Total 127

Self evaluation of the Internship The number of trainees in the College have 127 students this year. Such trainees are placed in different 58 training sites within the UAE and abroad. Such broadening of training sites is happening due the outreach policy set by the College and to the divers population within the College. All host sites have expressed their good impression about the quality of the trainees from the University of Sharjah. That is why, potential employers of our students are always seeking potential trainees from the College.

Plans for future Enhancing Internship 1- Having Internship Fair for College of Science, organized by the college not CASTO, to increase the number of training sites and build more bridges with industry side. 2- Having Internship Day where all trainees present orally their experience with the UOS Community. 3- Diversify the academic programs offered by the College 4- More outreach plans will be implemented as stated by the College of Sciences Strategic plan- 2015-2019. 5- Working closely with our graduated and alumni to increase the potential of having more training sites opened for our students 6- Offering a pre-training or internship workshops for advisors and students. 7- Due to the large number of international students in the College, international outreach is highly advisable 8- Propose a coop-educational systems 9- Trainees are encouraged to assess their training activities and rate them.

Students' Satisfaction

Self evaluation of the Students' Satisfaction with Program's outcomes

The Department of Applied Biology, Computer Science, Chemistry, Applied Physics and Mathematics have conducted a full cycle of assessment of their educational outcomes. This is very evident because many patches of students have already graduated from such programs. From the individual data provided from such Departments, all educational outcomes have achieved the cut off value of success set by the College. Hence, all four Department are subjected to full accreditation by the Ministry of Higher education soon.

CGPA Analysis (Fall) 3.1 2.96

CGPA Analysis (Spring) soon soon soon 2.7 soon soon

However, the overall rating of instructors as been evaluated by students involved in College of Sciences courses was 4.22 out of 5, which is same like last year (4.22/5) was lower than what was achieved by the overall rating of instructors in the University (4.35/5). Moreover, the overall rating of the College of Sciences courses was 4.05/5 as compared to the overall courses offered with the University (4.26/5) and last year rate (4.10/5). Such rating is expected because most of the students enrolled the COS courses are from other Colleges and Departments in the University, were science is a supporting subject.

Plans for further Enhancing Student satisfaction with program outcomes

Make the tutorial sessions officially as a part of the instructor teaching load as well as the students learning loads without changing the credit hours of the course. The outcome of utilizing the tutorial sessions might provide suitable way for the students to improve their problem solving skills, since problem solving has vital role of the learning process and in turn enhance the students ability for analytical and critical thinking capabilities. Engage students in the department’s activity such as visiting schools and doing science for fun. Take students in scientific trips Implementing virtual teaching tools Full utilization of the power of the blackboard in teaching all courses The use of technology in teaching is a key factor in the teaching/learning process. New methodologies ought to be used in teaching whenever applicable like co-operative and self-learning, problem based learning. Full Utilization the library and the new reference books in teaching and encouraging the students to use them. The proper use of the internet and encouraging students to do so. Continuous encouragement of the students to express their ideas and to use critical thinking. Deal with real life situations in delivering knowledge for students Design exams to clearly assess the expected educational outcomes Develop new assessment tools Introduce team-base learning ( TBL) method as one of learning methods Use problem base method along with classical & TBL teaching methods Enhance students’ active participation through asking questions and encourage students to answer and to ask questions. Encourage the use of Research-based teaching methodology Make the field visits as part of the course activities when applicable Faculty analysis Make research projects as a part of the students' studies in some courses The use of experimental projects as new assessment tools to evaluate the students achievement

Class Size

Based on the number of students involved in all courses with the College of Science, it was found that the Student to instructor ratio is averaged to be around 38 students per full time faculty. Actually, students enrolled in the COS major courses are relatively low. Enrollment in the COS service courses is high. Such ratio is relatively high and some measures have to be taken. With such ratio, the instructor cannot give the appropriate attention to all students.

