Sources of drag include thelogistics of laboratory technologies. These tend to be expensive in dollars, with price magnifiedby the number of copies needed in the teaching environment. Another expense is the time spentby faculty and technicians to install and make new technologies functional for teaching purposes,including time to learn new tools and techniques and to address in advance the problems thatstudents are likely to encounter. The latter costs are particularly hard to quantify and articulatefor purposes of resource allocation within the

One instructional strategy that helps engineeringstudents go deeper in their thinking about the functional aspects of electrical circuits is showingthese effects through the use of real-time devices.We have not been able to use real-time demonstrations in class effectively, and certainly not inour larger classes.

undergraduate colleges in theUS. While faculty at UTG (and smaller colleges in the US) will struggle to compete with theR1's in the scholarship of discovery, the playing field can be leveled or even tipped to theiradvantage in the other areas. Faculty at many smaller US colleges and UTG will likely alwayshave greater teaching responsibilities and less access to costly research laboratories andresources (library, software, database access, support staff, technicians, etc.). This clearly tips thecompetitive balance toward the R1's in the scholarship of discovery. However in the scholarshipof teaching, an increased valuation of teaching should provide opportunity to raise visibility inthis area of scholarship. Evidence of this can be seen every summer at

To evaluate this curriculum, we also present results of a mixed methods approach tocollect quantitative and qualitative data on the tool and students’ perceptions of engineering as aresult of using the tool.

Thus, for most students, the ECES607: Introductionto Biomedical Microsystems course is not only the first exposure to BioMEMS, but also toMEMS.The “Introduction to Biomedical Microsystems” CourseThe objective of the course is to expose students to biomedical microsystems and to teach themfundamental principles of MEMS applications in biology and medicine.

. Principles of Assessment The term assessment is generally used in two contexts. Summative assessment (usually just calledassessment) is what an institution may use to make decisions about global learning outcomes, resourceallocation, and accountability. The assessment is usually a formal process and consists of documentation thatstudents completing degree programs have the knowledge and/or skills required of their degree program. Theaudience for summative assessment is usually external to the department or university. Formative assessment(often called classroom assessment) involves continuous, oflen informal, assessment of student learning withthe expressed purpose of improving teaching and learning within a specific course or curriculum
