Classmates andcolleagues inexperienced with design are unfamiliar with this style of development, such assketching ideas, making mock-ups, producing engineering and illustrative graphics, creatingmodels of a project, and problem solving methodologies applied. A specific area of difficultyexperienced by many students in this environment is honest verbal and written critique of ideasfor fear of criticism.

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 WIP: Faculty Development and Instructional Design Through a Quality Matters Tool for Online and Hybrid Course AssessmentAbstractInstitutional assessment has become increasingly important for quality assurance as coursedelivery methods hybridize and instructors leverage diverse online tools within LearningManagement Systems (LMSs). Educators face multiple challenges while teaching variations ofdelivery methods in their courses. Some of the challenges are course content design, learningnew technologies and LMSs, and effective communication. However, instructors, particularlyjunior faculty, are rarely included in detailed individual-level course
/quizzes include the slow response rate for students and the tediousness for instructors.Summative assessments in the form of tests and exams are not sufficient measures of students’understanding and application of knowledge 1-2. Students need continuous formative assessmentsto monitor their learning by actively evaluating their level of understanding. Additionally, thereis the present need to satisfy the dynamic technology-based demands of current engineeringstudents.In an attempt to address these challenges, a web-based audience response system was employedin an introductory engineering course at a large, land-grant university in the mid-Atlantic region.This introductory course is offered in multiple sections in the first-year engineering
