Page 22.248.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 Assessment Based on Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences Mysore Narayanan, Miami University, Ohio.Abstract Scholars in the area of cognitive science and educational psychology agree that‘assessment’ as ‘learning’ should not be treated like a third-party research project orsome administrator’s questionnaire. Assessment must be actually viewed as acommunity effort or nothing. Assessment must be driven by a faculty's owncommitment to reflect, react, innovate and improve. Educators have also recognized thatit is very important that instructors make a strong effort to teach to the

Prior to Mtech, he provided business development and product management to WaveCrest Laboratories (acquired by Magna Interna- tional, NYSE: MGA), an innovative start-up in next-generation electric and hybrid-electric propulsion and drive systems. At Cyveillance (acquired by QinetiQ, LSE: QQ.L), he served in operations, client service, and product development roles for this software start-up and world leader in cyber intelligence and intelligence-led security. While at Booz Allen Hamilton, he provided technical and programmatic direction to the DARPA Special Projects Office (SPO), Army Research Lab (ARL), Defense

These modules are part of alarger project of Desktop Experiment Modules (DEMos) that enable students toexperiment to deduce cause / effect in a demonstration tool. We focus on microfluidicsand fuel cells because few examples exist in the chemical engineering literature in thisarea. These modules were implemented in chemical engineering in a special microdevicecourse for undergraduate upper-classmen and beginning graduate students, a senior levelelective course on Computational Methods, and a junior-level transport / unit operationscourse.Introduction and Motivation
