AbstractSelf-evaluation by students is commonly used as a key element in program and courseassessment plans. Such instruments are intended to provide crucial feedback for programimprovement and thus play a significant role in closing our assessment loop. For many of theprogram outcomes, self-assessment by current students and graduates augments other

With this in mind, we now introduce the modelthat governs and sustains the teaching and research mission of our university laboratory.The synergistic interaction between teaching and research, their drivers and end-results isalso illustrated. These drivers can be classified into those of resource needs (e.g. qualifiedpersonnel) and technology related issues. Resource needs can be further classified intothree types – (1) design and application engineers, (2) radar system integrators and man- Page 13.89.6agers, and (3) research and development scientists. These needs are met by BS, MS, andPhD graduates

when confronted with assignments that do not have cookbook like instructions. There is little comfort in explaining to students that real engineering problems do not come with cookbook instructions. 3. Making the experimental apparatus “interesting” or “practically relevant” does not fully compensate for the student discomfort at being confronted with a task that they feel unprepared to successfully complete. 4. The post-lab surveys did not clearly tell the student to limit their answer to the inquiry- based experiments. This error in our instrument caused many students to report on their experience with both types of experiments in mind. The next version of our instrument will correct
