] Criterion Description Amount of Mixing There should be nontrivial, meaningful mixing in a mixed methods publication, else the study would be better classified as multi-method. This criterion spotlights methodologists’ attention to integration in mixed methods research [see 1]. Interpretive Interpretive comprehensiveness refers to how the researcher(s) Comprehensiveness engage different perspectives in their study. This can be accomplished throughout the design by picking extreme or negative cases, testing competing hypotheses, and
ability tocreate code in a specific language. In the following sections, a brief introduction tophenomenography, a description of the study exploring student understanding of conditional andrepetition structures, and the results of the study are presented. The final section discusses howthese results can be utilized in the development of an assessment instrument as well as what stillneeds to be done in order to reach the final destination.Phenomenography as a Research MethodologyPhenomenography is an educational research method developed in the early 1980’s by a researchgroup in the Department of Education at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden18. It arose outof work exploring the ways that students experienced learning, approached their

He is also a Senior Lecturer in The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering. Dr. Stickel first came to the Faculty when he started as an undergraduate in 1993. Since that time, he has completed his BASc (1997), MASc (1999), and a PhD (2006) — all with a focus on electromagnetics and the development of novel devices for high
connected, writing therefore needs to be taught by members of the discipline.Effective oral or written communication continues to be an important part of the engineeringcurriculum across the globe. Because of internet availability, all forms of communication havegained popularity. However, quality has been replaced by casual or short-hand version ofcommunication. A few years ago, the state of Utah took an initiative to improve students’ skillsin mathematics, reading, and writing. Initially, the funding supported creative programs forstudents in the K-12 curriculum. In the late 1990’s the state decided to begin an EngineeringInitiative program to support STEM related fields of study throughout schools, colleges, anduniversities. The program was
1.0, and are consistently less than the homework / exam ratios in the same classes.The authors believe that this study provides a good basis of data that supports the quiz-only ideaproposed by researchers at other universities. In the future, data from additional undergraduatebasic engineering courses and major-related courses will be incorporated to help further validatethis methodology. In addition, correlating this data to results observed on standardized tests suchas the FE exam may shed additional light on the effectiveness of a quiz-only approach forstudent learning.References: 1.

At recent engineering educationconferences (e.g. Best Assessment Processes in Engineering Education Symposiums, ASEE, FIE)the number of evolving approaches for evaluating engineering programs, as well asmethodologies for measuring various student outcomes is growing more rich. Yet, severaltroublesome issues still remain. First, most of these “assessment” methods had not been fullyevaluated. Second, many focus on final products via performance appraisals particular to theoutcome(s) using rubrics as the assessment tool. Third, many engineering administrators stillvoiced concerns about the costs associated with organizing, implementing and maintaining aneffective assessment program, given limited resources of time, people (i.e. raters), and
