Communicate results Reports on assessment findings are released to all stakeholders and the schedule and frequencies for the reporting the assessment results is summarized and documented in the BSIT Continuous Improvement Plan (see Appendix 1). 8. Use information to improve the program(s) After the assessment finds are distributed to stakeholders, action plans are developed by the faculty and staff to address problems. The Dean is responsible for approving the proposed action plans and ensuring that the plans are

creation of a symbolic/mathematical (S)model for further analysis. Learning to solve problems in this particular way is a major goal forengineering education. The research presented in this paper focuses specifically on the text todiagram translation and the particularized representations utilized within a course onconservation principles. Previous research on student-generated diagrams revealed that, at thebeginning of the course, students are not able to construct useful diagrams that follow theconservation laws. This result led to the general question of whether students can recognizeuseful, correct diagrams; more specifically: 1) Given a set of diagrams, are students able todistinguish between effective and ineffective diagrams? and 2) How do

invited presentations - 13 plenary - at international and national forums, conferences and corporations. Since 1994, he has directed an extensive engineering mentoring-research academic success and professional development (ASAP) program that has served over 500 students. These efforts have been supported by NSF STEP, S-STEM, and CSEM grants as well as industry. Dr. Rodriguez’ research inter- ests include: control of nonlinear distributed parameter, and sampled-data systems; modeling, simulation, animation, and real-time control (MoSART) of Flexible Autonomous Machines operating in an uncertain Environment (FAME); design and control of micro-air vehicles (MAVs), control of bio-economic systems, renewable resources, and

level, the students areprovided the speed of sound in the air at sea level, which is 340.29 m/s. Using this information,the students determine the theoretical amount of time it takes the robot to react to objects in frontof it using simple unit cancellation and conversion. Next, the students perform the experimentand compare their experimental results vis-à-vis the theoretical values. This leads to a discussionabout the temperature- and altitude-dependence of the speed of sound in air. To scale the lessonto the middle school level, the students are given object detection threshold values in inches,asked to convert them to centimeters, and perform experimental investigations to determine theachieved object detection distance in centimeters

Thecomputational thinking tool introduced in this project helped students to approach problemsfrom different perspectives and to come up with novel and creative solutions. Overall thesuccess of this project was tremendous, and it gave the pilot school a project-based learningproject to integrate into its STEM curricula.AcknowledgementThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under GrantNo. CNS-0939059, 0939088, and 0939028.

interesting to certain groups ofpeople. For example, in the survey that was conducted, while both boys and girls found themessage “Engineering makes a world of difference” most appealing, girls’ second mostappealing message was “Engineering is essential to our health, happiness, and safety” whileboys’ second most appealing message was “Engineers are creative problem solvers.” Therecommendations from the report suggest that targeting certain messages to certain groups(audience segmentation) may be the most effective means of branding engineering in a positiveway. In fact, recommendation 2 says: “The choice of a specific message should be based on thedemographics of the target audience (s)”1 (p. 12).In the end, NAE suggested four main messages to be

Along with stating expected outcomes, we try to identify if, infact, we provide sufficient educational opportunities inside and outside of the classroom todevelop the desired outcomes we assert we teach and/or develop. Courses may be one means, butseveral other options exist. To assure that students have sufficient and various kinds ofeducational opportunities to learn or develop desired outcomes, we engage in curricular and co-curricular mapping.Part II: Determining timing, identifying cohort(s), and assigning responsibilities.
