A score of 4 represents an expert who has mastered the given objective; a score of3 represents a skilled problem solver; a score of 2 represents a student who has some skills butlacks competence; a score of 1 represents a complete novice. This assessment was based onreasonable expectations for freshmen students who have had their first introductory exposure toengineering principles.Four instruments were chosen for the evaluation: a team laboratory report, an individualcomputer workshop, an oral presentation, and a final exam. These were evaluated for threeconsecutive years. Using rubrics, levels of student performance are assigned values of 1-4 on anordinal scale. A score of 4

ABET Criterion G, an ability to communicate effectively, includes the ability tocommunicate orally. This criterion has often been met by offering a traditional speech class.While these courses are very effective in providing an opportunity to practice and master theskills needed for competent public speaking, the set of skills required to deliver an effectivetechnical presentation is very different. They include: audience analysis, research, organizationof material, the selection of appropriate media, and the creation of effective graphics.

On all three test sections, the experimentalgroup significantly outperformed the control group (p<0.02) as measured by ANCOVA in the2003-2004 school year. Additional field test studies are underway in the 2004-2005 school year.These results indicate that this biomedical engineering curriculum appears to have a positiveeffect on students' ability to master and apply fluid dynamics.IntroductionThe VaNTH Engineering Research Center for Bioengineering Educational Technologies isfunded by the National Science

each student workedindependently on his or her assigned problems.The reading quizzes, although valuable in compelling students to read, used up a large amount ofclass time. Also, creating a fair but effective quiz was difficult. Questions couldn’t be toodifficult, since students can’t be required to master the material on their own; if this werepossible, instructors would not be necessary. On the other hand, the questions can’t be so simplethat students can easily guess at the answer or answer them based on previous knowledge.The response from students, both through the Student Management Team and through courseevaluations, were mixed. Indeed, several students simply felt that they learned more from sittingthrough a traditional lecture than

One issue that seemed particularly disturbing was how to helpEG students improve visualization skills. It was postulated that mastering CAD might not help,and that sketching should remain a major EG component.The EG course at St. Ambrose University was redesigned again with ideas from ASEE2001. Itnow emphasizes sketching, drawing interpretation, and CAD. Two newly selected textbookshelp students connect the topics. This paper reviews the progress teaching the course under thenew format. We

Development in Engineering TechnologyAbstract:Professional development in engineering encompasses a deliberate and continuous endeavor toenhance an individual's skills, knowledge, and capabilities throughout their career. It is astructured approach focused on mastering new technologies, staying ahead of currentregulations, and refining problem-solving techniques. Professional development offers more thanjust new skills; it can also boost job satisfaction. As engineers become more adept and self-assured, they experience greater fulfillment in their work. This, in turn, creates a moreharmonious and stable work environment. Additionally, research shows that engineers engagingin ongoing professional development enjoy more significant employment

In modern printed engineering works, graphics are more segregated from the text –moved to the top or bottom of the page or into the margins. This separation is driven by thework-flow of modern publishing.
