We note that within the program, the first major increase in self-determined level of confidence for students was between their introduction to the program andthe completion on the first workshop on that specific subject.

Their job is tochoose an activity booth (Step 1), design a poster for it (Step 2), and “market test” the posterwith a focus group (Step 3). Students then choose either positive (“I like…”) or negativefeedback (“I don’t like…”) (Step 4) from each of three characters (see Figure 3.B). After readingthe feedback (Step 5), students can choose to revise (Step 6) or submit their poster (Step 7).Upon submission, students can see their booth’s “ticket sales” reflecting the quality of theirposter design. There are three rounds of posters to design, thus nine opportunities to choosepositive or negative feedback. The key measure is whether the students choose

For us, the context is engineering education. In its  simplest form, gender reflects the set of characteristics, behaviors, and practices that we think ofas “feminine” or “masculine” – characteristics that any individual biological male or female mayor may not embody.Race, like gender, is not a biological category but a social one.

noted that the number of questions and responsesin each dimension were identical. The composite score shows that while students report feelingmore able and motivated to perform engineering design, and less apprehensive about doing so,they remain no more convinced that they will be successful in completing the task (p = 0.888, d= 0.012, N=84 for success). This is in contrast to students to first-year students in a very similarimmersive project-based design class taught by us, who showed significant gains in thesuccessful dimension over the course of a single semester [11]. This may reflect a limitation ofthe skills-focused approach; students do not see the end product of a design experience. Table 2: Gain and in loss in dimensions of engineering

The reason: oncea program is accepted by an institution, it tends to continue and does not have to be “re-sold”year after year. Finally, the institution is able to track progress and get more involved in a cohortprogram by its very nature. Since all students are from the same institution, its needs can be moreaccurately reflected in the choice of courses, and they can be assured that all students haveexperienced the same subject matter delivery.

of assessment involves both the long-term reflections of students about theirlearning experiences, and capturing what they learn into some persisting structure. A methodthat has gained considerable acceptance among assessment analysts is the use of e-portfolios. 22 Page 15.736.7Students will be introduced to e-portfolios in one of the core communication courses in their firstyear, with it being periodically updated over the course of their studies. The obvious positiveresults of using e-portfolios are that the progress of students can be evaluated over time, and thatthe students themselves have an awareness of the continuity of their studies
