Thus, the following research question guided this portion of the research study: • What do engineering educators take into consideration when making teaching-related decisions?As part of our research, we have chosen to use a qualitative interview approach to understandengineering educators’ teaching-related decision making. We focus our first analysis on half ofthe dataset (10 interviews), in order to identify hypotheses and themes that can be tested againstthe rest of the dataset.

The current semester studentsspent less time preparing for each class and yet they either improved or had no statistical changefor their grade on three of the four exams. This answers the second research question that theirstudying efficiency did improve as a result of their self-assessment.Test grades are the best surrogate of student learning but overall performance in a class does notindicate whether or not individual students learned the material better throughout the semester.Moreover, the above

These subtle opportunities are documented in the paper.ABET criterion and outcomes used to evaluate engineering and engineering technologyprograms now emphasize the use of standards, especially in the design process. This is a newchallenge for the engineering educator. Given that new engineering educators teach theirstudents about standards, it is necessary to become familiar with available information that mayhelp students as well as typical best practices for academic libraries. Acquiring access tostandards is the first step in using standards. The next step is to acquire skill and learn how tocritically read and apply them.The literature

Indeed, these engineers have been working in the field and have had the chanceto explore the best for their career prospects. Hence, preferring MBA reflects that engineers arein need of some management-related skills. At the same time, both students (53%) and engineers(44%) believe that they cannot endure 5 years of studies. Such observation is seen asdiscouraging and may impede the process of enrolling in PhD programs. Table1
