The Peer Mentor Surveycontained a total of 59 items to assess the following aspects of the Peer Mentor Program: (a) PeerMentor training and experience (7 items); (b) resources available to the Peer Mentors (3 items);(d) the nature and frequency of Peer Mentor interaction with students (38 items) and faculty andstaff (3 items); and (e) and an assessment of key

(1997), which specifically focuses on engineering education,only three categories of faculty conceptions of teaching are used: ≠ Teacher-centered, ≠ Student-directing, ≠ Student-centered.Cited most frequently, the ‘student-directing’ category describes a faculty member’s desire toencourage student

attitudes that were stressed during theacademic year.In conclusion, this study indicates that technical team experiences seem to lead to apositive increase in student’s attitudes and perceptions of teams and group work. Thesepositive changes were seen overall, in learning objectives and theoretically basedcategorizations of group concepts, and, in most cases, at the individual statement level.As communication and team skills become increasingly important in the modern world,these team experiences may become a vital part of engineering education.References:1 www.abet.org.

“outside” columns and working inward – for each criterion, first establish thehighest standard level, then the lowest standard level, and then fill in the middle level(s). Thisstyle of rubric can become more cumbersome to construct as the number of standards increases.It has been suggested to design rubrics with an even number of standards to avoid a “middle”option during evaluation.We have developed the rubrics for our Engineering 101 course by focusing only on two columnswithin the rubric, describing only the highest quality level (which earns full credit, an A grade)and the minimum acceptable quality level (which earns credit roughly equivalent to a C or C-grade). The other columns in the rubric are effectively left blank, but with a deliberate

component of evaluating team reports was in distinguishing betweenintuitive perception(s) versus actual application of the PE framework. For nearly every team, ifexpected results were reported, the reasoning behind these expectations were rarely discussed.When it appeared that an element had been correctly applied, it was often times unclear if thiswas a result of actual application of the PE framework rather than instinctively addressed. Thisoccurrence was most common when students were discussing their methodology (Why did you“use two people to operate the compass”? Why did you decide to “create 90o segments for yourvectors”?) It is essential that students understand that application of the critical thinkingstandards also applies to

Outcome FrequencyIntroductionFirst-year programs nationwide typically feature an introductory curriculum featuring a semesteror yearlong “Introduction to Engineering” course or sequence. Examining a number of thesecourses shows that the content can vary significantly. For example, one course could focus onMATLAB programming while another course could emphasize technical communication. Mostcourses are a combination of these topics to varying degrees; therefore, an NSF-sponsoredproject to classify these courses was conducted which resulted in the First-Year Introduction toEngineering Course Classification Scheme.1 This taxonomy allows programs or instructors toquantify the content of their course(s) using the scheme. As a result, the scheme has

We suggest defining as “readiness” thepersonal attribute characterizing ability to make transition from one educational level to another.While introducing the term “readiness” we shall try to avoid a misunderstanding because thesame term is used for one of the principles in the theory of learning. There are eight principles:readiness, exercise, effect, primacy, recency, intensity, freedom, and requirement in this theory.In this context readiness is a psychology term that means a degree of concentration andeagerness of a student. It is obvious that a student will study better if s/he is ready to learn notonly
