Plans and Policies

Why We Plan?

CEI utilizes a flexible futuring framework rather than a static strategic plan. The Framework is designed to:

Keep CEI nimble, innovative, and responsive to market pressure, while ensuring that change is data-driven, research-based, and measurable.

Shows what data we collect and why we analyze it

Show how data is communicated across the entire campus so that successes can be replicated and celebrated.

Encourage each department to scan and respond to the constantly shifting environment.

Show possible lines of administrative support so the institution can pivot to capitalize on its opportunities.

Comprehensive Plan

These pages make the Framework visible. It outlines how information is created and shared across campus so that our diverse campus can make new connections. With a shared Framework, each department can ask new research questions and see how those answers will fit into the greater whole. The Framework outlines consistent assessment measures, as well as the short-term initiatives that spring from them. Ultimately, the Framework shows the collaborative strength of CEI’s participatory governance. It shows how CEI ties all our content experts into a cohesive whole capable of moving the College into our desired future.

Planning for our Future

The majority of the buildings at CEI are over 40 years old. They are inadequate for today’s technology-based careers. CEI is the only institution in Idaho without a Career and Technical Education (CTE) building. Programs and Curriculum will include Cyber, ESTEC (Energy Systems), Nuclear Technician, Computer Network Technician, Software/Web, Radiation Safety, Agri-Tech, Engineering Technician, GIS Modeling/Virtual Reality, Machine Tool Technology/Advanced Manufacturing, Battery, and Solar.
