learningoutcome into three components: reading comprehension [N/S LO2a], critical understanding [N/SLO2b], and informed judgment [N/S LO2c]. The blind evaluation used an aggregate figure [N/SLO2] for these three elements, which is compared against an average of the instructor’s threevalues at Times 1 and 3. This “critical understanding” learning outcome is the primary metric bywhich student performance was measured.In addition to course learning outcome evaluation, seven additional ASHE Education forSustainability (EfS) learning outcomes were assessed: 1) Each student will be able to define sustainability. [EfS LO1] 2) Each student will be able to explain how sustainability relates to their lives and their values, and how their actions impact

(If the time interval selected is50 units while the unit switch was selected to be 0.1 s, then the count will take place over (0.1 x 50 =) 5seconds.) There is also one digital display that can show either the current count or the time lapsedduring the count. The display can be toggled back and forth by clicking on a button below the digitaldisplay. The device works as it would in real life, so the student must understand how to use it.Procedures for the two virtual labs developed so far are very similar to the procedures student follow inthe physical lab.

Theinstructor then asks students to evaluate each property to see if it is known or unknown. Maybethe property is clearly given in the problem statement, or it may be determinable from theinformation given in the problem statement. Students are encouraged to find two properties thatare either known or determinable. Again, students appear lost when T and P aren’t thedeterminable properties. In some problems, T and v may be the determinable properties, thenthis leads to a sequence of steps to determine how to evaluate other properties such as P, given Tand v. In many cases

Using the most current MIDFIELDdata (which includes more recent data than reported in Ohland et al.’s paper), we find that amongthose who graduated in engineering, more than 10% began in a non-engineering discipline. Ofthe over 7000 people who graduated in engineering but began in some other discipline, almost40% came from other science and math disciplines, which is unsurprising since many of theprerequisite courses in those disciplines are the same as for engineering, making the transition Page 24.1186.2easier with