Plans for Further Enhancing Class Size

As mentioned previously, the college serves most of the students in the University. Based on the statistic provided for the fall and spring semesters 2015/2016, the college of Science had served all UOS students (students may be enrolled in more than one COS courses) by 86 full time faculty and 17 part time instructors. That is why extra help is needed urgently during the coming years. More full time faculty members are needed. Core courses within individual Departments have low students to instructor ratio. As mentioned earlier, the inflated rate is only happening with the service courses within the colleges.

Self Evaluation of Teaching Faculty Teaching load As mentioned previously, the college serves most of the students in the University. Based on the statistic provided for the fall and spring semester 2018/2019, the college of Science had served UOS students by 91 full time faculty. That is why extra help was needed urgently needed during the year. More full time faculty members are needed and have more constraints on students enrolled from other Colleges. Core

courses within individual Departments have a very low students to instructor ration. However, the average teaching load per faculty members is around 17 which is above the normal load.

Plans for Further adjustment to faculty load 1- Hire new qualified full or part time faculty members where needed. 2- Reduce the teaching load to 9 cr. hrs/semester

40- Strategic Planning and Education Leadership in Higher administration Education

41- Class time reconsidered Teaching and How can we make the most of the relatively learning limited time we have with our students during class? Educational research is clear: engaging students in active learning in the classroom leads to improved learning outcomes over “continuous exposition by the teacher.” But what is active learning? Why does it work? And how can we build it meaningfully into our class sessions? In this seminar, we’ll explore teaching strategies, learning principles, and digital technologies for creative active learning environments in our classroom—and engaging our students in deeper learning.

105

42- T&L workshop: Active Teaching and Teaching and learning (T&L) in postsecondary learning learning institutions has evolved over

the past number of years taking advantage of technological advances and

to meet the increased demand for highly qualified graduates in specialized

fields. At the University of Sharjah, the office of the Vice Chancellor for

Academic Affairs (VCAA) has been working on a multidimensional plan that

aims at transforming teaching and learning at the University of Sharjah to:

• Integrate technology into T&L

• Promote undergraduate research

• Enhance UOS students employability

• Cultivate innovation and creativity in T&L

43- Setting Expectations for Teaching and Learning in a course learning

44- Applying Research-based Teaching and The session will help participants design courses Instructional Approaches learning that incorporate the research and processes in Courses You Teach developed in the first four days into designing courses for their subjects. The purpose of this session is to help participants apply research on learning outcomes, research-based assessment methods, research-based instructional strategies, research on metacognition, and research on transfer of learning to design courses that they teach. The focus is on the synthesis of the preceding sessions. Participants from the first four 106

sessions are encouraged to bring questions and concerns that may be addressed in this session.

45- Designing a Course- Teaching and based Assessment learning Approaches

46- Metacognition and Teaching and The session will introduce the terminology Transfer - What Faculty learning associated with metacognition and transfer of Members Expect Their learning. Although faculty members are often Students to Learn, but unfamiliar with these terms, they are the basis for Never Teach how many faculty members expect their students to learn and apply what they learn. Informally, metacognition occurs when students shift their thinking from the specific task on which they are working, e.g., solving a problem at the end of a chapter in textbook, to more general processes and ideas that are related to the specific task on which they are working. Students are working at more general level, or meta level, hence the term, metacognition. More detailed descriptions of metacognition and its application to instruction will be examined in the session. Further, the session address how faculty members can design their courses to improve the metacognitive abilities of their students. Transfer of learning is what all faculty members want, i.e., they want students to take the concepts and procedures that they learned in their courses and apply them to scenarios that are different that the scenarios used in their courses. Unfortunately, human beings, who have not focused on how to transfer their learning, are typically unskilled at transfer of

107

learning. However, faculty members can design learning activities promote student development of transfer of learning. The session will introduce the research underlying these ideas and how faculty members can apply these ideas in teaching their courses.

Self evaluation of Faculty Development Activities The total number of workshop, seminars and training sessions attended by faculty members was around 73 during the current academic year. This is higher by three times compared to last year.

