Several of the new research tools discussed in this paper,including the credibility checklist and updated course guides, also reflect ABET accreditationcriteria, specifically General Criterion 3 [1, pg. 3] (Student Outcomes) and General Criterion 5(Curriculum) [1, pg. 5].This assignment was further developed in response to a recent initiative from the UF College ofEngineering

. • Resource Material: Most established and long-running courses in engineering or otherwise, tend to take the approach of selecting a course textbook and to utilize all the instructor resources, presentation slides and test banks provided by the publisher. While instructors do customize course content to reflect their personal teaching styles or to incorporate contemporary trends and developments in the field, this is still optional. But with the engineering core courses, particularly with the objective of introducing appropriate systems engineering knowledge, generating instructional material not found in the course textbook is imperative and no longer an option. This also means generating assignments

In the futuremore time will be allocated to each activity. According to these results, 75-90 minutes peractivity would be sufficient.

, students were familiar with the basics of creating and analyzing a truss usingSOLIDWORKS. The first semester we implemented this assignment, students were required tocreate their own truss as explained in Figure 1. In following semesters, to ensure time was spenton completing the analysis and reflecting on the results rather than consumed creating the model,SOLIDWORKS models were provided to students who were then required only to modify theloads and record the results.Without teaching about influence lines in class, this assignment introduced students to theconcept and reinforced the idea that some truss members may be in tension for one load case butin compression in another. This reality was revisited later in the course when discussing

Is such a numerical marker valuable to a learner in reflecting on their progress andaccumulated knowledge? The broad answer to such questions is that points are largely arbitrary,varying wildly in meaning across institutions, courses, or even across assignments.Trends in pedagogy have shifted strongly in the direction of more experiential, authentic learningactivities such as project-based and active learning. As the nature of the classroom activity haschanged, important questions have been raised about the efficacy of traditional grading schemes.Separation has been observed between course objectives and assessment practices, and theability of the

-efficacy measures were used to measure self-efficacy in engineering courses but only a few werein line with Bandura's definition and his guidelines [17]. Some of the studies also had conceptualand practical shortcomings as the developed measures reflected on general self-confidence and didnot address the concept of self-efficacy. As highlighted in [18], historically developed measuresalso do not adequately cover the engineering domain and therefore may not accurately predictacademic achievement. To date, to the best of our knowledge no study has examined themeasurement of self-efficacy in engineering modeling and design courses.

“real engineering” project. Figure 1 Student Feedback on Hands-On Learning ActivitiesA few representative student comments from the anonymous end-of-course survey explain whatit was about the hand-on activities that made them valuable to students. From these commentsand several similar ones it shows clearly what the research has told us for years, students want tosee a real world (physical) connection to what they are doing in the classroom and what theyexpect to be doing once they graduate [4, 5]. Sample student responses that reflect this includedthe following from the course survey: ● I think the part that made the activities most beneficial was the fact that they reinforced many of the concepts that we had learned
