Data SummaryThe students aggregate level of learning for the for the 6 learning outcomes from the course syllabus was 8.9/10 points

The students overall learning experience was an average of 9.1/10 points
Analysis SummaryStudents should have achieved outcome if current semester is equal or greater than learning outcome historical averages for the same class. Data indicated lower level of learning outcomes for 4 out of 6 subtopics. However, owing to the change of laboratory projects and inoperable machinery, assessment data was understandably skewed.
Next Steps PlannedNew equipment was purchased for subsequent semesters.
