this paper are derived from data collected in a previousmixed methods study (see [9] for an analysis of the quantitative data). The following quoted textfrom that study describes the participants, setting, intervention and mode of implementation: The pilot study was conducted at a large public technical university in the southeast during Spring 2011 in the form of a pseudo-experimental mixed methods design implemented in a single statics course. The course was offered in three sections, each having a maximum capacity of 155 students, with an initial total enrollment of approximately 400 students. Two of the sections were experimental sections receiving the intervention; the single remaining section was

andethical responsibility. Research related to professional ethics has primarily focused onassessment of student learning, rather than evaluation of curriculum integration methods. Alimited number of studies have been published that compare two methods of curriculumintegration, yet no rigorous studies that compare multiple methods of curriculum incorporationare known to exist. Without clear evidence of best methods, the debate will continue, and therewill be no assurance that the methods currently in use are the most effective.Within this paper, a recently completed research program is described that evaluated the methodsof assimilating ethics into the engineering curriculum to determine if a relationship existsbetween the curriculum models and the

Page 13.388.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 A Student Overview In Practical SustainabilityAbstractOne purpose of teaching sustainability in an engineering curriculum is to foster civicresponsibility and develop informed citizens who are responsible to their professions,communities, posterity and to the world. This paper provides a series of five reports authored byundergraduate students which portray the student perspective on green construction practices andhow the implementation of such practices impact on sustainability in real world applications.Students explore various techniques for construction professionals, property owners and policymakers that promote the aesthetic and economic benefits of
. The term “evaluation”characterizes one or more processes for interpretation of the data and evidence accumulatedthrough assessment practices that (a) determine the extent to which program outcomes oreducational objectives are being achieved; or (b) result in decisions and actions taken to improvethe program. Use of multiple assessment tools and measures is imperative for (a) the programoutcomes, i.e., knowledge and capabilities of students at the time of graduation and (b) theprogram objectives, i.e., the expected accomplishments of graduates during the first few yearsafter graduation.The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the assessment data collected for a specificcomponent of the curriculum (structures), over at least two
