 0 Yes Yes 13 100.00% 0 0 Yes 12 100.00% 0 0 Yes, a good asortment of tools to use. This was very well done. Things that we use in the program are up to date and nice to use. Very much so. The course is designed to give us the very latest in technology. I have learned so much about computers and networking systems. It is also exciting to learn about new advances in technology, such as wind power. 0 Yes Yes Build or assemble electromechanical hardware Sure. Yes. As diverse as our class was work should be easy! My class had a variety of ages and ethnic groups of people. I have come to respect everyone's ideas given their backgrounds and culture. Yes 0 Yes Yes Make decisions that incorporate the importance of sustainability I haven been able to review my peers work and offer suggestions and ideas through much of my work. It has helped me to look at something critically and objectively. yes. Yes, good trouble shooting exercises. oh yeah all the time. 0 Yes Yes Yes Use technology effectively. Feedback Yes. How to set up systems that will stand the test of time and be there in the future. Yes. 0 Yes Yes Yes Yes Adhere to proper safety practices and procedures 13 100.00% 0 0 Yes. We made multi meters and DC power supplies, as well as our group final project. Yes. We had several class periods relating to safety in the workplace and electrical safety. Yes. 0 Yes Troubleshoot and repair electromechanical and electronic equipment and systems 13 100.00% 0 0 0 Yes Yes Yes Monday, September 19, 2011 Western Wisconsin Technical College Yes. Yes, but I would like to have more of that, if possible. Our PC systems class helped us to design, build and put together a system, and troubleshoot any problems.

We learned different various hydraulic systems and preventative maintenance. Yes Perform preventative maintenance Could be more of this In PC applications, we learned about spreadsheets and excel applications to help with organization and documentation. just documentation Yes. 0 0 Yes Yes Modify, install, maintain, and program electronic and electromechanical systems 13 100.00% 0 0 0 Yes Yes Yes Modify, install, and maintain hydraulic and pneumatic systems. 13 100.00% 0 0 0 Yes Yes Yes Install, modify and program industrial network systems on the devices and control levels. 13 100.00% 0 0 Yes Monday, September 19, 2011 220 100.00% 0 0.00% 0 Yes, we had good classes that showed us the importance of learning these systems. Yes. I learned basic techniques for installing these systems. 0 Yes Aggregate Assessment of Achievement We learned PLC programming and setting up networking systems. With our project we were able to build a project that uses our acquired knowledge. Yes. The program for industrial networking and control systems was very informational for installing, maintaining and troubleshooting these systems. Yes. 0 Western Wisconsin Technical College Page 4 of 4
