Title: Science/Engineering Education Division assessment activities: An overview

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5263710

The evaluation and assessment projects are an important function of the Science/Engineering Education Division (SEED) employment and education program assessment activities. This document summarizes the assessment and program evaluation activities undertaken by the Science/Engineering Education Division in FY 1990. The objectives of SEED's evaluation and assessment activities are to provide quantitative measures of the impact of program on participants; assess programmatic achievements; provide valuable information for continued program operation; ensure that the programs meet their objectives; develop and maintain data bases on scientific and engineering employment and education; provide information about trends in employment and education for energy-related scientists and engineers; provide assessment and analyses of energy-related science and engineering employment requirements, future labor market trends, adequacy of supply of new graduates, and implications for education programs. The results of an evaluation can be useful to justify continuation of existing programs and initiation of new programs. Whenever possible, data are collected to be consistent with information obtained by other national surveys to facilitate comparisons to national norms.
