As shown in Tables A1-A6, information could be locatedfor several attitudinal measures. Many instruments were also easily identified for assessingknowledge, behaviors, and professional skills. Fewer instruments were located for assessing thelearning environment or using institutional data to measure various outcomes. One trend thatoccurred in the early 1990’s and 2000’s was the development of numerous concept inventoriesintended to improve classroom teaching and learning. During this time, the need for valid andreliable measures, and the understanding of reliability

The former would focus on morepractical applications to meet the needs of industry and the latter would be centered on mathand science geared towards careers in design, research, and development. The engineeringfaculty who reviewed the preliminary report rejected this proposal, and the consensus was thatall engineering curricula should incorporate strengthened basic science content. Despite therejection of this proposed bifurcation by the engineering community, many universities beganexpanding their existing two-year technology programs into four year engineering technologydegree programs in the mid-1950’s in response to a need for more practically trained graduateswho
