He is also active in engineering education and engineering ethics, particularly in mechanics education and appropriate technology. At UPRM Papadopoulos serves as the coordinator of the Engineering Mechanics Committee, which man- ages the mechanics courses taken by all engineering majors. He also co-coordinates the Social, Ethical, and Global Issues (SEGI) in Engineering Program and Forums on Philosophy, Engineering, and Technol- ogy.Vincent C.

, and even the measurementscale.2,4 Preliminary work on this project, completed with Yokomoto, examined students’ abilityto assess their performance in Statics and Engineering Ethics.5 In the case of the preliminarystudy, however, students were asked to rate their performance in Statics prior to taking the finalexam and no other factors were considered. This study indicated that there were mild correla-tions between performance and self-assessment (enough to warrant further study).The present study looks to see if comparing students’ self-assessments to performance acrossmultiple problems shows any more correlation than was found in the one question to oneproblem work of Sarin and Headley.1 The analysis is based upon data collected in the
