University of New York, Farmingdale c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Introducing a New Graduate Degree in Technology Management: Program Overview and Assessment PlanAbstractOffering a new graduate degree requires curriculum development, course scheduling anddeveloping an assessment plan. A proper assessment plan ensures program success andcontinuous improvement. This paper provides the initial assessment plan for a new master’sdegree. The timeline of the proposed assessment activities is shared and the initialimplementation of the assessment plan for the Spring 2019 semester is discussed.

Key to this process is current teachers, and evenmore critical, future teachers (pre-service). This work is particularly interested in the engineeringtraining of pre-service teachers during their engagement with middle school students, theirunderstanding of their role in strengthening the engineering pipeline, and their development ofSTEM lesson plans. Engineering faculty instruct pre-service teachers to explore STEM issues ina capstone course entitled “Contemporary STEM Issues”. Successes and challenges of the courseare presented relative to 1) pre-service teachers’ preparation (through a capstone course) toeffectively

courses. Followingthe first round of exams, students select the course in which they wish to improve theirperformance most significantly and then complete both an exam wrapper survey and learningstrategies survey to evaluate their preparatory behaviors, conceptual understanding, andperformance on the exam. Each student develops an action plan for improvement based on theirresults and begins implementation immediately. Following the second exam, students completean exam wrapper survey followed by a learning journal, in which students evaluate and reflect ontheir adherence to and effectiveness of their action plan and performance on the second exam.We propose that engagement with this exam wrapper activity in the context of the EntangledLearning
