The assessment instruments are modified by changing thequestions to reflect the student’s use of OWLS according to the recommendations by Jones14 inorder to test specifically how use of the OWLS by engineering students impacts their motivationlevels. The questions based on the MUSIC model are being used in the spring 2015 assessments. Quantitative data and analysis (discussed later in the Data Analysis section) results instatistics that provide insights and answers to the research questions in this study. However

Nearly twotimes as many students learn best through sensory input (65%) versus intuition (35%).The preference in the visual-verbal pairing is more skewed, nearly five times the numberof students have a preference for visual learning (83%) versus verbal learning (17%).Lastly, for every student who learns best by reflecting on material (13%), there are almostseven who prefer active learning (87%). These results are similar to past ILS studies ofenvironmental engineering students5. Clearly, a lecture-based course would not be idealfor these students. These results are not a call to

In otherwords, the responses of the alumni is likely biased by the personal relationship with theauthor, and therefore the results reflect a combination of both the views of the alumni onmastery learning as well as the views of the alumni on the author (i.e., some alumni mayseek to provide a “positive” response in hopes of “pleasing” the author).Of the ten alumni: 1) seven were male and three were female; 2) the ages ranged from 22to 26 years of age; 3) all were employed in the practice of engineering; and 4) all

Given that enrollments do not reflect jobopportunities, the role that image has on enrollments in the environmental engineering major isworth exploring.9The general image that something presents to the public is in part the picture that comes to mindframed by its definition. The environmental engineering discipline does not have a uniformlyaccepted definition. In one sense an argument could be made that this permits maximumflexibility in describing the profession to others. In another sense, as long as the inclusion of theterm “environmental” remains popular for advertisement purposes, the lack of a commondefinition “allows everyone who works

to allow greater studentparticipation. Although, some scholars say that such a method puts forth a completely differentapproach to college education compared to a traditional lecture format (Midgley, 2002). Therefore, it is important to assess the students’ learning capabilities and not just his/hermemory (Brown & Cooper, 1976). In other words, assessment of learning is not a third-partyresearch project or someone’s questionnaire; it must be viewed as a community effort or nothing,driven by a faculty's own commitment to reflect, judge, and improve (Marchese, 1991 & 1997).
