Furthermore, the time needed to attain ahigher education degree typically exceeds 52 months, well beyond the projected 48 months forwhich students aim 10. Given

For an open-ended problem, multiple viable and correct solutionsexist. Students’ writings, portfolios, or design-based projects, laboratories, or fourth-yearcapstone projects are areas in which outcomes-based research has been extensively investigated[9]–[12].Most of the work done on closed-ended problem solving is related to aiding students with self-regulation and building their problem-solving capability, rather than aiding the feedback process.Examples of the former include models of problem-solving in engineering and informationprocessing [13]–[17].

Therefore, no more outcome assessment is necessary for the curriculum requirements ofthe ME Program Criteria. In the 2012-13 accreditation cycle programs had to prepare students towork professionally in both thermal and mechanical systems areas. This required students tocomplete design projects in both thermal and mechanical systems areas.

However, active learning may not alwayslead to success. Rather, characteristics of the students enrolled and of the course material mayinfluence whether or not active learning is met with resistance. This project examines therelationship between graduate students’ perception of active learning techniques and the successof these techniques in an engineering education course entitled, “Teaching Seminar for GraduateAssistants.” The context of the project surrounds three sections of a course

The threequantitative measures required are reliability, discrimination and difficulty.For a test to be useful it must be both reliable and valid. Validity can only be addressed duringdevelopment of the instrument. However, reliability can be measured. We are using the Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 (KR-20) to evaluate test reliability. The KR-20 reliability value is basedon: number of test items, student performance on every test item and variance for the set ofstudent test scores. The KR-20 index ranges from 0.0 to 1.0, with tests with an index of 0.6 orbetter
