-The importance faculty place on various areas of learning and development.
-The nature and frequency of faculty-student interactions.
-How faculty members organize their time, both in and out of the classroom.
The project is coordinated by the Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research. FSSE is designed to measure faculty expectations for student engagement in educational practices that are empirically linked with high levels of learning and development. Since 2003, over 99,000 faculty members from more than 465 different colleges and universities have responded to the survey.

UVU will be able to use this data to shape strategic direction and programming. UVU will also be able to use the data to learn more about how faculty members are involved in service-learning and community-based research; how to support faculty; and how service-learning impacts faculty, students, and community members.Omnibus Survey
UVU conducts a omnibus survey during both the Fall and Spring, to both students and employees. These home-grown surveys provide immediate feedback to administration about hot issues. It also allows various departments to include specific questions to inform their decision making. The goal is to reduce the total number of surveys being administered and allow a more coordinated effort in understanding the UVU experience.The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE): February 23 - May 30, 2009
Student engagement is an integral part of UVU’s mission, particularly in terms of engaged learning and community engagement. Engaged learning is learning by doing. It's hands-on education. It's relevant education. It's graduating with a diploma and a resume.The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is the instrument we use to measure the level of student engagement at UVU. The NSSE obtains information from hundreds of institutions nationwide about student participation in programs and activities. The results provide an estimate of how undergraduates spend their time and what they gain from attending college. Survey items on The NSSE represent empirically confirmed "good practices" in undergraduate education. That is, they reflect behaviors by students and institutions that are associated with desired outcomes of college. Results from the NSSE are used to identify aspects of the undergraduate experience inside and outside the classroom that can be improved through changes in policies and practices more consistent with good practices in undergraduate education.
