Program Student Learning Outcome: #2 - CET graduates will determine different parameters for a

water storage & distributions system and select the proper pumps.

Course Student Learning Outcome: #2 - Students will determine the hydrostatic pressures in fluids at different depths.

Analysis of Results: All student met or exceeded the benchmark on both formative assessments. On one of the formative assessment the bench mark was exceeded by 10 points and the summative assessment was exceeded by at least 15 points.

Strength in student performances: Students are able to calculate the hydrostatic pressures on submerged structures.

Weaknesses in student performances: In the formative stage, some students needed help with the concept of hydrostatic pressure at different angles, but with tutoring students got better grades in the summative assessment.

Recommended Action(s): The faculty will review atmospheric pressure, the concepts of hydrostatic pressure and the relationship between gage and absolute pressures prior to the test.
