offered EngD. Many schools steer students who are not in astate-approved career and technology program and are unsuccessful taking a foreign languageinto the advanced technology education graduation option and choose to offer ATA which is notas rigorous as EngD to maximize their chances of success. On the other extreme, some schoolsoffer a more advanced Engineering Design and Research course and others offer Project LeadThe Way pre-engineering curriculum. With the new articulation option available, more schoolsare expected to offer EngD starting in 2015 as evidenced by the enrollment of as many as 13teachers in the summer 2015 EngD training.Professional Development for School CounselorsThe GET ET grant Co-Principal Investigator, who is CCBC’s

Page 26.200.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 An Introductory Study of the Impact of Implementation Intentions onAssignment Completion Rates with an Emphasis on Engineering Technology StudentsIntroduction and Literature ReviewFaculty at our university have grown frustrated with low completion rates on homeworkassignments. While often a low percentage of the students’ grade, such practice is especiallyimportant for the quantitative courses that make up much of the engineering technologycurriculum. What if there was a simple way to significantly increase the percentage of studentscompleting their homework assignments, with little effort on the part of the

a lab experience. The new labfacility would allow EET 3373 and EET 4373 to be revised and enhanced to make the coursesappropriate for both ECE and EET students. Students from both disciplines would benefit fromusing the most current PLC technology and would have the opportunity to interface the PLC’swith a new and much expanded set of digital and analog devices that are used in industry. Inaddition, the new equipment will allow us to develop industry-relevant learning materials, andprovide state-of the-art knowledge and experience to students utilizing the facility. Thisknowledge and experience will result in a well-educated graduate with practical hands-onexperience designing, configuring, and troubleshooting industrial control systems

professional engineering environment [11]. All other opportunities provide“at best, a simulation of engineering practices” [11, p. 2].Program Outcomes A student’s completion of coursework requirements is no longer the primary measure foracademic success; it is now measured by achievement of program learning outcomes [5].Assessment on achievement of learning outcomes has been adopted as a method to evaluateoverall program effectiveness and improve student learning. Program outcomes provideexpectations for the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) that students should possess bycompletion of their undergraduate program. Proficiency in these KSA is vital to future successfor graduating students [4]. The ABET Criterion 3 (a-k) Student Learning

ability to best a weak player in a computer game builds confidenceamong freshmen. Freshman retention increased to 55% for the Fall 2012 semester, 15% to 24% greater than prior years. One significantfactor in this increase is the implementation of these programs. However, other factors may have affected retention as well,though the impact is believed to be minor. Two known factors include transposition of the order of teaching for two chaptersin the circuits book and the normal year to year variation between groups of students. The chapter transposition is believed tohave had minimal impact, though we lack definitive data to confirm that conclusion. The year to year variation in retentionrates for prior fall semesters was in the range of 10

have an ability to identify, analyze andsolve technical problems. In addition, CET program specific requirements include that graduatesbe capable of utilizing principles, hardware, and software that are appropriate to producedrawings, reports, quantity estimates, and other documents related to civil engineering. Otherrequirements call for graduates to be capable of applying basic technical concepts to thesolutions of civil problems as well as performing standard analysis and design in at least threeareas.The CET program as a whole is expected to meet the above criteria with contribution from thedifferent courses offered. Integrating GPS and the Civil 3D software into CET courses isbelieved to be a step to help achieve the above mentioned ABET

there are actually many other possibilitiesbeyond the time-honored combination of assignments, midterms, and finals. Instructors need toponder this thought and ask themselves “is the traditional method of delivering course contentwith the use of mid-terms and finals really the best way to have students learn?”The Method 2, discussed in this paper has been used in a limited way for one of the programs inthe Engineering and Design Department. A review will be conducted to assess its impact and Page 26.830.11value for both students and the instructors.Bibliography1. American Mathematical Society. (2012). Balancing Faculty Workload.

Assessmentcourse, a great deal of emphasis is placed on Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) techniques.PRA (also known as probabilistic safety assessment) is used to predict the future behavior ofprocesses generally in terms of likelihood and outcome (severity). PRA has been used to assessthe designs of high hazard, complex, low risk systems (such as chemical manufacturing plantsand nuclear power plants). PRA examines events that contribute to adverse outcomes through theuse of event tree analysis and determines the likelihood of event occurrence through fault treeanalysis.4.3 Establishing and Upgrading LaboratoriesIt is believed that technology concepts are best learnt with hands-on activities. Students areattracted to practical-oriented courses and

Leaning Management System (LMS)LMSs such as Canvas®, aTutor®, Blackboard®, Desire2Learn®, Moodle®, eCollege®, amongothers can be of great aid in active learning as it can be used to guide students to take a moreactive role in their learning. LMSs have a large number of functionality including: course contentdelivery (for self-service and self-guided services), portability, content personalization,reporting, tracking, grading, etc. It is a key mechanism for e-learning in colleges and universitiesworldwide. The practicability to allow course material delivery to be accessed by students at anyplace and time makes LMS strategically useful in active learning. LMS
