The college administration found merit in thisviewpoint and in 2001 initiated a series of workshops for all of its new teaching assistants ondifferent aspects of their responsibilities. All new TAs are now required to attend an introductory3-hour workshop called “Survival Skills for Engineering Teaching Assistants,” a 1-hour sessionon sexual harassment, and at least one of three 1.5-hour workshops on (a) grading homework and Page 11.1018.7tests, (b) assisting in

the systematic pursuit of improvement in thequality of engineering education that satisfies the needs of constituencies in a dynamic andcompetitive environment. Although institutions may use different terminology, for purposes ofCriterion 3, program outcomes are statements that describe what students are expected to knowand be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviorsthat student acquire in their matriculation through the program. For the purpose of accreditation,engineering programs must demonstrate that their students attain:(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering;(b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data;(c

overthe course of the semester. Because the first project was guided and straightforward, whereas thesecond was industry-sponsored and much more open-ended, it was expected that tolerance forambiguity would have a greater impact on the variables measured for the second project. In otherwords, the personality trait of tolerance for ambiguity was proposed to be more relevant whenthe project demands involved a higher degree of uncertainty and abstractness. Specifically, thefollowing hypotheses were proposed:(1). Individuals with higher tolerance for ambiguity will report higher levels of: a. self-efficacy, b. collective efficacy, c. satisfaction with the team, and d. conflict resolution.(2).

Unlike the engineering students,humanities students were recruited from School A only.The sample consisted of 32.5% females. However, among the engineering students included inthe sample, women constituted only 21.2% – a number similar to the 2004 national average forfemale enrollment in bachelor’s engineering programs14.

In this first game, those tasks were to a) conductmarket research to discover people’s preferences in pens and then b) apply what waslearned in the selection of components for a pen to be manufactured. All groupsperformed much better than chance: were users to randomly select pen components, theexpected score would have been 43.8% (represented by the dotted line in Figure 9 andshaded region in Figure 12). This shows that the users were able to understand the criticalfeatures of the tasks and execute them, thus gaining an understanding of the presentedcareer field.

Grades in theinterval [60, 100] are only used as there is no achievement of ZULOs in case a student fails acourse which means a grade less than 60.

effectiveness by traditional definitions. Second, the approachwill need to fit into the complex schedules and contexts of educators since simply spending timelearning about teaching may not be possible. For example, given that engineering educators (andfuture educators in the form of graduate students) are busy, approaches may need to help themsolve actual problems they are encountering or be aligned with other requirements that theeducators must meet (e.g., preparing materials for annual merit review or tenure review, getting ajob). Such a framing suggests two questions that can be asked for any approach to helpeducators become better educators: a) to what extent does the approach lead to learning ofknowledge and skills related to teaching and b) what