Plans for stimulating Faculty Developments 1- More workshops and training sessions must be organized and attended in ones area of specialization. 2- Encourage collaborations between faculty members within the College, University and outside academic and research institutions 3- Allocate a budget for attending workshops and training programs 4- Share inter college expertise in areas of specialization

Self evaluation of students number

The total number of students in the College has increased from 737 last year to 781. This increased because of the good reputation of the programs offered by the College along with the international recognition of some programs within the College. In addition to good reputation, the College is adapting well organized outreach strategies that produce good publicity. The cost of the programs within the college is also another factor that contributes to the increase of students who are enrolled in the Science program.

Plans for Further Stimulating Student Enrollment 1- Maintaining the of the good reputation of the programs offered by the College along with the international recognition of some programs within the College. 2- Adapting well organized outreach strategies that produce good publicity. 3- Keep the cost of the programs within the at the current level 4- Placing graduates in appropriate work places.

Here are examples of departments in the College of Science of how to stimulate the student enrollment:

Department of Computer Science

The students' recruitment committee in the Department of Computer Science is working to achieve the following goals:

 Increase the department visibility and generate interest in the CS field amongst high school students and other university students who are interested in changing their major.  Maintain continuous promotion efforts to boost CS major students enrollment  Develop and deploy a structured framework for college wide promotional activities We started off by elaborating a marketing strategy for our department, which is illustrated in figure 2 below:

137

•Targeting high school students in •Taregting students about to choose career exploration phase or change their major •Introduction to CS field, its •Through CS seminars, courses (i.e. potential/misconceptions and programming I course) and events. degrees offered by CS.

Presentations Presentations to High School to University Students Students

CS Publictions Visibility & Promotion Events •Contact with large population of Materials students •CS banners •Through clubs •CS brochures •series of visibilty events: CS •CS magazine/newsletter week/Senior & Junior projects/ CS •CS videos Seminars/ trips/ Graduation parties •CS website •Alumni & potential employers •CS surveys •CS booths/interaction & handout distribution

Figure 2. CS student recruitment strategy.

As shown in the figure, this iterative marketing strategy consists in two categories of activities:

 Targeted one-on-one presentations involving close interactions with young high school students, as means to increase their awareness about the CS field and the department of CS offerings  University wide events targeting the whole body of UOS students, as means to represent and increase the department visibility.

138

Department of Applied Biology

The department of applied biology has an enrollment plan that was initiated last year as part of the university effort to increase the enrollment. The plan included:

1- Advertising materials: each of the college departments has prepared an advertising material that included brochures, leaflets, posters and roll-ups. These were distributed to high schools students at various schools in the UAE.

2- TV and Radio Interviews and Programs: staff at the college of sciences conducted several TV interviews at various local TV and radio stations highlighting the importance of basic sciences in providing jobs for young high school graduates.

3- High School Visits: staff members at the College of Sciences have conducted several visits to local high schools, giving lectures and promoting the programs offered at each of the college departments.

4- Newspaper and Magazine Articles: several newspaper and magazine articles were written in an attempt to advertize the programs offered at each department.

5- Advertising department activities in various media outlets.

6- Scholarship: the department within the CoSci. is actively working to secure scholarships for its students through contracts with local government agencies.

7- Organizing events such as Sharjah Science Festival (SSF), Biotechnology Student Exhibition, 1st UAE Conference on Biotechnology, etc. to attract students to the program.

8- Participating in various advertising events held locally at the university (Open Day, National Day) and at various exhibitions nationally and regionally.

139

The above plan and factors have successfully contributed to the noticeable increment in the number of students enrolled in the biotechnology program as shownin the below table.

Figure 3: Admitted and Enrolled students in the Department of Applied Biology It should be noted that these actions as it is evident by the number of students enrolled in various departments of the college. The only challenge the college faces is in the Applied Physics Programs, where the effort has not been successful in attracting students to the program. Reasons for this were investigated and discussed at the college level and the conclusion is that the perception the public has on the subject matter (e.g. difficult to understand) is the main reason behind that. Also, the misconception that studying physics provides the students with one career option; teaching, is playing a vital role is scaring students away from the discipline. Suggestions to opening sub-specialties, minors, M.Sc. programs are currently discussed as possible solutions to attract students to the field.

