Additionally, an end of course survey revealed that ingeneral students had no preference for who was featured in the videos. Further refinement of theclass materials management system and the inclusion of additional course modules areopportunities to improve and further validate this study.Section 1: IntroductionOver the last several decades, more and more U. S. students are enrolling in college, with nearlyforty percent of Americans obtaining at least a two-year college degree1,2.

Some courses utilizecoursework that demands objective evaluation. Other courses utilize work that must besubjectively graded. The inclusion of rubrics is critical in ensuring a consistent grading effortwhen evaluating subjective material.It is important to note that the form has only four entries that are editable by the faculty: thenumber of students engaged in the assessment, the number of students satisfying the performancetarget, the percentage equivalent and faculty comments.

First-Year Programs
Outcome FrequencyIntroductionFirst-year programs nationwide typically feature an introductory curriculum featuring a semesteror yearlong “Introduction to Engineering” course or sequence. Examining a number of thesecourses shows that the content can vary significantly. For example, one course could focus onMATLAB programming while another course could emphasize technical communication. Mostcourses are a combination of these topics to varying degrees; therefore, an NSF-sponsoredproject to classify these courses was conducted which resulted in the First-Year Introduction toEngineering Course Classification Scheme.1 This taxonomy allows programs or instructors toquantify the content of their course(s) using the scheme. As a result, the scheme has

It also provided a real-worldengineering design practice for students. The successful completion of the project confirmed theeffectiveness of the Mechatronics curriculum for students’ multidisciplinary learning and practicalcompetence. Moreover, the ground work established in this project provides a valuable bench-marking system for Mechatronics students and classes in which various control designs areempirically evaluated.

essentially a programming class, the importance of the PLC was limited due to the “softwareonly” approach to the lab. Further, the original curriculum was developed around a procedurallywritten lab. While it was acceptable to use procedural instructions in some instances for learningactivities, it generally did not support conceptual learning of the material. This was articulatedwell by Eiriksdottir et al. who stated that: “Specific instructions help initial performance,whereas more general instructions, requiring problem solving, help learning and transfer.”2Finally, because the system was originally developed in the mid 1990’s, the hardware andsoftware were both out of date and difficult to support.

This implies that a person could operate within therealms of large comfort zones professionally while having a small comfort zone at a personallevel. In our research, we validate the idea that a person´s personal and professionalrelationship with uncertainty is not directly correlated; rather, they could be considereddifferent comfort zones.Little’s (2005, 2006, 2007) research validates that personally construed action, termedidiogenic action, has the capacity to confront biogenic and sociogenic forces.
