The consequence of the generality of ABET'sspecifications and the associated flexibility in operationalizing EC2000’s Criterion 3 learningoutcomes led to the emergence of a wide array of items, scales, and instruments for assessingstudent performance on one or more of the criteria. Few, if any, of these measures, however,appear to have been developed

.”using prior knowledge: Some students expressed that they did not look solely at the informationin the problem, but also looked to prior knowledge that might help them. Jose felt that your levelof prior knowledge affected how you might answer a question. “I know, because I have seen theword maybe a thousand times by now…But if we bring [in] someone that [does] not…know[s]anything about the problem, this would not be enough information.” For Alice, the ability to useknowledge is a key component of critical thinking: “I had to really like, reach in and kind of pullout something that maybe wasn’t right on the paper. And when you have to like go through yourfiling cabinet of stuff, then that would be a lot more critical.” Mike saw critical thinking
Professor in the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University. He received his Ph.D. in 1973 from the University of Oklahoma. Dr. Lawson' s research centers on the nature and development of scientific reasoning patterns such as hypothetico-deductive, probabilistic, proportional, combinatorial, analogical and correlational reasoning. Major interests involve determination of factors that influence the development of these reasoning patterns during childhood and adolescence and determination of their relationship to each other and to scientific concept acquisition.

Is this DFW rate improvement most closely related to the gradual improvement in the Freeform environment or instructor characteristics as (s)he implements the course environment?The authors hypothesize that the likelihood of DFW would drop in each year following theinception of Freeform as the new environment is institutionalized as the standard for ME 274and as instructors add and enhance the ABC components of Freeform (RQ2). Moreover, as anygiven instructor becomes comfortable with the environment and more confident and strategicabout their implementation of the course, the likelihood of student success would also increase.However, over the same time period for Dynamics at

The complete assessment consisted of eight stages and a measure of solution accuracy.Next, the assessment tool was modified into a form that could be used to assess problemsolutions in the absence of a complete recording of the problem solving process. This ensures atool that is more generalizable to the target user group of instructors and education researcherswho would not necessarily have access to a complete digital recording of student problemsolving attempts. To accomplish this, the first two of Pretz et al.’s stages were combined forsimplicity, and two stages were eliminated due
Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, the Kruskal-Wallis test does not identify whichsample(s) are not taken from the same population of data. However, inspection of Tables 2-5 andthe underlying data shows that the courses that were taught in a face-to-face format in Fall 2020received lower evaluation scores in Fall 2019. This is also consistent with the Wilcoxon SignedRank Test results, which showed that the face-to-face courses were the only courses where someof the scores showed statistically significant improvement from Fall 2019 to Fall 2020. Incontrast, some of the scores for courses taught in other modes of instruction in Fall 2020 showedstatistically significant decreases between Fall 2019 and Fall 2020.

We are also optimistic that these two courses are moving in theright direction as both instructors are methodically refining their redesign strategies, which theywill continue to implement this semester and in future semesters. Our goal is to continue ourefforts in both courses and hope to find the right formula for improving them – especially theDFW rate in Engineering Statics – as we move ahead with the project. We look forward toreporting our complete results at the conference in June as well the direction of futureengineering course redesign efforts at Temple University.ReferencesAmbrose, S. A
