: An Analysis of First Year Engineering StudentsAbstractThis work-in-progress research paper addresses issues related to the measurement of teameffectiveness. The study is motivated by recent changes in the ABET Criterion 3 accreditationguidelines, which state that students are mandated to demonstrate "an ability to functioneffectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative andinclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives." In addition to ABET,the use of teams in engineering education has become a widespread pedagogical tool to facilitatethe learning of technical content, as well as to prepare students for professional practice. Thus,having the ability to

We then describe the Model of Educational Productivity as a frameworkfor studying student, instructional, and environmental factors that may influence conceptual understanding and dis-cuss results from previous studies that suggest additional influencing factors. Finally, we present our planned mixedmethods approach, consisting of an exploratory qualitative stage to identify possible factors that influence conceptualunderstanding, a quantitative analysis to measure understanding and these factors, and an explanatory qualitative phaseto add depth to our quantitative results.

This diversity is reflected in the student population thatapplies for admission into the ESM program. Many ESM students have a physics background,others have a more traditional engineering background, and, more recently, we have studentswith bioengineering or biology training. The first year for incoming graduate students is typicallydevoted to taking foundational subjects in their research area (the ESM qualifying exam has fivebroad areas of concentration: mechanics, materials, electromagnetics, nano- and bio-science, andneural engineering).

statements from the students about thelectures they attended and the assignments they completed. The value of these learning statementsis anchored in that instructors and teaching assistants can analyze the learning statements andunderstand what students have individually and collectively learned and whether the outcome isin keeping with what the instructors planned. One option to do this is to have instructors andteaching assistants manually read the learning statements and assess student learning. The keydisadvantage of this option is that manually dealing with a huge amount of text-based data (12,000learning statements per semester) is labor-intensive and time-consuming.
