Each year, Purdue University Fort Wayne conducts a survey with recent graduates about their plans for the future and where their degrees will take them. The First Destination survey is a snapshot of what is possible with a degree earned at Purdue Fort Wayne.
The faculty workload data view is divided into three separate sections. The first section enumerates the FTE of faculty categories (full-time, part-time, etc.) by the specific faculty activity type (instructional, research, general instructional support, administration, and other). The second section analyzes enrollment and credit-hour ratios by instructional FTE and total FTE by faculty category. The third section is a course level detail that identifies course level information including faculty headcount, number of sections taught and the percentage of small class-section taught. The available filters for this view include term, college, department, and faculty category.
The historical course data provides a general overview of courses offered in a given season (fall, spring, and summer). The view aggregates the number of sections offered, the course enrollment at the time of the census, the maximum seat capacity for the course, and the subsequent fill rate (shown as a percentage).
The course grade distribution dashboard aggregates grade distribution by course, from fall 2013 to summer 2018. The view can be filtered by season (fall, spring, and summer), college, department, course, course modality, instructor, and if the course satisfies a general education requirement. The courses detailed in this analysis are those that can impact a student’s GPA.
