This committee of faculty and administrators, having major responsibilities for assessment at WATC, serves to ensure that assessment of student learning is appropriately conceptualized and effectively implemented.
Committee membership includes faculty from the following divisions:
- Health Sciences (3)
- Transportation and Construction (1)
- Manufacturing (1)
- Aerospace (1)
- General Education (1)
- Academic Success (1)
- Administrative Ex-Officio Members (2): director, Institutional Effectiveness, and vice president, Academic Affairs
Historically, the theory and literature have consistently maintained that assessment should be faculty driven; however, it is the administration that is held finally accountable by boards and accrediting agencies for successful assessment implementation. At WATC, the Educational Affairs Committee reflects the cooperative nature of the faculty-administration assessment enterprise.
