– rewardsavailable to each lab group are based on group outcomes, individual rewards to group membersare based on a collective assessment of each member by the instructor and by the group.II. Desired Outcomes / Laboratory ObjectivesBackgroundIn accordance with ABET outcomes oriented assessment, laboratory objectives are shared withstudents at the beginning of each laboratory, as are the instructor’s desired outcomes. The courseobjectives are measurable goals that indicate how well the instructor’s laboratory outcomes areachieved.Benjamin Bloom (Bloom, B., and 1956 Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: Handbook I,Cognitive Domain.

thatstudents are not familiar with most of which are easily observed with simple experiments.Therefore, this course is well suited to the use of active learning techniques integrated with thestatic elements of the course.Assessment of active learning and other educational materials is commonly done by (a)comparing student performance (normally, final course or other grades) of sections or groupsusing the materials to sections that didn’t use the materials, (b) measuring time-on-task, and (c)student satisfaction questionnaires. Although such measures give considerable insight intoglobal performance, they don’t measure things such as effectiveness of individual exercises,change in student knowledge base and change in their perception of knowledge gained

not looked to universities to fulfill its appliedresearch needs. This paper examines some of the reasons behind this condition, including thecontinued emphasis some universities place on traditional Ph.D. programs that are geared to thepreparation of students for faculty positions rather than entry into industrial careers. Theeconomic downturn has forced industry to cut back on internal R&D expenditures, making iteven more important to find ways of encouraging industry to partner with academe to help meetthe continuing need for technological innovation. This paper focuses on some new developmentsin engineering doctoral education that meet this need while continuing to satisfy academicprogram requirements. The new approach calls for a

Aformative evaluation model was used to establish an assessment loop; teach, practice, test andimprove, as follows. Overall course-learning objectives for ART 165 include the understanding of these for each chapter. The student should be able to complete the following objectives on each material type: a.

This analysis was to be centered around the work actually performed, the technical ability of the work performed, the timeliness of the work performed and how the student could have helped the other group member become more successful. As the potential for either glowing student evaluations or outright physical conflict was great, these reviews were submitted confidentially and independently. The individual student reviews were distributed to each student at the conclusion of the class. Each group was required to have a weekly

want to have done differently. Also, there aresome ways the program could have been different to suit me better, but the job of the program is doing the greatestgood for the greatest number, not the greatest good for me alone, so there aren't quite as many ways the programcould've been different to do its job better as there are it could have to have served me better. Nonetheless, I thinkthere are some improvements between the program and its potential, and I'll try to point them out based on myopinions. First things first, I got an A-, B-, and a B in my 3 classes. I could have gotten an A, an A, and an A, had I donethings differently.

othersresponsible for their implementation. In November 2000, we asked five students from theDepartment of Industrial Engineering for their interpretations of five performance-basedoutcomes for graduates of the program. We wanted to document in their own words—not ours—what the students thought the outcomes meant and how to assess them. Four of the outcomeswere selected from a list of eleven outcomes developed by the Accreditation Board ofEngineering and Technology (ABET) for all engineering disciplines. The fifth outcome wasdeveloped by the department and was specific to industrial engineering. Four students mettogether in a series of three focus group discussions. The fifth student was interviewed alone onthree separate occasions because of scheduling
