How can you contribute to the achievement of organizational objectives and improve your performance?

Schedule your faculty Advisor Meeting with CWEE faculty within 2 weeks of your CWEE orientation to submit written Workplace Project Agreement Forms and receive approval before beginning your Workplace projects. No advisor meeting results in a failing grade in the CWEE course.

Upon completion of each of your workplace project(s) you will need to write a 1-2 page paper and include the following:

• Your name
• Date
• Assignment # (Example #4-1, #4-2)
• Describe, discuss and explain each project by answering the following questions:
  • What was the objective/goal?
    
  • Was the objective/goal accomplished?
    
  • How was it accomplished?
    
  • What was the result/outcome?
    
  • Was there an improvement?

Papers must be typed, double-spaced and have 12 point font. You may include photos, videos, spreadsheets or any other supplemental materials that will fit within a notebook.

Attach the white copy of Workplace Project Agreement form(s) rated, signed and dated by your supervisor (step 6) to your 1-2 page paper. Employer evaluation below 90% WILL result in a point deduction. No employer evaluation of workplace projects = FAIL assignment.

CWEE faculty will make an appointment for a site visit with your supervisor while you are in the program, to discuss your educational growth on the job and to evaluate your progress on Workplace Project(s). Please make your supervisor aware of this program requirement; however, we will contact them to arrange the meeting, and it does not affect your grade.
