The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) obtains information about student participation in programs and activities that institutions provide for their learning and personal development. The survey assesses the extent to which students engage in a variety of educationally effective activities in the following aspects:

• Level of Academic Challenge
• Active and Collaborative Learning
• Student-Faculty Interaction
• Enriching Educational Experiences
• Supportive Campus Environment

Missouri S&T administers the web version of NSSE every other year. Freshmen and seniors are scheduled to complete the NSSE.  More information regarding NSSE can be found here .
