Working with subject matter experts in the area targeted for assessment to determine the goals, objectives and outcomes of the intervention that is to be assessed; 2. Develop valid assessment tools (whether traditional or rubrics) to measure desired outcomes; 3. Alternatively, helping to choose already-existing assessment instruments that are relevant to the intervention’s intended outcomes; 4. Implement finalized instruments for the desired program or intervention; 5. Report assessment data; and 6. Help to interpret

-ing, n. the planning, designing, construction, or management of machinery, roads,bridges, etc.” (Compact Desk Edition, Webster’s New World Dictionary of the AmericanLanguage, The World Publishing Company, 1963). Webster’s Dictionary’s definition ofengineering is interesting. It uses four actions individually or collectively to describe engineering.These actions are planning, designing, construction, or management. Using “or” rather than “and”in this definition implies that any or all of the four actions is part of the engineering process. It isalso of interest that the Dictionary specifies three areas (machinery, roads, and bridges), two ofwhich are civil engineering areas. This, however, is of minor importance because the use of etc.(et

In “Engagement Theory: A framework for technology-based teaching and learning,” (1999), Kearsley and Shneiderman summarize the basis forengagement as “Relate-Create-Donate.” This simple formula captures the essence of theeffective on-line course and explains the fundamental principles of CTI. 1. Relate – “Emphasizes team efforts that involve communication, planning, management and social skills.” 2.

Levitz, et al, (1999) concluded: “Getting studentsstarted right on the path through the institution to graduation begins with anticipating andmeeting their transition and adjustment needs when they enter. Freshmen need aprevention plan.

The basicidea was to combine the AE and ME preliminary design courses. In the AE Aircraft PreliminaryDesign course, students conceptualize a complete aircraft design.2 Prior to 2010, the AE designteams were limited to the selection and analysis of an existing propulsion system to propel theiraircraft. With the new ME Propulsion Preliminary Design course, an aircraft “contractor” andengine “subcontractor” relationship could be formed.
