Oncea number of questions have been brainstormed for a particular assessment, the questions areprinted (one to a page) and tested with students. Each interviewer takes a number of thequestions (no more than can be tested in 20 minutes with a student) and sits one-on-one with astudent to test the questions.During a cognitive interview, the interviewer first reassures the student that the purpose of theinterview is to see if the questions are good ones, not to test the student. Whether or not thestudent knows the answer to a question, we ask that s/he let us know what s/he thinks thequestion is asking, and whether any words or phrases are particularly confusing. The

has been steadily and rapidly changing for many years. From about the mid-1980’s, concepts of cost control, quality and overall efficiency have become an increasingly sharp focus. In recent years, many companies have tunneled in on lean manufacturing as their savior. It is certainly true that the precepts and procedures of lean, ToC, TQM and other regimens are essential for modern manufacturing competitiveness, and instruction in these matters has become a fundamental component in manufacturing education. With far less visible excitement, however, another ‘revolution’ has entered the scene. The fastest growing sectors of product type are those that require new processing technologies. In 21st century

The University ofChicago, for example, has had a Journal of Law and Economics since 1958.1 The Encyclopediaof Law and Economics, which is published in the Netherlands, has two Nobel Laureates inEconomics on its Editorial Board.2Because important relationships exist between law and economics, it is appropriate to inquire:What area(s) of the law (if any) are most relevant to a course in engineering economics?Environmental law might be a candidate, as it is relevant to environmental engineers, but it is toospecialized to be of general interest in a course on engineering

tried to create rudimentaryvideo games in their free time. As educators, we should jump for joy when we find students"playing" with a tool we have introduced to them, for it is that playtime that often leads to self-directed, experiential learning that goes beyond the course objectives and turns the students intoactive learners just for the sake of knowledge. And the more palatable the knowledge, thegreater success we can expect in the education of students in the future.AcknowledgementThe support provided by two NSF grants (i.e., award #s 0342000 & 0431779) is sincerelyacknowledged.
