The students were asked to reflect on their involvement in the project, andthen rate how their participation affected their learning in six areas, as indicated in the following: 1. Ability to work as part of a large interdisciplinary team of technical and non-technical professionals. 2. Ability to write a real request for proposals and evaluate the responses. 3 Ability to consider life cycle issues when specifying components and identifying vendors. 4

Evaluation of Effectiveness. Engineering practitioners rate a sample of student papers using a simple 1 to 5 scale from “not effective” to “effective” - or, as translated by one practitioner, from “horrible” to “hire this person!” They are given basic information about the task and asked to evaluate based on what they know to be effective writing in workplace practice. Scores for pre- and post-intervention papers are compared statistically with Mann-Whitney U or Wilcoxon Matched Pairs tests. 4. Perceptions of Usefulness. Students are asked to complete a short survey about their perceptions of their learning and the materials’ usefulness, or – if instructors prefer – to write open-ended reflections on their learning. The survey

The frequency of teachers coded responses to our free-response items associated withteaching the CCSS-Math and NGSS practices.When asked to rate their level of knowledge of the practices of the CCSS-Math and the NGSS(on a 10 point Likert-like Scale), the participants indicated moderate knowledge of the CCSS-Math practices (M = 5.67, DS = 2.22) and relatively low levels of knowledge of the NGSSpractices (M = 2.62, SD = 2.00). When we compared the participants’ answers rating their levelof knowledge of the practices to the their responses to our item asking the participants to explainthe practices, we revealed alignment between their rated knowledge of the NGSS practices, asboth the coded answers and self-report answers were reflective

Methodology This study was designed as a first phase to study the effectiveness of teaching engineeringethics at the University. Later areas of study will build on this study and may include alongitudinal study and expansion to other institutions.Design This study was a non-experimental between-subjects non-equivalent groups design. Thisstudy was designed to compare the moral judgment of engineering students who are justbeginning their studies at the University with those who are completing their studies. The studydesign was approved by the University’s Ethics in Research Committee (EIRC).Hypothesis The University’s teaching of engineering ethics increases students’ engineering moraljudgment as reflected in scores on the Engineering

0.783 for Section 002.This is likely due to the makeup of students in each section and the time difference betweenwhen the two sections met for class. The lower performing section was the earlier 8 AM classwhen more students were apt to miss class, show up late, and be less engaged during the classlectures. The importance of the difference between the two sections is reflected in the unevendistribution of homework assignments. The section that performed better was assessed twicewith paper homework while the section that performed worse was assessed twice withWeBWorK homework. This would indicate the difference between paper-based homework andWeBWorK-based homework may be larger than directly indicated by the score averages weobtained. If only

Inrecent years there has been a significant increase in the number of engineering-specificinternational programs reflecting the increasing globalization of the engineering enterprise.As engineering educators one might ask if engineering students learn differently on study abroadprograms than do students in other majors? And, if so, what implication does this have indeveloping and conducting these programs? The field of international education has, for sometime, sought to find ways to adequately assess international programs [3]. There is a consensus inmuch of the literature that studying abroad can have a positive

In the first-year engineering course, ENG1101, approximately five 1.5 hour classsessions are spent on sketching topics, followed by an exam. The graphics topics covered in thiscourse include isometric and oblique sketching, orthographic projections of normal, inclined, andcurved surfaces, rotations, reflections, and planes of symmetry. Students scoring 60% or belowon the PSVT paper and LMS versions were excluded from this analysis because they wererequired to

For example, one Team 1student added a caveat to their pre-course response about how stakeholders should have aprominent role during design: “Stakeholders should have a large role but they also need to understand the entire design process and know what kind of limitations there are.”The same Team 1 student also changed their pre-course response to Question 4

: Scatterplot of Average Test Score vs. Class Participation PointsFigure 9 shows the average quiz score, compared to the total of all other points in the course.Both totals were adjusted to 100 points to simplify comparison. There is a surprisingly highcorrelation between the two scores (R = 0.59, P = 0.002). However, this probably reflects the factthat those students who skipped quizzes also tended to skip classes and skipped turning in someassignments. The fact that three students did very well in the quizzes, but got a “C” in the courseindicates that there is no clear cause and effect.
