engineering instructor. Assessment is a vast topic withmany options. There are generally two types of knowledge to assess: declarative and procedural.Instructors vary the assessment method depending on that category of knowledge. For example,instructors can easily measure a student’s declarative knowledge with a written exam and proceduralknowledge with a project. However, in a graduate engineering course assessing procedural knowledge ismore prevalent, since the student must apply the declarative knowledge appropriately in order to succeedin our competitive workforce. In addition to an instructor’s method to evaluate a project, both peer andself-evaluation are often used as a complement to an instructor’s evaluation. Assessing softwareengineering

disciplines. This limited literature may be attributed to multiple reasons such as asignificant emphasis on mathematics and science in the first two years of engineeringcurriculum, a strictly sequential degree path, and a lack of flexibility in the programrequirements. Engineering students often report difficulty in relating the theoretical content ofthe first few semesters to actual engineering applications. This study investigates theeffectiveness of undergraduate research as a possible means of overcoming these studentperceptions. Students are introduced to well-defined research projects at an early stage of theirundergraduate degree program by adopting a scaffolding approach. The primary focus of thisstudy is to understand student perceptions

in education, as a function of accountability.This last point falls under the umbrella of the phrase culture of evidence, which is currentlypopular among policy and assessment experts. It captures the belief that colleges can enhancestudent learning and success if they systematically collect and examine data8. Suskie9 states thatfor good assessment to happen, the instructor at the start needs to “develop clearly articulatedwritten statements of expected learning outcomes”, that is, what the students know and will beable to do by the end of the course. Ewell5 calls this the “Improvement Paradigm”, which canembrace many kinds of evidence-gathering, including standardized and faculty-designedexaminations, capstone projects, demonstrations

According tomuch of the research it is helpful to have something visual to reinforce classroom lectures.Typically there are separate lab components to these courses with attempt to reinforce the classwork, but they do not always address the core concepts that the students are struggling with.A project is underway at Penn State Erie to develop a group of simple exercises for use in aclassroom setting which bridge the gap between traditional lectures and the accompanyinglaboratory experiences. They are intended to last the length of a lecture period, and will not justdemonstrate but also help teach the core principle involved. They will use a guided inquiryapproach to challenge student misconceptions, and to promote deeper
