Page 13.1340.11using it again, but in expanding its use to explore additional topics. Initially, it is also importantthat faculty feel comfortable leading the simulation; the‘Train-the-Trainer’ workshop, on-sitesupport during the first run of the simulation, and the simulation documentation all contributed tothe success at Sites 2 and 3. Longer term, we are evaluating the importance of ongoing support,reflective activities such as writing articles, and opportunities to participate in case developmentas ways of keeping faculty engaged to sustain changes.The results from these initial implementations are being used to refine assessment tools, as wellas to inform the process for future implementations. Several additional universities will be

, p < .001. 16 In addition, a seven-year longitudinalstudy using the full NEO-PI-R tested long-term stability. For the five-domain scale, coefficientalphas that ranged from 0.63 to 0.81 were found for both men and women.15The second instrument was the Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI).17 The TIPI wasdeveloped to provide a brief measure of the Big-Five personality dimensions and has been foundto have adequate convergence with widely used Big-Five measures in self reports; test-retestreliability; and, patterns of predicted external correlates. This tool was selected to evaluate a testinstrument which may provide a more compact tool for engineering educators.Rotter17 is credited with the original locus of control concept which reflects a
