fact that individual portfolioentries are not scored by the instructor. It is the entire body of work that is judged, and part of theevaluation process is performed with both student and instructor looking together at the portfolio.Another effective method for combating plagiarism is the use of the closed laboratory session,where the instructor is present in the lab and interacts with the students. It is rather difficult toperform an act of plagiarism while under the instructor's direct supervision. It is not necessaryfor all programming sessions to be conducted in this manner; an occasional closed laboratorysession or two is sufficient to discourage this type of plagiarism.

It is well-accepted that the currentgeneration of college students have an affinity for environmental and social issues and thatlinking efforts to these “Grand Challenges” is inspirational and provides an external motivationfor long-term career goals [31], [32]. The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation(LSAMP) program was used to give the RS students their first experience working in a modernresearch laboratory as a team member under faculty direction [33]. Once the students hadexperienced working under a faculty member, they were given a chance to direct a project oftheir own choosing. Similar to a capstone experience, self-directed technical work buildsconfidence and marketable
instructors collaborated in co-teaching the first-yearexperience university seminar course that the students had to take the fall quarter of the academicyear. This collaboration built a strong connection between the two instructors and the students.The course provided a more casual environment beyond the structured technical content of eachinstructor's respective discipline-specific courses.Additional Engineering Course MeetingsThe standard first-year engineering course is typically taught twice a week, with each sessionlasting an hour and fifty minutes. Throughout the year, the engineering class for SSP studentswas extended to three days, providing increased contact hours with their instructor. Thisadjustment facilitated greater access to laboratory

part of a team is essential in any technological field. Therefore, in thetechnology program at The University of Toledo, each major course has a laboratory attached toit. Students in these courses gain the experience of working with a team to achieve the labobjectives. That experience proved to be a valuable asset when it came to accomplishing theCapstone project. Students were required to function as a team in a proficient manner in order toexecute each and every aspect of this project. This allowed them to share ideas and skills and toexamine each others strengths and weaknesses as well as the importance of delegatingresponsibility accordingly. Students shared responsibility for everything from establishing theparameters of the project
laboratories indicated graphical rating scales were used by avast majority [19].A report by Murphy indicated a criticism of graphical ratings is the tendency of managers toassign a uniform rating. Murphy’s report studied Merck & Co, Inc. from 1978 through 1989.Merck managers assigned a rating from 1, poor, to 5, best, based on overall performance. Forappraisals during 1984 and 1985, 97.76% of the employees received a 3 or 4 appraisal rating[20]. The Cornell University researchers found 77% of their respondents’ professionalemployees rated at the comparable 3 or 4 level [14].Another shortcoming of the graphical rating is its inherent relia nce on the rater’s subjectiveanalysis of the work performance behaviors observed and their translation to the

with progressively greater emphasison constructivism.Advantages Of Activity-Based Learning Versus Lecture-Based TeachingOne key concept in educational improvement is that there should be more emphasis on studentlearning as opposed to the process of teaching. Research such as that reported above indicatesthat students learn best in situations in which they are actively engaged in the learning process.Furthermore, particularly in engineering technology programs, students are expected to be ableto perform useful tasks immediately upon completion of the program. There is an emphasis onwhat students can do in addition to what they know. They are expected to critically analyzeproblems and generate appropriate solutions with minimal supervision
