Since you have considerable flexibility in how youformulate your T&L portfolio, use that flexibility to your advantage.As with creating any document, you always want to consider your audience carefully. YourT&L portfolio has many potential audiences, many knowing little about the specific details ofyour discipline. This means that how well written and organized the portfolio is will be moreimportant to many of the audiences than the content.

All teams successfully escaped all 6 rooms in anaverage (h:mm:ss) of 0:43:50 [range: 0:14:30-1:07:28]. Very few groups used hints, as moststudents did not want to be assessed a time penalty.

The tremendous increase of students in the program has led to shifts in the 2-course sequence. This paper will present the 2-course sequence with a focus on recent changesto accommodate a higher student to faculty ratio, as well as course instructors workingtogether to ensure a seamless transition between courses, including continuity in designprojects. Specific changes include using peer mentors in large classes, a focus on careerknowledge and skill building through these courses, and

Another resource is the research librarian at the university library; we have asked them to make a targeted presentation to our students. Finally, we have developed a research guide, which we handed out to students to show the proper format for report writing, and it contains suggestions of how to use engineering databases and what not to do when using internet resources.AssessmentInitial assessment is subjective.