The department of chemistry recognize that students' decision to register for a chemistry degree is radically different than their decisions years ago. Nowadays, students do not attend colleges just to get a degree in chemistry they would want to be sure they could get a job after all. Flexibility of the schedule, degree options and a rewarding career is the main concern for many students.

In this context representative faculty members from the Department of chemistry have conducted pre- scheduled visits to selected chemical plants and factories to explore students’ employments along with potential research collaborations. As a result, many of such industries agreed to train chemistry students in their advanced laboratories and guide them through proper trainings into the labor market.

The Department of chemistry is expecting a steady growth in the number of student enrolled in the next five years as extrapolated by the current results which were achieved during the past cycle of assessment. The mid-range target for the students’ enrollment is expected to be 205 students by 2019/2020.

We believe in the department of chemistry that the key to enrollment growth in a chemistry degree today is to offer the right programs to the right students. Also the use of marketing strategies will help boost the number of students enrolled as well as lead to a positive outcome for students and the department.

We have identify the following marketing and recruiting strategies:

141

 Identify and attend recruitment venues in partnership with other university services between registration periods  Build a good relationship with high schools, governmental agencies, and organizations

 Find industrial partners who can train our students and create a productive partnership  Organize visits to high schools and talk to students about a future career in chemistry  Participate in regional high school fairs, career days, and high school events to showcase the department of chemistry as an excellent choice for future career.  Organize and sponsor department fairs directed to high school students and their families to showcase our program and services.  Building strong ties with alumni of the department of chemistry through a newsletter.

5.4 Student Academic Performance

Student performance is evaluated by instructors at the course level as per the assessment policy stated in every course outline/syllabus. The distribution of grades on the different assessment items comply with the university policy on students' performance assessment. The university uses letter grades (A, B+,B, C+,C, D+,D and F) to rate students' performance in courses. The weights assigned to these grades are as follows: A 4; B+ 3.5; B 3; C+ 2.5; C 2; D+ 1.5; D 1; and F 0). Grades of "D" or "D+" are considered passing grades in most courses, however students are required to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.00 (C) to remain in the program. According the university bylaws for undergraduate programs, students are subject to probation any time their GPA falls below 2.00 and are dismissed if they cannot raise their GPA to 2.00 or above one semester after receiving two consecutive warnings or if they accumulate five warnings in total.

Following final examination, students' performance and grades are discussed and approved in dedicated meetings of the Department Council (chaired by the department chairman with membership of all faculty members in the department). The purpose of discussion in the council is to assess the consistency of grades, monitor students' performance, detect abnormalities in grades, and review students' performance. Following approval of grades by the Department Council, the grades are considered by the College Council (chaired by the dean and includes the vice-dean, chairs of departments and representatives of faculty member in the various departments). The grades are published to students upon final processing by the office of the registrar. The Deans' Council (chaired by the Chancellor with membership of the vice-chancellors and deans of the various colleges) reviews the overall performance records of students from the different departments and comments on abnormalities and other policy related issues.

Exams, homework, quizzes and other assessment items are graded and students are given marked material and feedback as appropriate. The university requires that students' performance and grades of the first midterm exam are announced to students prior to the final date of withdrawal from courses.

The College of Sciences program also includes an important compulsory practical training/internship requirement for some departments. The course requires students to undertake at least eight weeks of field practical training in the science field with local, regional or international, public or private organizations, under the supervision and direct assessment of practicing supervisors. During training, students are required to prepare and submit weekly progress reports certified by their supervisors. Furthermore, the faculty member who coordinates the training course meets with the students' supervisors at least once during training to discuss students' preparedness and performance. Upon completion, students are required to submit a report to the training coordinator for assessment.
