摘要:Like any other similar department, the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering (MME) at Queen’s University adapts the undergraduate curriculum on an ongoing basis using input from students, faculty, alumni/ae and other sources. Of particular usefulness have been alumni/ae survey results. These results have allowed priorities for curriculum changes to be set with the confidence that graduates will be well equipped to meet the demands of a changing workplace. This paper describes the results of the most recent survey. Many of the suggested changes to the curriculum have already been implemented. One of the ongoing challenges of the Department will be to repeat the survey regularly in the future, to see if the current changes made a difference in terms of employer and graduate satisfaction.
