UCSC CE Department's fulfillment of Professional Component C The professional component includes: a general education component that complements the technical content of the curriculum and is consisten with the UCSC objectives, the School of Engineering objectives, and the computer engineering objectives

These courses help fulfill this professional component:

• CE80e via Core Topics 1 through 7
• CE185 via all Core Topics

In the following section, representatives from each department talk about how their students fulfill this component, how it is monitored, and what the feedback loops are.

• The CE department's monitoring and feedback (as written by Roberto Manduchi)
  The CE department doesn't measure this outcome directly. This outcome is fulfilled largely by the graduation requirements including the general education requirements at UCSC, a school with a tradition of politically-aware liberal arts education.

  Each student is required to fulfill American History and Institutions requirements, take topical courses from three different majors that explain how the major impacts society, take two different introduction to social sciences courses, two different introductions to the natural sciences courses, and two different introductions to the humanities coruses. They must also take a course that centers on Ethnic studies or Third-World relations and an Art course.

  In addition to campus general education requirements, the CE program requires an ethics course (either CE80e or another approved ethics course). Students must earn grades of C or better to receive credit for campus general education requirements. We depend on UCSC as a whole to evaluate this outcome. For long-term feedback, there are several questions on the alumni survey that address students' views of this issue at a distance.

• The EE department's monitoring and feedback (as written by Holger Schmidt)
  The EE department doesn't measure this component directly or has any feedback loops other than the grades obtained in general education classes. We depend on UCSC as a whole to evaluate this component.
