Engineering Education, 2015 On the Development of an Automated Course Assessment ToolAbstractHigher education assessment is typically addressed at three levels: course, program, andinstitution. While commercial products for aid in the assessment process exist, a developmentalAutomated Course Assessment Tool (ACAT) is presented. Primary features and functionalityinclude simple and efficient set-up of course outcomes and the associated weighted mapping ofperformance indicators, Moodle integration, “No Submit Analysis,” basic statistical analysis,basic correlation studies, and auto-generation of a course outcomes assessment summary table.In this paper, extended functionality to program-level outcomes and enhancements to course-level outcomes

College during the fall of 2014 in the Incubator experience. Although the pilot study did notfind an advantage of teaching integrated courses, it was an important step towards the re-envisioning of the existing curriculum. The Purdue Polytechnic Incubator operated as a facultynetwork that explored best practices on education by deconstructing the models of traditionaldisciplines. This allowed for re-visioning of the traditional educational model by including co-teaching and group reflections as a core component of the experience. The integration ofhumanities and technology provided with a rich ground for student development. Rather thanfocusing only in a mechanistic approach to technology, students were able to draw parallels withtheir cultural

1’s. I feel they are of great benefit to anybody who has not done DCG for leaving cert. I hope to further improve my sketching skills.”Discussion / ConclusionThere are a number of positives that can be extracted from the study presented in this paper.A unique spatial skills intervention [8] was successfully blended into a freshman graphicscourse in an Initial Technology Teacher Education program at the University of Limerick.The spatial skills intervention was integrated into a unique set of learning outcomes that alsoincluded the development of observational freehand sketching skills and the ability tocommunicate graphically using digital media.The level of improvement (Table 4) was very promising with a mean increase of 14.3

which improve the efficiencyof delivery of course content while maximizing value-added student activities where interactionswith the instructor and TAs are prized. These techniques include a “flipped classroom” model, on-line video instructional materials, efficient content modularization and customizability, automatedfeedback, integrated assessment mechanisms and team-based in-class activities. A high proportionof class time is structured to support creative project work where students appropriate CAD skillsby applying them to creative problem solving. It is the opinion of the authors that this blendedlearning methodology has the potential to provide a just-in-time delivery of instruction which canbe customized to meet an individual student’s
