techniques in academic areassuch as writing/composition, science education, and geography instruction. The areas of designand technology have proven to be especially effective topics for ACJ assessment, and are ofspecial interest to the authors.This introductory paper examines the fundamental principles of comparative judging andadaptive comparative judging, and discusses some of the most recent and relevant research onthis topic. Key web-based ACJ tools and products are briefly reviewed—especially as they relateto academic settings. Applications in the areas of portfolio evaluation, graphics assessment, andpeer critiquing are also explored.Adaptive comparative judging has proven to be a method or assessment tool that is relativelystraightforward to

the general ideathat active involvement by students and collaborative learning (e.g. team-based learning, peer-learning, and peer tutorial) would produce higher levels of professional skill development. Thebody of research investigating how best to educate 21st century engineering technology studentsto meet ABET’s 11 competencies has grown over the last two decades but opportunities to add tothe body of knowledge are still present and needed (Bjorklund, Parente, & Sathianathan, 2004,Turner, 2015).This paper describes a case study in which a small sample of senior engineering technologystudents were exposed to a design course that consisted of industry supplied curriculum (i.e.SOLIDWORKS guide) and a team project. In the context of this

learner.Constructivist theory assumes that knowledge is constructed by learners as attempts to make senseof experiences.The role of teachers, as per Driscoll [16] is to allow learners to test their own understandingsagainst those of teachers or more advanced peers. The learner’s sense of their environment andtheir experiences must have some limits. The limits are constructed in the form of suggestions andguidelines from teachers and more advanced peers.Method in Teaching Design and Drafting Course (EGT212) Using Modified ConstructivistApproach 1. Start with the construct and drive at the theory (for example, a project comprising the design of a component, depicting one cross section):  Step 1: Identify the Course: EGT212 – Computer Aided Design
