In the next stage of the module development process, we plan to compare how each course-specific module covered topics such as errors in measured data.Table 6.

qualitative data using various coding methods. Two research team members readthe reflections and compared results. One researcher read reflections sequentially by student bycategory and identified salient patterns across participants. For example, Reflection 1 fromStudent 1 in the top 10% increase category was read first, followed by Student 1’s Reflections 2and 3. Then, Reflection 1 from Student 2 in the top 10% increase category was read, and so on.A second researcher read each reflection to determine similarities and differences incharacteristics and analyze patterns across reflections. This research team member readreflections as they were written chronologically within each category. All Reflection 1 samplesin the 10% increase category were read
hasdecided to conduct all 2021-2022 reviews virtually and it expects to review over 1080 programsacross all four commissions during the accreditation cycle. Over 730 of these programs will beevaluated by EAC.The objectives of this study were to: • gather input on best practices and opportunities for improvement in all elements of the virtual review, including pre-visit preparation, virtual “on-site” operations, team dynamics, communication and training, and • provide recommendations for future virtual reviewsResults of surveys, author(s)’ observations, and recommendations to improve future reviews -whether in-person or virtual - are presented in this paper. Lessons learned address suggestionsfor improvement for future virtual reviews

patterns in Activity 7 Activity #8: Failure Case Study Presentations Usual format: In teams of three, the students investigate a failure case study prior to classand the activity is used for group presentations of their findings. Given a series of library andweb-based resources, student teams select a building failure case study and create a four-minutePowerPoint presentation which answers the questions: Which building system type failed?Which key components of the system were involved and how did they fail? Who suffered fromthis event? Which profession(s) was involved with the cause? What could have been donedifferently to have prevented the situation? Each student in the team has to participate in thepresentation. The student teams

This plan incorporates areflection on the choices students made as they created their pathways through the course, apersonal engineering statement focusing on the personal qualities that they seek to exhibit as anengineer, a personal vision (one-year or five-year), and the proposed initial step(s) they plan totake in fulfilling that vision.Analysis: How does choice support exploration and self-understanding?This course structure is designed to support the course learning goals.
