Part I: Institutional Graduation Requirements
IGR #l: Experiential Learning
Experiential learning is an understanding and a disposition that a student builds across
the curriculum and co-curriculum, from making simple connections among ideas and
experiences to synthesizing and transferring learning to new, complex situations within
and beyond the campus that occurs as a result of integrative learning opportunities
across the disciplines. Such integrative learning experiences include: undergraduate
research, creative expression, academic service learning, internships, practical, study
abroad, and student employment as undergraduate research assistantship or
undergraduate learning assistantship.

Goal:

1.
2.
3.
4.
Synthesize connections among experiences outside of formal instruction to deepen
understanding of fields of study and to broaden one's own point of view.
Adapt and apply skills, abilities, theories, or methodologies gained in one situation
to new situations to solve difficult problems, engage in creative expression, or
explore complex issues in original ways.
Demonstrate a developing sense of self as a reflective learner, building on prior
knowledge to respond to new and challenging contexts; evaluating changes in one's
own learning over time recognizing complex contextual factors; and, articulating
professional strengths and challenges to increase effectiveness in different contexts
for professional development.
Choose a format and produce a poster presentation, a video, a multi-media
presentation, a piece of art, a creative performance, a portfolio artifact, a facultymentored research project, or a culminating class project that clearly illustrates
evidence of how experiential learning positively impacted degree achievement.

2:7
2.
Demonstrate a basic understanding of the impact of global issues on the practice of
their discipline.
In order to meet ABET accreditation requirements each program currently addresses global
issues in a distributed fashion throughout the curriculum. The adequacy of current efforts to
address global issues in this manner was recently confirmed by the ABET accreditation review
team that visited SDSM&T in October 2004. To meet the South Dakota Board of Regents
(SDBOR) Globalization/Global Issues Requirement, each program has identified one or two
courses within the major which meet the following guidelines:
1.
2.
3.
The syllabus clearly articulates the goals, learning outcomes, and assessments related
to global issues,
The student’s understanding of the issues addressed in the course is evaluated through
graded assignments, reports, papers, tests, etc., and
Performance on such assignments contributes to the student’s grade for the course.
The global issues component in the identified courses will, in total, be equivalent to a minimum
of 1 credit hour of study. Global issues will also continue to be addressed in other courses
within the major as needed in accordance with ABET accreditation requirements.
Programs may recast the goal and student learning outcomes above to reflect the particular
needs of the program so long as these remain consistent with the above formulations.

Part II:
Globalization/Global Issues
Globalization is defined as a process of interaction and integration among different people,
organizations, and governments that takes place outside of and above the level of national
boundaries. The primary result of this process is the interdependence of capital, technology,
information, and people across national borders. This interdependence of economic and
cultural activities has implications for a variety of issues around the world, including, but not
limited to, political systems, economic systems, the environment, agriculture, public health,
health care, information technology, social networking, communications,
transportation,
education, governance, and prosperity. Through the process of globalization, people and
organizations communicate, conduct business, and address challenges, across and irrespective
of national borders.
Goal: Students will be able to identify global issues and how they impact their lives and
discipline.
Student Learning Outcomes:
The primary objective of this requirement is to offer courses that present meaningful global
content of contemporary relevance (i.e., content based on trends, events or interactions from
the post-WWII era to the present). Each course that fulfills this requirement must include ONE
of the following two student learning outcomes.
Students will:
1.
Demonstrate a basic understanding of modern-day globalization, including outlining
the benefits and cost implications of globalization, and interpret consequences of global
issues through various forms of analysis.
Baccalaureate General Education Curriculum
Page 33 of 43
2:7
OR
2.
Express knowledge of the customs and cultures of a particular country or a specific
region outside of one’s own national borders. (The emphasis in this SLO is the more
in-depth study of one particular country or region.)
Credit Hours: Students can select a course to meet the globalization requirement which also
meets one of the SGR/IGR requirements or meets a major requirement. Selected courses do
not add to the total number of credit required for the major.

Part III: Writing Intensive/Advanced Writing Requirement
Goal: Students will build upon concepts learned in courses covering System General
Education Goal #1 and refine their skills through research and writing in a discipline specific
context.
Student Learning Outcomes: Students will:
1.
Read extensively and respond critically in the written discourse of a discipline;
formulate research questions, refine topics, develop a plan for research and organize
what is known about the topic; articulate a position through a thesis statement and
advance it using evidence from primary and secondary sources, examples, and
counterarguments that are relevant to the audience or issues at hand,
2.
Use a style manual and other writing conventions specific to a discipline; avoid
plagiarism by adhering to the rules for paraphrasing, summarizing, and the use of
quotations, as well as the conventions for incorporating information from Internetbased resources,
3.
Evaluate sources critically, both print and electronic, discern the strength of evidence
and arguments, determine credibility, and identify potential bias and overall quality,
and
4.
Present the results of research or project, either collaboratively or individually, to the
class, department, faculty, community members, or at a student research conference or
professional conference.
Each course meeting this goal includes the following student learning outcomes.
Required: #1, #2, #3, #4
Credit Hours: Integrated in the major or may select a specific advanced course (i.e., ENGL
379, Technical Communication) which addresses the advanced writing goal and student
learning outcomes. Selected course(s) do not add to the total number of credits required for
the major.
Each program area/major determined how to best address the advanced writing goal and
student learning outcomes. The following options were available to departments to consider:
1.
Select any course or series of courses approved by the major (major prefix) that address
the goal and student learning outcomes, including capstone experiences/courses. The
Baccalaureate General Education Curriculum
Page 35 of 43
2:7
2.
course must build on the two courses (ENGL 101, 201 or 277) which fulfill SGR Goal
#1, and
Designated higher level English course which addresses the goal and student learning
outcomes. The course must build on the two courses (ENGL 101 and 201 or 277)
which fulfill SGR Goal #1.
All course syllabi were required to include the advanced writing goal, student learning
outcomes and linkages to assessment tools/strategies. Syllabi were reviewed to assess whether
the course met the intent of the goal and student learning outcomes. Only courses at the 300400 level and beyond the system general education goal were accepted for inclusion on the
proposed list.
