ESSENTIAL LEARNING OUTCOMES

All graduates of associate degree programs at Eastern Maine Community College will improve their initial skills in the following common learning objectives:

Communication: Graduates effectively convey ideas to others using graphics, speech and writing, while sources (if any) are handled appropriately, and content, mechanics, and presentation are clear and appropriate to the assignment.
Teamwork: Graduates work effectively in teams with individuals from diverse backgrounds to achieve a goal. Graduates work collaboratively and in a timely manner to ensure that all members participate in accomplishing the task and provide constructive feedback when conflicts arise.
Independent Learning: Graduates access, evaluate, and synthesize information independently using appropriate technology, and select information relevant to the assignment, then organize and synthesize it clearly.
Problem Solving: Graduates can interpret manuals and reports, use numerical literacy skills, scientific methods, and/or logic to first separate the symptoms from problems and then to work through the details of the problem to seek a solution.
