respond to both postsecondary education and employment questions The number of survey responses for each

graduating class are presented on page three In the years 2013-14, 2014-15, and 2015-16, the graduate survey was administered on paper and follow-up calls were made to graduates Beginning in 2016-17, an electronic survey has been used to collect graduate data Many questions within the survey instrument have remained constant and the wording of a few questions has been modified slightly More recently, questions regarding applied learning experiences, student engagement while on campus, and alumni contact have been added For example, beginning in 2016-17, the responses to an employment question were modified so the data collected could be used to support the Carl D Perkins Career and Technical grant annual report In 2017-18, to shorten the graduate survey and make it easier to complete, the survey was split into two parts: one administered at the time of graduation and a second part to be administered at

a later point in time Follow up on employment characteristics of the 2018 graduating class remains to be accomplished
