common goal.A serious problem facing instructors trying to achieve this goal is to evaluate individualteam member’s roles on the team, and to create a team spirit and sense ofresponsibility among all members.In most team projects, the instructor uses a model that evaluates the final product andprobably a final presentation. The current model does not address the individual teammember’s roles in the preparation stages or in the ability to present their work. Theproject grade goes equally to each member of the team in most cases. Furthermore, thestudents who need more training on teamwork skills can be in the shadow of their peersand miss the opportunity of acquiring these skills. Therefore, the instructor will not beable to distinguish between

Engineering graduates today require not only adequate technologicalability and problem solving skills, but also must be equipped with soft skills, business skills,inter personnel and intercultural adaptability.Now, the emphasis should be on self learning and the role of teacher is redefined as facilitatorto enable the students to be more involved in active learning through laboratory.

This hands-on lab work provides students withconcept relevancy, integrated knowledge, and technical skill required in engineering jobs [1].Hands-on and project based curriculum are examples of inductive learning techniques whereinductive learning reverses the traditional method of deductive learning. In deductive learning,a theory is presented to students and examples are then given in illustrations, in-classexperiments or homework exercises. In inductive learning, the process begins with a set ofobjectives or a problem to be solved. Faculty guides students along the way and the studentsreach an understanding of concepts through

. However, after Brain Korea 21 Project (1999~2005), at themany research based institutions, the focus of evaluation has become to move fromundergraduate education to research. Most professors in Korean engineering colleges have beenmainly concerned about research productivity, while showing indifference to the quality ofteaching because they were largely evaluated on publications in SCI-rated research journals inorder to be successful in tenure or promotion. If a professor's research performance is competent,students’ poor rating won't be an issue. The faculty evaluation of teaching has not beenconsidered as important as research.

The instructors set up the mastery bar for each objective using statistical indicator which is normally a percentage. The objectives are directly tested through student’s evaluation tools such as exams, projects, homework. Each instructor is to calculate the average performance of the class towards each objective and record the data. Some of
