design tasks were performed through manual calculations by followingtraditional lecture notes. The conceptual design was followed by more sophisticated three-dimensional design tasks using computer-aided techniques. Finally, the students were assessedcontinuously with respect to their technical contribution, working techniques and interactionwith their peer group at national and international level. They were also probed regarding theiropinion on various aspects of the project using interviews and forms. These surveys have beenevaluated together with the opinion of the academic staff in order to form future directions. For the planning the students had to consider the engine as a whole before distributing the tasksindividually. This enabled

Ofparticular interest to other civil engineering programs is how we intend to develop and assess theproficiency of our students in four major civil engineering areas. As part of the revision process,we informally surveyed several peer institutions to determine what elements of our programwere similar and to generate ideas for changes consistent with our institution mission and goals.The paper

precedinggenerations. In order to improve quality of life and increase work productivity, previous generationshave created a ‘throw away society’, a complex, yet easy-to-use equipment, devices that are difficultto disassemble and too costly to repair. As compared to peers of twenty years ago, not manyteenagers of today have repaired their own bicycle or watched a parent repairing a toy or a kitchenappliance. How many have repaired a car or measured pieces for precision fit while rebuilding anengine? These activities became substituted by computer games, hence many manual and simpletechnical skills do not have a chance to be developed. On the other hand, in today’s developedeconomies, people who are competent in high-tech areas and possess interdisciplinary

Differenttypes of student’s design assessments have been used by instructors including self, peer, and expertassessments of design reports, final product performances, open- and close-ended questions,videos of design teams, and students’ portfolios [10]. Measuring student design knowledge hasseveral complexities and each assessment has its advantages and disadvantages.By conducting a systematized literature review and summarizing some significant research studiesin this area, which are described in the next sections, we found that there is a need for acomprehensive rubric and approach to measure students’ design skills longitudinally andthroughout an entire curriculum, based on the ABET

During this time,students begin to craft their professional identity by “trying on” possible images of themselves tosee how well they fit 11. One way these images are established is through the individual’sprofessional developmental network, and the relationships students have with members of theirprofession and learning community (e.g their department or research group) 12.

Oral communication in the broadest context is a learnable skill.[5] Despite this,studies from around the world reveal that it is the competency most frequently reported as Page 21.46.2being deficient in the engineering workplace.

While thisappears to be a plausible reason to enroll in a MOOC, very little is known about how forumswith up to 100,000 students provide value to learners.To date, most research examining MOOC forums focus on the frequency of use and studentresponses to survey questions about the experience of using MOOC forums.
