How and to what degree does faculty participation in an FLC impact engineering college culture? 3. To what degree does faculty participation in an FLC impact engineering student belonging and success?To create the FLC, at least two faculty members were recruited from each of five departments.Together with the principal investigator (PI) team, the FLC has around 15 members. In addition,one research assistant and one or two evaluators usually attend sessions. The FLC meets once permonth for eight months during the academic year, on Friday mornings, a time

They have noticed the“prominence of teamwork skills” in their list.1 From an extensive review of best practices, Paul,R., & Cowe Falls, L. G.2 propose the definition is

Direct measures are those that assess achievement by observation ofperformance rather than by soliciting opinion about the achievement of a particular outcome. Astandardized exam is a good direct measure. Others might include a third party evaluation ofstudent projects or a manager’s assessment of work done on co-op/internship. A standardizedexam may be the most tempting for busy faculty trying to assess their program because it isfairly easy to administer, the results are naturally quantifiable, and the program can more or lessguarantee a consistent rate of response. Such an exam, however, should be evaluated using apsychometric evaluation to study reliability, validity
