is more value in gaining such information by exploring these researchvenues. Research which is conducted by visiting the site is known as field research2. It consist ofparticipant observation, interviews and document analysis as seen in figure 17. Field research canbe very exciting and rewarding and at the same time extremely overwhelming. It is important toknow what kind of information needs to be collected at the time of such research. Since the fieldis full of stories and actions, one can easily become lost in the scenario, hence having a biggerpicture and focusing on the specific research question(s) is a very important component of thefield study2. However, one cannot neglect important relevant incidents and make an informedapproach

It will contain a repository of currentbest pedagogical and assessment practices, and based on selections the user makes when definingthe learning objectives of the course, IMODS will determine and present options for assessmentand instruction that align with the type/level of student learning desired.

to the undergraduates.Since the mid-1990’s the NAU Engineering programs offer the “Design4Practice,” or “D4P,”curriculum, a series of innovative undergraduate classes which involve team-oriented learningclasses for the students in each of their freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years. The D4Pcourses engaged students to learn by actively using engineering education tools that address theissues of realizing a design: problem solving, project management, and teaming.The D4P program provided courses that emphasized team-oriented design and project management.

. The authors plan to verify such results in a futurestudy with a large sample size. The survey asked that faculty members answer the questions byplacing an X on the line for all options that may apply. The first two questions asked the facultyabout their teaching rank and work status. Faculty responded included eight full professors, fourassociate professors and three assistant professors. Eleven faculty members identified their workstatus as full-time, tenured. The other four faculty members are full-time, tenure-track.Question three asked the faculty to state the reason(s) for pursuing a teaching career in theUnited States.

Reliability was demonstrated using Cronbach`s alpha in order to determine the internalconsistencies of the used satisfaction scales, Cronbach alpha values above 0.9 indicate excellentreliability 14 and in this study it was found to be 0.958 for control group and 0.968 forexperimental one indicating excellent scales showing high internal consistency. Validity was also demonstrated through conclusion validity which is described asappropriateness of the conclusions reported based on statistical relationships 15, thus within thisanalysis conclusion validity was reported through the use of inferential statistics relying onstatistical significance results at the 5% threshold.Survey
