students to analyze a film and address leadership topics in the PD-3 curriculum. During these presentations, the instructors noted that the higher levels of the cognitive domain were not reached. Therefore, a group presentation was carefully designed to target analysis, synthesis and evaluation levels of the cognitive domain. The design included case scenarios that required the students to analyze the information given and, through the use of synthesis and evaluation, prepare and present their position. During a Q&A portion of their presentations, student responses to certain questions further help instructors analyze their learning and internalization of the course content

Theinstructor will calculate a new score for the paper if it has been updated according to theevaluation results. For example, if a student loses points due to spelling errors and later revisesthe paper to correct the errors, then the deducted points will be credited.The second in-class test is given in the fourth class period of this week.Week 10: Presentation.Students are required to give a presentation in class, using Microsoft PowerPoint slides.

Wehad about 40 participants from Chile and 6 participants from the U.S. Most of the participantsfrom Chile were either the deans, heads of department, or senior faculty from the engineeringschools. Dr. Susan Kemnitzer, NSF, gave an excellent keynote address for the participants andhad a lively Q&A session. We conducted an evaluation of the workshop. At the end of the meeting, the participants were required to assess the usefulness andorganization of the workshop by filling out a questionnaire comprising of 8 items. Items were in
