indicate the program of the person(s) on which they were basing their evaluation. Theywere asked to do multiple forms if more than one program was represented. If the respondentwas not supervising any recent graduates, they were still asked to respond to the importancequestions. The last element of the survey asked for additional comments regarding the graduatesand suggestions for survey improvement. Senior Exit SurveyA four part, Senior Exit Survey was developed by the OAC. The intent was for the survey to beadministered to seniors at or nearing graduation. Part I asked for seven items related todemographics, participation in various programs, and future plans. Part II - EducationalOutcomes – General used the same elements and structure as
three-step model. First, theassessment process, program outcomes and performance criteria are developed and adopted bythe faculty. Second, each teaching faculty member evaluates his/her own course(s) by reducingcourse syllabi down to course learning objectives and a list of major topic areas and practices.The level to which the course addresses each performance criteria is estimated using a Bloom’sTaxonomy scale. Third, all course profiles are compiled and analyzed to pinpoint strengths andweaknesses in particular performance criteria or outcomes. This paper will highlight the ABET-compliant course profile development and implementation and a model for program deficiencyanalysis.IntroductionOne can look at the conference proceeding for any

IntroductionIt is common for products to be designed at one location and manufactured at another location(s). Hence, systems toensure efficient communications between the design and the manufacturing
elements to enhance “the ability to designexperiments” was both most appealing and challenging. This would seem “structurally” moreprobable to create and execute in a stand-alone course(s) rather than an added factor in a mixedlecture-lab course. Increased chances of obtaining both more advanced hardware and softwarethrough institutional and outside national resources seemed to serve as another incentive. Last,but certainly not the least was the influence of ABET Criteria 2000. Higher visibility and bettermeans of demonstrating “where the beef is” for satisfying the experimentation requirements ofthe criteria seemed more probable in the separated mode. The authors/coordinators of the four newly born “1-credit” laboratory courses
identified by input from advisory committee members, former graduates, andemployers of graduates (primarily consulting engineering firms), the primary focus in theSD/CM emphasis is on the design of building structures, i.e., the structural and foundationsystems of buildings.Career Goals of CET Students in the Structural Design CurriculumHistorically, the students entering the CET Program at ODU since its inception in the middle1970’s have indicated that their terminal goal is to obtain the Bachelor of Science in EngineeringTechnology (BSET) degree for use in applied positions in the field. Thus, the primary focus forthe CET faculty is to prepare the CET graduates for “practice”, and not for graduate study andresearch.In order to assist CET (and
that in order to enhance students’ learningon power electronics subjects, the best way is to let them apply the knowledge they learn in lecturesin actual design and see to it that their designs actual work. Our teaching philosophy is to teachstudents to design power electronics circuit based on circuit theories first. Then they simulate andimprove their designs using commercial simulation software like PSPICE or SABER. After that,they build prototype(s) in the laboratory, and finally they test their design and prove that all designcriteria are met. The design of our power electronics laboratory follows the proposed philosophyclosely.Characteristics Curve of Switching Devices Since all power electronics circuits or systems consist of

The data from the force gauge was acquired through a serial port interface to Vernier SoftwareInc.’s MacMotion software with a sampling rate of 100 Hertz. The data was stored as an ASCII file on aMacintosh Powerbook portable computer. The initial start time of an egg drop was difficult to record.However, for a given data run, data acquisition was begun just prior to launch. Then, the launcher cord,which was attached to a small sliding trap door, was pulled abruptly in order to launch the egg and createa force spike which might be used in the data analysis as an initial time marker.ANALYSIS The data collected in the experiment allowed the

[4] As he interviewed a group of students at the end of each academic year, probing theirviews of their university experiences, he observed patterns of thinking that were hierarchical andchronological. These patterns described an intellectual development path that all studentsseemed to follow and that Perry translated into a nine-stage model of development that hevalidated by a second, more extensive, longitudinal study.The model, a portion of which is summarized in Table 1, describes the stages students passthrough as they mature in their understanding of the nature of knowledge, use of evidence, andopen-ended problem solving.

Towards the middle of the semester, the student teams started getting thecomponents 1, 2, and 3 of the case studies from the course instructor. The three components werediscussed in the class and then each team was required to come up with a solution of theproblems associated with the industrial process discussed in that case study. On the average, oneweek was given to the teams for working on each case study. Page 3.423.55. At the end of the assigned time, each team was required to submit the solution (resulting fromthe work done by the team members) of the given problem(s) (as described in

Career counseling was provided by faculty mentors, andthe OSU students who worked with the HS students throughout the week as research projectadvisors. The main goal for the science teachers during their one-week stay was the developmentof an engineering module (s) -- plastics recycling; semiconductor processing; pulp and paperprocessing; wastewater treatment; etc., which they would develop with their faculty mentor andbring back to their respective High Schools to present to the students in their science classes.

computing a circuit’stime and frequency domain responses and displaying conceptual relationships betweenfundamental properties of basic electrical circuits. A notable feature of the software environmentis that it presents an integrated display of s-domain, frequency domain, and time domainconcepts in circuits. This presentation can reinforce the classroom experience of the student bydisplaying abstract concepts and related physical behavior. The Circuit Works display formatreveals how variations in a circuit’s component values affect the circuit’s response in the timeand frequency domains, and helps students visualize and appreciate relationships between such
guides or consultants in engineering designeducation. In contrast to the lecture method, this approach emphasizes faculty/studentinteraction. For instance, Dym (1994) encourages “interactive dialog” between the instructor(s)and students so that students learn that a seemingly simple statement such as “a safe ladder”involves not only clarifying objectives, but interacting with individuals who hold variousviewpoints, and developing design specifications that can be calculated. Similarly, Dally andZhang (1993) emphasize that the teaching and learning process involves two-waycommunication between the student and faculty member. They describe the role of the facultymember as consultant and coach, providing assistance and encouragement. At times

AI'scapability to tailor assessments to individual learning requirements and curriculum standards. Thisapproach deepens student engagement and advances educational strategies by equipping educatorswith dynamic tools that respond to the evolving educational landscape. The current studyparticularly emphasizes prompt engineering with AI, a critical element in optimizing AI’s utilityfor generating advanced, curriculum-aligned assessments. It assesses how effectively craftedprompts can guide AI to produce more relevant educational content, thereby enhancing learningexperiences. As effective prompts are developed, GPT-4’s potential to customize assessments tomeet specific student needs and address the complexities of material science theories ishighlighted
