In addition to weekly group activities, there is a semester teamproject and presentation involving appropriate technology topics. Although specificallydesigned for students leaning towards electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computerscience, other majors often take this course. Approximately one-third of the course is anintroduction to MATLABTM programming. This is followed by appropriate material andworkshops on topics such as computational modeling of Cochlear implants, implantabledefibrillators, national electric power grid modeling with software, introduction to

course outcomes have been linked to not only Programoutcomes but also ABET outcomes will be reviewed. While discussing the selection of an appropriate evaluationmethod, I will also discuss some of the topics that do NOT lend themselves to timed tests. Suggestions onalternative methods of evaluation for those topics will be offered.This paper will focus on how to prepare good True/False and Multiple Choice questions to test knowledge andskill. It will also present a simplified version of the method psychometricians use to evaluate the quality of thesetypes of exam questions for both difficulty and discrimination. Since many engineering and technology questionsinvolve calculations, a test evaluation method that works for me will be discussed. This

student learning, then concepts are more important than details. This“if” statement is not necessarily a given fact, for all of us can probably recount instructors alongthe way whose focus was not on student learning, but rather research, retirement, personalinterests, advancement, etc. However, given that student learning is the primary goal for aninstructor, we observe that it is paramount that the students learn concepts before details. Asengineers, it is somewhat ironic that we are espousing the value of concepts over details becausewe are naturally detail-oriented, but we think that begs the point: this observation is even moreimportant for engineers (or Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics [STEM]students in general
