Assessment is based on the following criteria:
- Student Evaluation by Company Supervisor (SE)
- IE399/IE499 Summer Training Report (STR)
- Format and Style of the Report (FSR)
- Oral Presentation (OP)
- ENG 399/499 Component
Grading:
Students who receive at least a score of 3 from each of Questions 1.a, 1.b, and 1.c of SE complete their summer training successfully. Students who fail to do so are considered as “Unsuccessful by SE” and receive F letter grade at the end of the semester. Such students are not required to submit a report or make oral presentations. Students who are “Successful by SE” are eligible to submit their summer training report and make an oral presentation of their summer training experience.
Students will receive 20% of their grade based on their ENG 399/499 performances. The remaining 80% of their grade (i.e. department grade) will be determined by the faculty members at the Department of Industrial Engineering.
The department grade for a student will be set based on the evaluation of STR and OP. STR and OP are marked out of 100 according to the pre-specified guidelines 70% of the STR grade and 30% of the OP grade constitute the department grade. STR of each student will also be evaluated based on its format and style. A student who fails to receive at least 3 points from the format and style rubric are considered as “Unsuccessful by FSR” and receives F letter grade regardless of the grade that s/he receives from STR and OP.
