Divisionwork-in-progress at ASEE 2016. To determine relationships between dispositions and reporteduse of student-centered strategies, the Value, Expectancy, and Cost of Testing EducationalReforms Survey (VECTERS) was developed based on expectancy theory and tested with 286engineering faculty among the 20 largest colleges of engineering in the U.S. The student-centered practices examined were (a) using formative feedback to adjust instruction, (b)integrating real-world applications, and (c) facilitating student-to-student discussion.Factor analyses led to determining construct groupings of items that were generally aligned withVECTERS’ design. Faculty using strategies in their classroom more often were more inclined toperceive value (particularly for

, before having any conversation with the faculty member, the Associate Deanbegan doing some research on the situation (Tactic 1: Do your homework). Grades for allgraduate courses in the M.S. program were examined, going back three years, by course and byinstructor. Results were pretty interesting and illuminated the situation. All the other faculty inthe program typically assigned grades of A and B to students enrolled in graduate courses. Onlyon an exceptional basis, was a grade of C assigned. Meanwhile, for the faculty member inquestion, his median grade was a B, with an equal number of A and C grades assigned each timehe taught a graduate course.In the next step, the Associate Dean scheduled a meeting with the faculty member in question
survey,and establish a time in which the survey instrument could be discussed. The following areexamples of questions faculty were asked: a. When you were asked to participate, what was your understanding of what your participation would look like? b. What is motivating you to use the survey this term? c. What are you hoping to get out of implementing our survey? d. What role do you see this type of survey having in your class? e. Do you see assessment of student engagement having a purpose or impact on you as an educator?Interviews were recorded and transcribed, with data gathered informing the second series ofinterviews.Phase 2 – Sensemaking of survey itemsIn the second set of interviews, which occurred
-Slot Concept and Slotted Aluminum Extrusion (A) (B) Figure 4: Parts Needed to Install the Frame TogetherIn order to correct the error, new screws with the length of 8mm were ordered. The Plexiglas wascut according to the dimensions measured directly from the top of the wind tunnel as 12” x 12” x24” (Figure 5A) and the motor was installed onto the frame by drilling into the Plexiglas alongwith the universal hub attachment. After everything was set up, it was realized that the laserreflection would not be able to hit the center of the wind tunnel. Therefore, both frame and thePlexiglas was re-cut according to the new dimensions of 7.5” x 12” x 24” (Figures 5B

That is, we do not expectWReSTT-CyLE to replace existing learning management systems such as Moodle or Blackboardalready in use, or significantly change the content of the syllabus or the instructor’s teaching style.We recommend the following steps instructors may follow when using WReSTT-CyLE in theclassroom. We assume that the instructor is familiar with the learning content - DLOs and tutorialsavailable in WReSTT-CyLE. 1.
