Since 2015 she has been actively involved in the University of Miami College of Engineering’s ”Redefining Engineering Education” strategic plan on educational innovation. As part of this plan, Dr. Basalo worked with 2 other faculty members to organize inaugural Senior Design Expo in May 2017, an exposition where over 200 senior students showcased their Capstone projects to the University of Miami community, alumni and industry leaders. Starting in 2016 and through her work with the University of Miami’s Engaged Faculty Fellowship program, Dr. Basalo incorporated an academic service component into the final project for a sophomore-level Measurements Lab course

For example, in response to the question, “What did you learn in the coursethat will be of help to you in the future?”, 29% of the 56 students commented on the base campportion of the course as the best for preparing for the future. Comments included the following:What did you learn in the course that will be of help to you in the future? • How to develop base camps • If I ever have to help plan and build a basecamp, I'm prepared. • Base camps are no joke. • How to manage a construction project and what goes into making a base camp

Documents such as abstracts, a series of short report memos, and annotatedbibliographies are all valuable exercises and help keep students in the practice of writing. Theyalso can be evaluated quickly, with minimal grading anxiety.Some courses, such as senior capstone projects, require longer reports, and students certainlyneed to know how to write longer technical papers. But longer papers, of course, increaseevaluation time. The following suggestions will help faculty cope with assessing long papers:& Do not attempt to grade a whole set of papers at one sitting.
