Georgia Tech has adopted the University System of Georgia Learning Outcomes for each Core IMPACTS Domain:
Learning Outcome: Institutional Priority
- Students will demonstrate the ability to think critically and solve problems related to academic priorities at their institution. See the Catalog for a list of courses that meet the Institution Priority - https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/core-curriculum/institution/
Learning Outcome: Mathematics & Quantitative Skills
- Students will apply mathematical and computational knowledge to interpret, evaluate, and communicate quantitative information using verbal, numerical, graphical, or symbolic forms. See the Catalog for a list of courses that Mathematics & Quantitative Skills - https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/core-curriculum/mathematics/
Learning Outcome: Political Science and U.S. History
- Students will demonstrate knowledge of the history of the United States, the history of Georgia, and the provisions and principles of the United States Constitution and the Constitution of Georgia. See the Catalog for a list of courses that meet Political Science and U.S. History - https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/core-curriculum/citizenship/
Learning Outcome: Arts, Humanities & Ethics
- Students will effectively analyze and interpret the meaning, cultural significance, and ethical implications of literary/philosophical texts in English or other languages, or of works in the visual/performing arts. See the Catalog for a list of courses that meet Arts, Humanities & Ethics - https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/core-curriculum/humanities/
Learning Outcome: Communicating in Writing
- 1) Students will communicate effectively in writing, demonstrating clear organization and structure, using appropriate grammar and writing conventions. 2) Students will appropriately acknowledge the use of materials from original sources. 3) Students will adapt their written communications to purpose and audience. 4) Students will analyze and draw informed inferences from written texts. See the Catalog for a list of courses that meet the Communicating in Writing - https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/core-curriculum/writing/
Learning Outcome: Technology, Mathematics & Sciences
- Students will use the scientific method and laboratory procedures or mathematical and computational methods to analyze data, solve problems, and explain natural phenomena. See the Catalog for a list of courses that meet Technology, Mathematics & Sciences - https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/core-curriculum/stem/
Learning Outcome: Social Sciences
- Students will effectively analyze the complexity of human behavior, and how historical, economic, political, social, or geographic relationships develop, persist, or change. See the Catalog for a list of courses that meet Social Sciences - https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/core-curriculum/social-sciences/
Learning Outcome: Field of Study
- It is expected that there will be 18 hours of lower division requirements in each major. The Regents’ Academic Advisory Committees will specify learning outcomes for their respective Field of Study Courses. These learning outcomes must be collegiate level and provide an appropriate base for later learning outcomes in the relevant degree programs. They must be consistent with the mission of the University System of Georgia.
