AC-2: Learning Outcomes

Research-based inquiry is an institutional learning goal. Combined with Ethical Conduct and Sustainability (two other institutional learning goals), students are driven to develop sustainable and ethical solutions to real world problems.

Recently, NJIT launched a process for systematically revising and refining the mission statements, program goals, and student learning outcomes of all internally assessed (not externally accredited) academic programs. As part of this process, programs will map their revised student learning outcomes to the Institutional Learning Goals, which of course includes sustainability. The goal is to have every program have at least one student learning outcome aligned to each of the Institutional Learning Goals. Therefore, if it works out as designed, every single program will have some aspect of sustainability as an assessed student learning outcome at the end of the process.

The Office of Institutional Effectiveness has records of the graduates for NJIT's six colleges for each fiscal year. The data above is from FY2021. Out of the six colleges, the four that had the courses from NJIT's sustainability course list were filtered out. For each college, the degree programs in each department were reviewed to confirm whether the learning outcomes were sustainability-focused or sustainability-supportive. The results of this review eliminated one college out of the four. The number of graduates from the final three colleges - College of Science and Liberal Arts, Hillier College of Architecture and Design, and Newark College of Engineering (all of which had degree programs that require an understanding of the concept of sustainability) were then provided by The Office of Institutional Effectiveness.
