Communicate a design 9 RedesignThe survey items shown in Table 2 were also given to recent graduates (2014 and 2015) withoutthe inclusion of the PA items since this group did not complete the pre-capstone project.Hypotheses Upon completion of the pre-capstone project, students will not have significantly high engineering design (ED) and engineering design process (EDP) self-efficacy. The students given the pre-capstone project will not have significantly different mean ranks in engineering design confidence and preparedness to conduct engineering design than students not given the project.Data AnalysisStudents’ ED and EDP measures were averaged and compared to the rankings defined byCarberry et al.11 (high, moderate, and low levels of

faculty perspectives, and surveying perceptions of culturalintelligence among students at strategic points in the curriculum. The first part of the assessmentinvolved surveys of the faculty to identify types and amount of learning activities related toglobal learning. The key finding from the survey was the common narrow perception of globallearning as study abroad and international education activities. The second part of the assessmentinvolved surveys of faculty and students in the Fall 2015 and Spring 2016 terms to exploreperceptions about students and their self-efficacy associated with global learning. The studentssurveyed ranged across the curriculum from freshman to graduate students. Interestingly, resultsindicate that students’ self

greater percent gains on the concept inventory than either Section B or D. The 0.089points loss appears to be offset by the 0.12 points gain seen in students of an instructor withtraining in active-learning pedagogies.Student intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy is known to improve student engagement andperformance.12 Professors 1 and 4 began their quarters with discussions on best practices forstudent success, explained why the course was using active learning techniques, and learnedstudent names by the second week. Professors 2 and 3 report not learning names or explainingthe purpose of the active learning modules. Professor 3 did tell the students he was usingmaterial developed by other faculty without providing a full explanation of the
