The value of the study’s findings depends largely on an exploratory researchdesign, which analyzes the pedagogical practices—practices designed to foster successfultransfer from community college to four-year colleges and universities and how students’innovative capability influences such transfer capacity.

This hindsight led to the development of a questionnaire that could be used in thefuture.1.IntroductionWhetton [1] rightly states that most important professing of a professor, involves histhoughtful choice of reading materials, assignments, activities and most of all learningobjectives. This is even more pronounced when the instructor has to choose few experimentsand a project from a wide variety of mechanical engineering applications. The choice has tobe further developed to meet the learning outcomes called the student outcomes defined byABET [2]. Outcomes are descriptions of the end product of

discusses this in thecontext of how she plans to marry an engineer, so she can “stay with the kids until they go toschool” and then “work part-time until they get out of school.” For Maggie engineering allows aperson, in this case her imagined husband, to earn enough money to allow her, projected as anequally qualified professional engineer, to stay at home with children or work part-time. Theengineering-as-lifestyle perspective is differently shaded here, when compared to the unalloyedversions from Max and Jake, but our interpretation is that it is the same basic belief about theleading value of engineering—that it provides for a high salary and a comfortable lifestyle.

However, some tools discussed here may not apply in all courses. Forexample, the randomized algorithmic questions work best with "bite-size" quantitative problemsrather than long multi-stage problems or more qualitative questions. Products such as Turnitin orSafeAssign can be helpful for evaluating students' writing assignments, but they won't help withan assignment to write code for a computer program to run.
