who ordered tickets online. 25 audience members responded,approximately 8% of the total attendance. Survey results are summarized in Table 1.For the first set of questions that relate to audience interest and enjoyment, responseswere generally quite favorable. Responses to the second set of questions on audienceexpectations varied widely—many did not expect the degree to which technology andaudience participation would play a role in the production. The third set of questions,which measured audience interest in music, science and engineering, indicate that whilethe audience had high interest in music, they also had significant interest in science and toa slightly lesser degree, engineering.ConclusionsBased on responses from participants and

In short, validated measures were used by capable instructorswho judged performances of individual students under authentic professional experiences—yieldingcredible scores.Capstone design courses are common sites of student assessment, but most assessment is focused onABET (formerly, Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accreditation and awardinggrades. Current practices in capstone courses often prevent sound assessment of individual student

This is especially true of the Engineering isElementary (EiE) curriculum for grades K-8. EiE’s mission statement is “fostering engineeringand technological literacy for ALL elementary school-aged children.”16 The EiE curriculum issponsored by the National Center for Technological Literacy and is hosted by the Museum ofScience, Boston. Through curriculum development, research, and teacher professionaldevelopment, EiE disseminates engineering design-based curriculum for life science, earth andspace science, and physical science.

The most straightforward and accepted definitionof a flipped-classroom was given by Lage, Platt, and Treglia “Inverting the classroom means thatevents that have traditionally taken place inside the classroom now take place outside theclassroom and vice versa”1. While many professors and instructors have taken the approach tocompletely flip the classroom, where the lectures are recorded and the classroom activities arepractice

For example, in Ontario, the practice of professionalengineering is regulated by Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO). In order to be granted aprofessional engineer (P.Eng.) license from PEO, an applicant must “hold an undergraduateengineering degree from a Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB)-accreditedprogram (or possess equivalent qualifications).”2Similar to Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accreditation in theUnited States,3 CEAB accreditation also ensures that programs are continually improving.Assessment of twelve CEAB GrAtts and use of the outcomes to inform decisions on

critical need for qualified engineering graduates to join the workforce. The mostrecent U.S. Bureau of Labor projections through 2020 show significant growth of jobs in thescience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines. Marra1 et al states thatengineering and science fields will grow at more than 3 times the rate of other disciplines.However, in the midst of the demand, institutions of higher education are faced with thechallenge of retaining students within their engineering programs1-5. Student attrition has beenattributed to several factors including: student attitudes and a sense of belonging in discipline,preparation for the course material, and quality of teaching and compatibility with studentlearning styles1,6-10.
