Why Assess? “Educational assessment seeks to determine how well students are learning and is an integral part of the quest for improved education. It provides feedback to students, educators, parents, policy makers, and the public about the effectiveness of educational services.” (excerpt from Pellegrino et al. [1]).Assessment, evaluation, and measurement are important facets of university education. Marzanopresented the following definitions of important assessment-related terms by synthesizing theworks of various classroom assessment experts [2

This usually takes the form of either a field trip tothe practicing engineer’s company or bringing the engineer to class as a visiting lecturer. Forreasons stated above, this becomes a challenge in the online environment.Oral communication is an important aspect of any engineer’s career. For this reason, it isemphasized in the traditional introductory engineering course. Given that students aregeographically dispersed and courses are generally delivered asynchronously in the onlineenvironment, including an oral presentation into the online delivery of the course is a majorchallenge.There

This program was created in order tobetter show educational benefits, quality of learning, and retention and graduation rates. Sincethere are no standardized tests for the Essential Learning Outcomes (ELOs), there was a need todevelop a way to document and assess student learning in undergraduate education.The VALUE project was driven by an advisory board made up of 12 people, national andinternational leaders. The main goal was to generate a way to evaluate student learning that wasbased on the work students produced through the curriculum across a set of Essential
