Graded Homework and Hello to Homework QuizzesAbstractIn higher education, an ongoing issue is assessment of student learning. We wonder how toassess, how often to assess, why we are assessing, and even how are we, as faculty, going tohandle all the grading and management of assessment. Engineering students are frequentlyassessed on homework, quizzes, projects, and exams, but given today’s connected world,students may be copying or sharing homework solutions. Often, they do not realize how workingproblems is integral to their success in a class as well as to their understanding of engineering. Inaddition, across the disciplines we are more aware of how students study and that they often donot select the most productive

directed at theAviation Administration degree program. The courses within the program were found adequatein providing technical aspects and managerial concepts of airports. However, the faculty’sassessment led to an agreement that students may better appreciate technical and managerialairport concepts if they had a better understanding of the airplane itself and the airspace theynavigate that surrounds airports. At the time of this discussion, the professional pilot studentswere not targeted since their curriculum already included extensive coverage of these concepts. Itwas decided that these ideas would be brought up at the next Aviation Industry Advisory Boardmeeting.OpportunityIn summer 2017, an unusual opportunity presented itself in the

Rationale: This evaluation is heart of the assessment of student attainment of the SOs and Aerospace Engineering program criteria. These faculty members provide an independent assessment and evaluation of the degree of attainment of each SO and provide feedback for course improvement and curriculum change. This assessment and the resulting feedback to the faculty are essential for curriculum improvement.Work Review (WR) Assessment ProcessFor the Work Review assessment, the instructor is required to submit copies of the work of all ofthe students in the class on an assignment that targets the SO selected for the

The HET is used for many modern space applications, fromstation-keeping on small satellites to long-term travel to faraway asteroids.Electric propulsion, and specifically the HET, integrates many concepts that are fundamental in anundergraduate education such as electricity and magnetism (E&M), material properties, thermalanalysis, and laboratory experimentation. However, the HET is rarely studied below the graduatelevel. As such, we present a path of feasibility for an undergraduate electric propulsion projectbuilding a small, low-power HET, both as a novel vehicle for engaging with introductory physicsconcepts and as a case study of an advanced self-directed project at the undergraduate level.In this

Nationally, this achievementgap is mirrored in the lower performance of African-Americans and Hispanics students incomparison to White students as seen in both the PISA Report2 and national assessments3. Thereare several reasons cited in literature4-6 for this achievement gap. Some of these reasons are socio-economic status, strength of curriculum and disparity between school districts. In addition to thesestructural challenges, student engagement and motivation play an important role in learning.

Avast majority of material taught in classes is available online. Theoretically, a student could learnalmost everything they want from the online resources. In this research, a comparative study isdone between students learning and understanding when some basic aerospace concepts aretaught in a traditional lecture based classroom versus when students are told to look for the samematerial on the internet. The results indicate that, although all the material taught in theclassroom is available on the internet, students do not perform better when they
