providing feedback to instructors is likely to help them to reflect on their owninstruction. Comparison of achievement among groups indicated that there are statisticallysignificant differences among groups. No students scored very low for their final grades (lessthan 60% in achievement in T condition), and it seems that students in the T group tend to dobetter than students in C1 or C2 groups, although effect size is relatively small. However, thenature of the review session at an individual meeting needs to be refined for highlighting theutility of feedback provided by G-RATE. This paper concludes with insight about future workusing the G-RATE.Introduction and G-RATE Background The Global Real-time Assessment Tool for Teaching Enhancement

about theirteaching.Introduction: What Type of Teaching Portfolio are We Talking About?Teaching portfolios take a variety of forms (e.g., papers collected in a three-ring binder;multimedia-rich electronic documents), are used in a variety of educational settings (from pre-Kto post-graduate education), and are prepared for a variety of reasons. For example, a portfoliomay be formative in nature, serving as a place for collecting evidence of improvements inteaching, reflections on one’s identity as a teacher, or to share experiences with colleagues in anorganized way. The main purpose of these portfolios might be described as ‘improvement’1(both documenting and encouraging improvement). Portfolios can also be summative in nature,designed to

Course grading includes reflections and analyses,system component maps, and a final project, an integrated system map. The evaluation resultsthrough the four (4) cohorts show that student ratings about their perceived ability to performFEW systems tasks improved from the beginning to the end of the course, from ‘somewhat able’to ‘very able.’ Students rated most course activities as “very useful”.IntroductionSystems thinking is an approach for examining complex events and systems in a holistic way [1].Its origin dates back thousands of years ago to indigenous cultures [2], and it is a framework forbetter understanding linkages and connections between

dyslexia, dysgraphia,dyspraxia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and challenges related to executivefunctioning are among the factors that can create substantial barriers for students. These barriersare particularly pronounced in students with average to above-average intelligence, where thereexists a stark contrast between their understanding of complex technical material and their abilityto articulate this knowledge through writing. These challenges often result in written assignmentsthat fail to truly represent the student's level of comprehension and analytical abilities, therebynot reflecting their true potential or depth of understanding.

Design Competition (FSAE).Growth in our class sizes has recently encouraged us to reflect on our senior design model: tohighlight its strengths and identify areas for improvement. Larger class sizes make our seniorprojects more difficult to manage. This is particularly true for projects with bigger teams (whichnow have even more students). The magnitude of our “large scale projects,” like FSAE, alsoseems to very stressful for students. Our work to review and propose updates to our seniordesign curriculum considers these concerns (as well as others), our strengths, and the models ofpeer institutions to recognize areas for improvement. Many of our conclusions, we believe,connect to best practices for general senior design curricula.

The results will show that students’ perceptions as to what elements of theirwork are important are often in conflict with what is required.IntroductionMuch of engineering education is driven by the needs of industry.
