The GE+ program plans to seek accreditation under ABET’s generalengineering program criteria.BackgroundIn the 2005 publication, Educating the Engineer of 2020, the National Academy of Engineeringrecommended that undergraduate engineering programs introduce interdisciplinary learning and“more vigorously exploit the flexibility inherent in the outcomes-based accreditation approach toexperiment with novel approaches for baccalaureate education.”1 The American Society ofMechanical Engineers (ASME) Vision 2030 Task Force echoed this recommendation and named“increased curricular flexibility” as one of seven recommended actions intended to strengthenundergraduate mechanical engineering education.2 Developmentally, infusing

for Engineering Education, 2015 The Influence of Out-of-school High School Experiences on Engineering Identities and Career ChoiceAbstractStudents’ engineering career choices are not well understood. There are a variety of factors,including irrational ones, which affect students’ ultimate career decisions. Among them, out-of-school experiences in high school can impact their career interests and decisions. We examineddifferences in incoming engineering students’ high school extracurricular experiences, and howthose experiences influenced current and future selves, as well as career plans. The data for thiswork come from a national survey, distributed in Fall 2013, of 15,847 students from 27 differentinstitutions

We presentthe blueprint to create an item set to be used in initial pilot testing; this process begins withidentification and refinement of the construct, moves to the creation and refinement of behaviormatrices, and ends with expert review and additional refinement of items.2. Theoretical FrameworkIn highlighting the importance of an instrument’s validity in the context of score interpretation,Messick notes that the construct validity of score interpretation undergirds all score-basedinferences.8 In short, score interpretation is dependent upon the validity evidence collected forthe instrument itself, making the rigor of the

This analysis found that medical students inPBL curricula performed slightly worse on tests of basic science knowledge but performed betteron tests of clinical knowledge than traditional medical students. Unlike the “discovery learning”or minimally-guided instruction22,25, effective use of PBL requires extensive planning andprofessional development, a supportive environment, and tool and strategies for effectiveinstruction, including the use of technologies.26,27,28 After years of research on use of problem-based learning in medical school contexts, evidence was

When this editor has been incorporated into tutorial exercises, as we plan to doin the near future, the validity check will be extended to ensure that the student has made acircuit transformation that is in fact correct. For example, we would check that the student hascorrectly combined a series or parallel set of elements if they are being asked to simplify thecircuit in that manner. They will be required to perform only one such simplification at a time,to make this check easier

Since this was our first use of therubric, we have developed a training and review plan for our next round of coding to increase ourfirst-time reliability.

We will keep track of student retention, subsequent courses and respectiveinstructors, as well as performance, attitudes, and external experiences such as research orinternships. We also are in the planning stages of a more homogeneous course model for materialbalances.

Unassigned output pins and seven segment decoders were setup for such additional registers and control signals as seen in Figure 9. Even though reassigning pins will decrease accessibility to standard registers, a user or a designer can observe and verify the internal working of a module for planned system improvement or expansion.Figure 8: Locations of WIMP51 register and control signal access as part of the standard viewing
