Machining, Manufacturing and Engineering Outreach Questionnaire


Your opinions will help us shape the Machining and Engineering programs at the college to better meet your needs and the needs of our students.

This survey has two purposes:

  1. to determine your overall satisfaction with Isothermal Community College students in Machining and/or Engineering—those that took a class or classes and those that graduated; and

  2. to seek your input on several aspects of the Machining and Engineering programs. 

All data will be kept strictly confidential and reported only as group data; no individual businesses or industries will be identified in the final report.

 If you prefer, you may download the form in MS Word format, complete and email back to Amber Thompson.
