Come up with the plan or and like, draw your freebody diagram. And dynamics is the most commonfirst step for a lot of problems. But really, it's figure out the correct suite of tools to apply to the problem,apply those and then justify that answer. That's the intent.While there were baseline characteristics of good assessment practices such as rubrics and scaffolding, hesaw that students’ approach to learning did not use those elements as he (and other faculty) perceivedthem.

Students’ engagement in their field as wellas their plans to pursue an engineering career or engineering graduate education is determined inpart by an alignment between their personal and professional interests and values in engineeringand curricular messages about what engineering practice includes. For some students, thepotential to leverage engineering for social good is a key motivation for pursuing work in thefield [12

Alternatively (or in addition), departments can rely on various types ofmentoring mechanisms as a means of clarifying the process. One such mechanism, which hasreceived relatively little discussion in the literature, can be found in pre-tenure peer reviews.Many universities have a process by which faculty are reviewed on their teaching, research
