Faculty of engineeringtechnology departments working on assessment should keep in mind the relationship with qualitycontrol in order to evaluate resources, costs, goals and other hidden details of assessment.Assessment of outcomes became a critical activity for engineering departments in 2000 whenABET changed their traditional requirements for accreditation to outcomes-based which requiresassessment of learning outcomes (or quality control).

Should we be limiting the pool of teachers, and focusing on research mindedindividuals at a time when practicing engineers and construction companies are asking for morepractical, business-minded employees.The engineering industry needs two types of engineers: theoreticians who focus on research andinvestigating and advancing new ideas, and practicioners who implement new design criteria andbring products to market.

. Page 13.958.85. DiscussionIn light of the above assessment results and student feedback, our initial LF adaptation wasmodified. The modification was made to address two themes that clearly arose from theevaluations and feedback from focus groups, namely: to allow students more time to carry outthe required machining tasks, and to expose students to additional manufacturing processes. Withthis in mind, the product made by the students was changed from a model engine to the modelmachine vise shown in Figure 2. The vise entails simpler machining work while still exposingstudents to the same types of hands-on operations. The simplified project can therefore becompleted in less time and the balance of the time used to give students more hands

While similar studies conducted in the past concentrated on non-engineering courses1,3,9,10,12,13, this project focuses entirely on courses taken by engineeringtechnology students. The objective is to determine if class attendance really leads to bettergrades.
