Likewise, driven by thegrowth in scope of the problems, the technology to handle big problems has blossomed. Thecapacity of disk drives continues to expand as does the data density: the ability to store moredata in a smaller space. Search algorithms are increasing in speed and allow retrieval ofmore data in less time. Overall storage space and processing is readily available at low cost. Courses in structured engineering design teach students to analyze existing products anddesigns (literature search).3 Students taking more advanced training in Computer-aidedEngineering (CAE) learn to merge design and analysis in

: What Do They Promise And How Can They Be Used?IntroductionStudent portfolios have been listed as a possible means of assessment under the basic levelaccreditation criteria for ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)Engineering Criteria 2000. Since then, engineering educators and researchers have started to useportfolios in their teaching and are trying to explore the potentials of portfolios. Various effortshave focused on using portfolios in engineering instruction and the results of those efforts havebeen reported in the engineering education literature. This research provides educators usefulinformation on how to use or adopt portfolios efficiently in their classrooms.However, because of the diversity of the efforts to

Some institutions had extensive resources online; for theseinstitutions we focused on the 1-2 programs that we felt were most relevant and useful toengineering faculty and graduate students. Our search was limited to institutions in the UnitedStates and we did not profile any K-12 teacher education programs that require pre-serviceteachers to create teaching portfolios. We realize that future research about teaching portfolioactivities available to engineering faculty, graduate students and post-docs could includecontacting teaching and learning centers, as well as other campus units at specific institutions tofind out about teaching portfolio activities

Grading student work is one of these new tasks that we all have to undertake.While grading is often a tedious and time consuming task, it is important for students to receive afair assessment of their work accompanied by constructive feedback. Like many aspects ofengineering, grading can be thought of as an
