EDU 571 Week 3 Target of Program Evaluation Plan, Part 1 -
Target of Program Evaluation Plan, Part 1
Assignment 1 is the first part of a five-part project to plan the
various elements of a program evaluation for education. Select a
program target from your school district, workplace, (e.g.,
business training program) or your university (where you are a
student). For you to gain the most from the assignment, you
should select a program that you are interested in, would like to
see evaluated, and are able to obtain information about.
(Possible programs include: student assessment, teacher
assessment, pay for student achievement, new teacher or
employee training, online classrooms, anti-bullying, gender
equity for girls in math and science, school to work, retention
of at-risk students, and schools of choice (charter schools),

2. etc.). As you develop the entire plan, gather information, and
receive feedback from your professor (or others), you should
revise and refine each part of the project. Think of your
professor as your project evaluator and supervisor who will help
guide you so that you produce an outstanding, well-developed
evaluation plan for the stakeholders.
Write a 1000 words paper in which you:
1. Describe three (3) elements of a worthy object for program
evaluation - its type, the department administrating it, and
target population.
2. Describe the program's history, primary purpose(s), and / or
expected outcomes.
3. Explain three (3) reasons for selecting the program (e.g.,
program's value or lack of it, issues surrounding it, age,
relevance, cost, impact on students, etc.).
4. Discuss three (3) advantages of evaluating the program at this
time.
5. Discuss two (2) major constraints in conducting an evaluation
on this program and a method of addressing them.
6. Use at least three (3) peer-reviewed academic resources in
this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and many Websites do not
qualify as academic resources. Peer-reviewed academic
resources refer to articles and scholarly journals that are
reviewed by a panel of experts or peers in the field. Review the
video titled Research Starter: Finding Peer-Reviewed
References for more information on obtaining peer-reviewed
academic resources through your Blackboard course shell.
7. Format your assignment according to the following
formatting requirements:
a. Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size
12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
b. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment,
the student's name, the professor's name, the course title, and
the date. The cover page is not included in the required page
length.
c. Include a reference page. Citations and references must

3. follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the
required page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this
assignment are:
· Explore the need for evaluating school programs.
· Develop a program evaluation plan for education.
· Write clearly and concisely about education program
evaluation using proper writing mechanics.
· Use technology and information resources to research issues in
educational program evaluation.

1
A dates syrup company in Oman uses a special industrial drive
which consists of an induction motor. As the drive seems to be
the main component of the company, it becomes mandatory to
measure its voltage, current, resistance etc. more frequently in
an accurate way. A meter is used to measure the above
electrical quantities, may affect the induction motor
performance under test. Also meter will affect the circuit
measurements due to loading effect. Choose a suitable meter for
the measurement of various
electrical quantities and explain it with neat diagram.

Digital imaging procedures are finding increasing application in
diagnostic cardiologist. As a result, a display device has become
an integral part of the diagnostic cardiologist department.
Efforts are underway to investigate the suitability of high-
resolution display device for diagnosis by the cardiologist.
Initial results appear to be encouraging. Initial results show that
the display device falls short in key performance features such
as the maximum luminance, veiling glare (scatter in the glass
faceplate) that reduces the modulation transfer, the number of
resolvable picture elements, which is smaller than the number
of addressable locations on the fluorescent screen, spatial noise
(phosphor granularity) is limiting the low-contrast detectability,
and dynamic range. With neat diagram explain the construction
and operation of a display device.
3
The production engineer in Ibri chemical factory needs a
complete measurement setup to maintain the chemical phenol at

9. -26 °C. Choose a negative temperature coefficient sensor and
explain its construction
and operation with neat diagram.
4
The pressure mat is used to measure sitting discomfort in
aircraft passenger seats. The pressure mat monitor real time
surface pressure monitoring from the occupant when seated.
Piezo -resistive sensor is used as a sensing element. The
discrete pressure data is used to map the pressure distribution
from the backrest and to compute the seat's cushion deflection
and corresponding backrest contour caused by the passenger's
weight. The sensor mat contains a total of 72 sensing elements
arranged in an evenly distributed pattern. The arrangement of
the sensors focuses on 4 distinct areas of the backrest for an
aircraft passenger seat. Explain the importance of the
standardization procedure with particular attention in increasing
the repeatability of the measurements and reducing drift and
hysteresis in pressure mat.
