  • Student Wants 2009 Final
    Undergraduate Student “Wants” Concerning Their Academic Experience in the UW-Madison College of Engineering Steven Cramer Craig MacKenzie, Nicole Rybeck October 30, 2006 Brent Keller, Capri Pearson, Michelle Tutkowski October 21, 2009 Introduction In Sept. 2006 the Polygon student leadership was solicited to provide input on the top three to five changes COE students would like to see in their academic experience in COE. The stated purpose was to feed into planning within COE directed toward guiding significant changes in academic programs. The student leadership was to determine the process by which they garnered ideas but the intent was for the proposed ideas to be representative of undergraduate student thinking. In September 2009, the Differential Tuition Committee, within Polygon, was asked to determine the relevancy of the previously developed student wants which were described in the original version of this document. Process In order to receive a broad spectrum of knowledge and experience, the student leadership questioned attendees of Polygon’s October 11th 2006 General Meeting. Polygon General Meetings are comprised of representatives from recognized student organizations in the College of Engineering. This particular meeting included members from 34 different organizations within the COE1. Representatives were divided into small discussion groups of four to five students to brainstorm ideas for improvement. Whether these are termed “needs” or “wants” or exactly how to characterize the input is not relevant. This document provides a reasonable student viewpoint on transformations needed to improve and add value to their educational experience. At Polygon’s October 18th Officer Meeting the officers of the council discussed and prioritized the input gathered from the previous week.

    . old and new students return to the campus and once again embark upon a new school year. For the senior this school year holds much in promise. There are honors to be won, people to meet, Things To Do. However, the realization soon comes that he is still on the ragged edge as far as the Registrar is concerned and a little work is indicated. To present all these de- ments of senior life in the Senior Section of the flue Print has been our aim. Scattered throughout the Senior Section will be found what we called "Atmosphere shots." These pictures present the life at Tech as the senior lives it. Here will be found scenes of work and play --both essentials of a good educa- tion.

The Schools of Engineering Mechanical Textile Aeronautics Architecture The Departments of General Stud.
