Session 2261 Reflection as an Assessment Measure Barbara M. Olds Colorado School of Mines Golden, CO 80401I. IntroductionAs I teach and advise engineering students, I am constantly amazed at their motivation, theircapacity for hard work, their intelligence. But I am also often amazed at their lack of self-awareness, at their “can’t see the forest for the trees” approach to getting through each hour, eachday, each semester, a college education. They refer, often jokingly, to “getting out,” instead ofgraduating, and they

They also tend to be quantitatively minded, so theyappreciate the inclusion of summary statistics with visual representations. With only about tenweeks in a quarter, our analyzing feedback in less than a business day enables clients to close theloop promptly and maximize the impact of course

Understandingthese sources can help prevent or resolve difficulties. First, with unsuccessful writers, weoften discover that the writing process is "back loaded."

taught them to become functionallyfocused and isolated. With this in mind, the two first modules intend to establish an initialworking relationship between students regardless of major and fostering a line of communicationthat supersedes disciplinary specialization. They are also is geared towards developing a set ofstrategies that will allow them to deal with the very real pressures to become functionallyisolated. The first modules are being phased into the Introduction to Engineering/Introduction toConstruction Management courses.At present, courses with students from different disciplines fall into several categories: A coursetaught by one discipline might be a required course for students from several disciplines. Thesecourses are often
purchased commercially or canbe built at a much lower cost. A key feature of these exercises is the use of low cost, USB baseddata acquisition (DAQ) devices. Many companies are beginning to offer these types of devices,and prices are getting to the point where students may be able to obtain one for about the cost ofa textbook to use throughout their college careers and beyond. Before outlining the suite of exercises, we take a look at the pedagogical framework whichprovides the basis for them. Most undergraduate engineering courses that have laboratorycomponents involve a series of structured exercises that employ preconfigured devices that yieldpredictable results. The students are usually required to follow a particular procedure to run
