Identifying the needs of graduate students and facultyThe 2009 assessment, performed by the Professional Enrichment Center, in collaboration withthe Office of Graduate Studies, surveyed 214 graduate students and organized various focusgroups with eight graduate program coordinators. The participants reported deficiencies in a)technical writing and communication skills, b) search strategies, and c) research integrity. Theassessments also exposed unsatisfactory and inadequate laboratory facilities for graduateresearch, as well as the lack of accommodations for collaborative learning. These findings agreewith the literature regarding support services for graduate students [3-6].In 2012, the Research

To assess strategies to improve technical writing among upper divisions students, wereport the response of three cohorts of engineering students to modifications of a fluid mechanicscourse with a hands-on fluid mechanics laboratory project assignment that involves thepreparation of a technical report. We find that group format instruction on report preparation,with specific examples of good and bad writing styles and a clear standard for the expected levelof performance, is equally effective as small group meetings with more personalized feedbackand is substantially less resource

Thiscommittee embarked on a process that included discussions around many aspects of the SETsuch as implementation issues and use of the SET data from the faculty’s perspective. However,after one year, the ad-hoc committee had not conducted a systematic review of the existing SETquestions or drafted revisions.

The achievement of each of the 11 SYEN student outcomes (SOs) is tobe demonstrated by a primary core course and often by one supporting course. The assessment ofeach SO is based on quantitative performance measures that directly assess the SO. Assessmentmethodology is based on the student work, such as assignments, exams, projects, presentations,laboratory experiments, etc. Samples of student work supporting assessment of SOs are retainedand placed in the course binders maintained in the department office.The student outcomes are assessed as per

IC promotes students’ self-directed learning in fundamental heat transfer principles using online videos, quizzes, andinteractive problems outside of class time. Class time was used, in part, for mini-lectures,demonstrations, questions/answer sessions to correct student misconceptions, and exams toensure attainment of engineering fundamentals. However, the majority of class time was freedfor students to work on authentic engineering problems (AEP). These problems are key to theinstructional framework. The problems were developed by
