ECE Survey for First, Second, and Third Year Students
2002

Dear ECE Student,

For the past several years, the ECE department has performed an annual senior survey. We would like to extend this survey to other students to provide them an opportunity to give us feedback. The most important use of this information is to help us improve our programs, but it will also be a key part of our external accreditation process, in which reviewers assess how well WPI's programs are preparing students for careers and for lifelong learning.

Please complete the following survey here or on paper (either by using the paperwork mailed to your or printing out a PDF file at http://www.ece.wpi.edu/resources/abet/SURVEYS/ugsurvey02.pdf) and return it to the ECE Department Office in person or by campus mail (just fold, write "ECE department" and drop in campus mail).Thank you in advance for helping us to assess and improve our program!

NOTE: If you are a senior, do not fill out this survey; instead, go to the department office and ask for a senior survey.

Profs. John A. Orr and Denise Nicoletti

Your responses will be taken seriously and kept anonymous.
