The goal of the STEM initiative was 1) to give undergraduate students in the Robotscourse a service-learning opportunity by participating as mentors to middle school students;and 2) to introduce middle school students to the basics of robotics. The specific course learning outcomes are i) understand how robotic systems integratesensors, actuators, and control systems to achieve specific goals; ii) program Arduinomicrocontrollers and apply skills to develop an integrated robotic systems; iii) understand howdifferent type of motors such as stepper motors, dc motors work and measure and control theirspeed to build a robot that can navigate; iv

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 An Educational Tool to Support Introductory Robotics Courses With the rising popularity of robotics in our modern world there is an increase in the numberof engineering programs that do not have the resources to purchase expensive dedicated robotsbut find a need to offer a basic course in robotics. This common introductory robotics coursegenerally covers the fundamental theory of robotics including robot kinematics, dynamics,differential movements, trajectory planning and basic computer vision algorithms commonlyused in the field of robotics. The nature of this material almost necessitates the use of robotichardware to allow the students to practice implementing the theory they

Tennessee atChattanooga--that this positive evaluation took place in the first semester in which the new criteriawere effective is regarded as particularly notable. While an earlier version of this work describedthis process as a partially implemented strategy [1], the plan has now been completely detailed,implemented, and validated by the ABET visit which found no shortcomings. This paper describesthe assessment processes, along with the two-year cycle of the assessment schedule, and givesexamples of assessment artifacts and rubrics. The paper also describes some common assessmenterrors and misconceptions, and recommendations on how to avoid them.

This course was offered to students for the first time in the summer of 2016,and though formal feedback collection was limited, informal feedback indicated that studentsfound the course to be challenging, engaging, and beneficial to their overall understanding ofengineering.The paper walks the reader through the background of this course. It then discusses the weeklylesson plans, supplemental material provided to the students, and our general strategy forteaching the course's programming and system design concepts in such an accelerated timeframe.

Based on ourinterest in examining how this department constructs engineering identity in its documentaryartifacts, we focused on two specific types of documents: internal documents and public-facingdocuments. Public-facing documents analyzed included outreach information on the universitywebsite about the department and the three majors, transfer plans from state community colleges,graduation/curricular requirements, and plans of study. Internal documents included ABET self-study reports for each of the three programs. Some documents we included blurred the linesbetween public and internal, such as the college and department strategic plans.

. Anticipating and acting on future developments would enable engineeringprograms to prepare, but there is little consensus on its future in 10 years. IEEE created aCurricula and Pedagogy committee (CPC) and charged it to forecast the future of ECEeducation and to make recommendations regarding roles that IEEE will play in preparing forand crafting that future. As an initial step, the committee engaged in a scenario planningexercise1,2,3,4 to consider possible trends in engineering education. Then, the committeedeveloped and administered a survey to confirm and revise trends that emerged from scenarioplanning. With over 2100 respondents, these survey results can inform conversations aboutthe future of ECE education. Results of the scenario planning

Provide students with literature addressing team dynamics, project planning, etc. Students are very good at focusing on the task at hand and performing research on their topic of interest, but many have not yet recognized the necessity of addressing these other issues, or even realized that there is a methodical approach to working on a team with diverse personalities, work habits and skill sets.Project planning:Students need to engage immediately with mapping out their project and projecting it out tocompletion. Again, it is important for advisors to acknowledge immediately the factors thattraditionally trip up teams: 1. Not enough research and brainstorming in the beginning

Theprocess ran throughout January and February and was nearly a full-time effort. After February,we have continued to work on the plan we developed (to create a new division at ASEE to bringsome structure and support to MOHS pedagogy). There was also a one day workshop at ASEE inwhich the 9 pilot groups presented to help educate and recruit the next cohorts.

Furthermore, a set of rubrics is used for each PI so that the raters employconsistent criteria when an article from the same student is being evaluated. Action itemsgenerated from different raters are then summarized as a report and feedback to the programdirector or chair to take corrective actions for improvement. The program director or chair maythen choose to disseminate or generate sub-action items for faculty to act on or to change thecurriculum as a result. This multi-rater methodology is adopted by BlackBoard® [16].Augmented with the above is the assessment plan. The assessment

Others expanded this notion into an assessment square focused on clearlydefining the construct of interest, the means to assess the construct, the observation or evidencecollected through that means, and the interpretation of the evidence collected [49, 50].
