Students are asked to provide cases where 0.40,0.50, and 0.60 w/c concrete mixtures would be used in engineering practice.

Nonetheless we recognize that many of ourstakeholders use FE exam pass rates as a quality measure of our Department despite evidence inthe literature of its limited value at the program level.5 Historically our FE exam pass rate has lagged both the national rate and that of ourCarnegie classification-based comparator group.

similar ideas as presented here. One successful aspect of the experiment is that the 3Dmodel provides a more authentic emulation of real-world engineering practice. Students mayperuse the views and orbit the model in 3D to understand the nature of the problem. This type ofengagement, inquiry, and discovery is typically not possible in traditional paper exams.Additionally, by modeling the context in 3D, the exam designer is forced to fully develop theproblem in a way that is not typically done for an on-paper exam. For example, consider theunusual cross-section. The unconventional shape was strategically chosen to limit students’ability to use online moment of inertia solvers during the take-home exam.

the United Statesmust bring added value and higher-level skills including innovation, a problem solving approach,and leadership to garner higher salary jobs in U.S. companies. The call from various technicalreports on engineering education demands that U.S. higher education institutions produce thiskind of engineers. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for reforming and enhancing engineeringeducation to address these needs. This reform effort is best served through a merging of engi-neering education with best practices in educational psychology.
