Also, as the faculty team teaching our laboratory courseschanges on a yearly basis, it takes time to get new members “on board” with this style ofevaluation. This said, it is critical to get raters to understand and agree on the algorithm in orderto obtain more consistent rubric results.We have already begun developing and implementing rubrics using this “two-column” approachin other courses and plan to investigate other features of this grading scheme, such as number ofstudent questions about grades before and after implementation.

This course would be one of thefirst mechanical engineering courses required by the university that is not considered part ofthe general education curriculum. The purpose of this study is to track the effects of HIPs withcarefully planned pedagogies that would provide numerous benefits for the students, such asoverall increased learning gains and graduation rates. There are seven HIPs characteristicsused to measure the results at the end of the semester: these are (1) interaction with faculty, (2)interaction with peers, (3) feedback from instructor, (4) quality time spent on the course

Team size from 3 to 4 in the Fall increases to 6 to 8 in theSpring. In the Fall semester, the students are primarily working on gathering the requirementsand developing initial concepts, thus smaller teams of 3 to 4 are sufficient for this semester. Inthe spring semester, however, the students start prototyping, building proof of concepts andultimately fabricating the alpha and beta prototypes, thus the increase in team size in the Spring.This also allows the students to apply project management course work to the

These programs are kept outside the purview of university system.Often they are called Licentiate in Civil Engineering (LCE) or Licentiate in MechanicalEngineering (LME) or licentiate in other disciplines of engineering. A diploma course inengineering involves classes on fundamental engineering concepts. It is a professional course,planned in such a way that students may still take up jobs in the field of engineering once theyearn their diplomas. It can allow them to transfer into the second year of the B.Tech. or B.E.course. This, in effect, means the student may not have to take the eleventh and twelfth classexams. So

According to their findings, they argue that the amount of time spent studying or atwork had no direct influence on academic performance. Van der Meer, Jansen, & Torenbeek(2010) examine the issue within the context of first-year experience in higher education. Theyfound that a large proportion of students had realistic expectations about having to plan theirwork independently and having to spend significant time during the week on self-study.

The goals for the initial assessment that was conductedto show that the robotics concentration is beneficial have been met. Student enrollment in the nextcourse is relatively high and this is only expected to increase as other students hear about thesuccess from the previous course offerings. The high ratings from the students show that there isdefinitely a demand for a robotics concentration and that the university should move forward withthis plan.
