experience contributed to more immediate student buy-in tothe use of system’s engineering principles. Also, members of the samurai-type sword groupsbeing substantially similar to the previous year meant that many group dynamics issues hadalready been worked through. For the NASA ESMD group, there were only 3 seniors in theeight students and, as the project was new, no prior directly-relevant design knowledge existedwithin the group. This resulted in longer time for student buy-in to occur and for the group Page 15.904.7dynamics to become settled. Also, the previous group development in the samurai-type swordgroups had led to the natural leader(s

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
