However, incorporatingreflection in a way that engages engineering students can be challenging, and educators seekways to design or introduce effective and efficient reflective practices that best address this issue.In this paper, we describe three example case studies that use the concept of probes and weanalyze their potential for stimulating reflection to help identify new ways of supportingreflection in engineering education. Our goal is to introduce engineering educators to the conceptof probes as a method to support students’ reflection and also to inspire and facilitatecollaboration between engineering educators

in this paper is the result of anextensive rebuilding effort. Prior to the development of these tools and processes, the academicprogram faculty went through a period of re-establishing and clarifying a myriad of assessmentfundamentals. That is, establishing a sustainable assessment process integrating the program’sstakeholders with the curriculum, implementing process review policies, clearly defining courseoutcomes, and developing appropriate performance indicators. Additionally it came to beunderstood that the assessment process – no matter how sophisticated or well intentioned it maybe – would not stand up to the scrutiny of an on-site assessment without possessing a clarity andtransparency that is obvious to the on-site accreditation

The use of MDL is aimed at providing flexibility and practicalityin the assessment of these skills. In this paper, the implementation
