In this unique survey, presented to thestudent not as a course evaluation but as survey of the student‟s opinions of his/her own learning,students are asked to evaluate their own ability to understand and apply the course knowledgeand skills objectives. Students are asked also to rate the course various learning opportunities –lectures, text, laboratories, etc. – insofar as each opportunity aided their learning in each courseobjective.The survey has provided valuable new information to the instructor to measure and meet notonly continuous improvements in

At our institution, The College ofNew Jersey (TCNJ), it was felt that the Department of Technological Studies, housed withinthe School of Engineering, was well positioned to provide a unique K-5 academic major bycombining the T&E with the M&S components of STEM, resulting in a program breadth thatmatches well the breadth of skills needed by a highly skilled K-5 teacher.Such a program was established at TCNJ in 1998 and is formally referred to as the Math-Science-Technology or MST program. The program has substantial requirements in allSTEM areas, and takes a truly integrated-STEM approach. To the authors

. Reputation systemsA reputation system is a way of measuring the reliability of ratings. Scores assigned byreviewers and metareviewers can be factored into a student's reputation. Several algorithms[4, 5, 6] have also been published for determining reviewer reliability, based only on thescores assigned by reviewers. These algorithms consider (i) consistency of scores assignedby this reviewer with scores assigned by others to the same work, and (ii) spread, how muchthe highest score the reviewer assigned differs from the lowest score (s)he assigned. Somealgorithms also consider (iii) leniency, the tendency of a reviewer to give scores that arehigher than other reviewers. Research [6] demonstrates that these algorithms provideeffective quality control

The learning style assessment gave the students a numeric indicator for theirlearning preference in each category, over a range from -11 (extreme to one side), to +11(extreme to the other side). Using this information the course and lab instructors assigned elevengroups with 3-5 students in each. Groups were assigned such that they had a roughly equalrepresentation of gender and majors and had an “average” learning style for each group that wasbalanced within each of the four categories. We did not mix undergraduate and graduatestudents. It was obviously impossible to perfectly mix the groups, but the average learning styleof

The founding of the ManufacturingConstituent Committee at the ASEE conference at Southern California in 1981 was one of thecritical milestones. Another occurred at the ASEE conference in Salt Lake City in 1983, whenover coffee during a break in the sessions, the notion of a workshop to explore curricular identitywas first broached. The question formulated at that time was as direct as it was simple: “If youwant to teach someone to be a manufacturing engineer, what do you teach?” The
