the Georgia Institute of Technology.Edward F. Morrison, Purdue University, West Lafayette Ed Morrison is Regional Economic Development Advisor for the Center for Regional Development at Purdue University. Ed has been developing a new approach to developing strategies for complex col- laboration in open, loosely connected networks. Called ”strategic doing”, this methodology emphasizes the strategic value of collaboration in today’s global economy. For over twenty-five years, he conducted strategy projects throughout the U.S. His work won the first Arthur D. Little Award for excellence in economic development presented by the American Economic Development Council. Prior to starting his economic development work, Ed

also reasons for teams to beused in a course: Teams are able to accomplish more than individuals, there is learning betweenmembers on a team, and teams are a way of developing and disseminating a culture. In theclassroom, the culture that should be developed among the students through the use of teams is aculture of collaboration and problem-solving. No amount of lecturing on the value of teams orthe value of collaborative problem solving can replace the learning or experiencing of actuallybeing a part of a team. It should be noted that teams can be formal or informal; for a largesemester project, teams may work together for weeks, but informal teams may develop duringsmall class discussions or class exercises.A potential hazard of using teams

While there have been many program-levelefforts across the nation to develop these “soft” skills, such as capstone projects that incorporatestudy abroad and service learning, no direct method of measuring all six skills simultaneouslyexists in the literature. This project proposes an innovative and direct method of developing andassessing ABET professional skills simultaneously that can be used at the course-level forassessing student performance and at the program-level for assessing efficacy of the curricula.In 2007, the Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) at Washington StateUniversity (WSU) collaborated with the College of Engineering and

Both courses include trips to developing countries, international internships and sig- nificant fund-raising to support projects with community partners. As a result of her efforts, the CEDC program grew from 25 students to over 100 from 30 different departments and was recognized by the Institute for International Education (IIE) with the Andrew Heiskell Award. As a first generation student, and the first tenured female in her department, Dr. Ogle is an advocate for improving inclusion and di- versity in Civil Engineering.

He has co-developed a Materials Concept Inventory and a Chemistry Concept Inventory for assessing conceptual knowledge and change for intro- ductory materials science and chemistry classes. He is currently conducting research on NSF projects in two areas. One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback with support from internet tools and resources affect conceptual change and associated impact on students’ attitude, achievement, and per- sistence. The other is on the factors that promote persistence and success in retention of undergraduate students in engineering

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
