student led presentation. It would to be nice if each student could present more than once in the semester with a different team member. It was a good learning experience. I wish you could do it twice a week! • I am a busy grad student and didn’t have time to devote 20+ hours to one presentation. Time guidelines for the project may help future students have an idea of how much time is expected to be spend on this. [My team mate and I] had very different views on how much time each task would require, which caused some issues, I think. Good – I really learned that material and felt confident about the concepts. • Students can be given the choice to select team

A recent United Nations report projects that virtually everynation will face a water supply problem within the next 8 years; currently more than a billionpeople have little access to clean drinking water, and 2 billion live in conditions of waterscarcity2. To address these critical issues, the NAE’s “The Engineer of 2020” highlights the needfor implementing ecologically sustainable practices to preserve the environment for futuregenerations. Further, the report emphasizes that water supplies will affect the future of theworld’s economy and stability3. As a result, the NAE warns that unless better ways to

This suggests that themost stable impact of the studio-based learning environment is the impact it has on students’views of Task Value. Unfortunately, the stable impact of the new instructional technique yieldeda decrease in students’ perceptions of the class’ Task Value. However, even Task Value scoreswere found to vary as a function of Major, Race, and Gender. This suggests that these TaskValue scores, as well as those from other scales, must be evaluated in light of the demographiccharacteristics of the students who provide those scores.Qualitative DataAs part of the overall research for this project, all participants were asked to complete a series of50 qualitative

Specifically, we provide a matrix of 22concrete ILOs for WSP literacy, as well as two different approaches to assessing (some of) themin engineering education. We expect that engineering educators will find these ILOs andassessment strategies valuable for adopting a constructive alignment approach for WSP literacyin their teaching.Study overviewThe study reported on in this paper is a collaborative action research project in which theresearchers have worked together with different groups of interested engineering educators tomake sense of previous empirical research about engineering students

Provide an educational innovator with a measure for testing the effectiveness of the innovation, without having to invent and validate a new one. 2. Provide a potential adopter the same measure to test the effectiveness in their institutional context. 3. Add credibility to the entire project by facilitating the validation and transferability of the innovation by providing a resource for all adopters to use. 4. Enable both the innovator and the adopter to publish the classroom experiment results

First-year engineering courses cover a variety of learningobjectives that address both technical and professional outcomes outlined in ABET. Thesecourses also often involve open-ended design and modeling projects. The assessment of multiplecompetencies along with open-ended design can be a challenging task for educators.

The most relevant is case-based teaching toencourage students to apply ethical codes in courses of their later years9. Other authors suggestthat ethical teaching can be linked with team methodologies around project design12. Thiscollective approach facilitates the assessment of the understanding of important norms anddecision making processes, which could be a difficult aspect to assess individually. In spite of the differences that may exist among disciplines or countries, all engineeringethical codes share certain core values.

collaborative learning is not directly relevant to our approach since thekinds of activities considered in much of that work, e.g., team projects in capstone design coursesas well as in several of the systems listed above do not, for the most part, involve students in ateam trying to resolve cognitive conflicts. Indeed, students in such teams often go out of their wayto not criticize the ideas offered by other members of the team for fear of offending them. Morerelevant for us is the work on the role of argumentation in learning. But, as Driver et al.
