While discussing the selection of an appropriate evaluationmethod, I will also discuss some of the topics that do NOT lend themselves to timed tests. Suggestions onalternative methods of evaluation for those topics will be offered.This paper will focus on how to prepare good True/False and Multiple Choice questions to test knowledge andskill. It will also present a simplified version of the method psychometricians use to evaluate the quality of thesetypes of exam questions for both difficulty and discrimination. Since many engineering and technology questionsinvolve calculations, a test evaluation method that works for me will be discussed. This

positive teaching experience for the new teacher, and better learning environment andeducation for the students.IntroductionMany new as well as experienced teachers of engineering, science, and technology in collegesand universities often struggle with the teaching component of their jobs. This can be veryfrustrating as these individuals see themselves as highly-intelligent, well-accomplished peoplewho understand the material that they are attempting to teach to students—often undergraduatestudents. When the teaching struggles result in (a) poor teaching evaluations by the students or(b) a significant reduction of time spent developing his or her research program, the teachingproblems can reduce the chances of the faculty member gaining tenure.

We were also interestedin obtaining a broader understanding of how students felt about their experience with STEMhomework assignments at the university level. Getting a comprehensive understanding of students’perspectives about STEM homework could provide insight into how all members of the STEMcommunity could work to make the experience better, which could lead to deeper learning,stronger connections, and increased excitement in students about their STEM

eye of skepticism. There are many articles in the Journal of Engineering Educationreferencing research projects attempting to answer whether active learning techniques areeffective. The magic is not in the use of the technique but rather all learning is made possible bythe learner making sense of the content for themselves. The techniques, if successfullyemploying the theories and research from the sciences of learning and teaching, are just tools tohelp facilitate greater student learning. The traditional manner by which we teach with lectureand individualized homework sets is largely a cultural artifact of when behaviorism was theleading philosophy explaining how people learn.
