initiative started. There were suggestions to do mini-conferences,bring in nationally-known speakers in the area, or have campus meetings to discussteaching topics. Little action was taken.At the annual ASEE Campus meeting in October, 2010, a committee was formed underthe title of ‘ASEE Dissemination Group’ and given a charge to develop an engineering-education based event, which could be a seminar, workshop, or discussion. Fourcommittee members met to make definite plans. The committee first decided that ourmain considerations would be that presentations should come from College ofEngineering faculty, to help ensure that the topics and discussion pertain to engineering,engineering technology, math and physics, and that all presentations should
relate to the professional development of graduate engineering students and to leadership, policy, and change in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. Primary research projects explore the preparation of engineering doctoral students for careers in academia and industry and the development of engineering education assessment tools. She is a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career (CA- REER) award winner and is a recipient of a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE).

/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

informal study groups. In follow upinterviews and focus groups, students also chose to discuss their experiences in study groups(83%) or lab groups (82%) but also commented frequently on their participation in professionalsocieties. Of these students, most (87%) found benefit in participating in these groups, and amajority of the students (72%) felt that they benefitted in ways related to operating within thegroup as an integral part of the team. Most students stressed the social learning provided by thegroup as compared to a single individual working alone.IntroductionABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) requires that every undergraduateengineering student is active in teams (either formed by faculty or self-assembled) at
