Our evaluationcomplements other studies on media-based instruction and student engagement. Cohen et al1found that students learned more from such instruction modes compared to conventional modesof instruction. Powell et al2 also explored this topic and found that such instructional modes hadthe effect of raising the GPAs of the students. Furthermore, Chen et al3 found that enhancingstudent engagement is an essential approach for improving student retention, success andoutcomes.A midterm project was assigned where the class was randomly divided by the professor intoseveral groups (3-4

These lines should be thinner because 1200 dpi laser printing can resolve much finer detail than a standard LCD projector. Slides are designed to be legible from the back of a lecture hall, whereas handouts are designed to be legible from half an arm’s length. 3.

interpreting evidence todetermine how well performance matches established learning expectations [1]. In engineering,learning-outcome assessment usually occurs during the course of teaching, with studentperformance on homework assignments, examinations, and projects providing evidence of thelevel of learning. The instructor interprets this evidence to judge a student’s learning progressand then assigns a course grade that reflects this judgment. Although this assessment processcould act as an incentive for learning, its primary purpose is to measure the level of a student’slearning, not reinforce learning.

may not affect a student’s moral reasoning, it does increase theirsensitivity or awareness to ethical dilemmas, including some norms of professional practice.Second, the material should integrate various aspects of engineering curricula. In this way,ethics is not viewed as something distinct from engineering, but as part of the problem-solving process. Integrating ethics in the learning experience does not necessarily mean in aclassroom setting. One possibility is to use service learning (engineering projects in non-profitorganizations or needy areas) to promote understanding of ethical dilemmas and the potentialimpact of technology. Finally, in order to reinforce the material, it should be provided atmultiple points in the curriculum.There
