community involvement, assuming NGO staff has theflexible schedule to do so. ETH teams can also influence how NGOs enact their ability toscale up and empower communities by conceiving designs that communities will be able tomaintain, operate, and build in different contexts and at different times.Once an NGO partner has been chosen, it is important to spend appropriate time developingthat partnership through curricula where students and NGOs find a common design languageand a balance between NGO goals and course objectives. Using available design frameworkssuch as those outlined above, design pedagogy must be carefully crafted in partnership withNGOs to strengthen student learning, NGO effectiveness, and community empowerment.8.

home’s volume to surface area ratio, which reduces the total amount ofheat transfer through the walls. The homes in Figures 3(m), (n), and especially (q) and (r) werebuilt into the ground to make an Earthen home. This also increases the efficiency of the home byadding insulation to the home’s walls and reducing the rate of heat transfer through the walls.The home in Figure 3(m) and (n) also featured a large rainwater collection system. The homes inFigures 3(a), (b), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (m), (n), (s), and (t) all incorporated a PV system.Considering that solar photovoltaics is a major portion of the course, and students gainsignificant lab experience working with PV system components, it is not surprising that moststudents incorporate

Also, because of EC 2000’s architects’decision to embrace outcomes assessment—but to do so only in part—ABET’s programevaluators (PEVs) were placed in the difficult position of having to balance the goals ofeducational standardization, improvement, and innovation across the diverse spectrum ofinstitutions through which we deliver engineering education in the United States.The case study is also significant because outcomes assessment has been part and parcel to theexpansion of neoliberal modes of governance not only in engineering education, but highereducation as a whole.

.ConclusionsAn alternative oral communication exercise has been developed to simulate a common profes-sional setting for both entry-level and experienced engineers. Student response to the exercisehas been overwhelmingly positive. The time commitment for both students and faculty is notexcessive. In addition to oral communication skill development, students gain exposure to ad-ditional material not covered in lecture. Students are provided with the research summaries touse as study guides for exams. Furthermore, this information is presented by the students to thestudents.

Student performance on theobjective portion the of exams is typically fairly uniform over the range of about 45% to 95%.Essay performance is usually excellent with the exception of a typical 15% to 20% who don’trespond to the question. This results in student percentage grades that range from about 50 to thelow 90’s. Students rarely dispute the assigned letter grades.ASSESSMENTThe course has been assessed from the perspective of student acquisition of knowledge and fromthe perspective of student satisfaction with the course and teacher.
