Students were asked to complete the personality indicator onlineoutside of class time and then report the results on an in-class survey.

Basedon the overwhelming success of this program, this one-semester trial was extended for a secondsemester.IntroductionThe ECE faculty at Boise State University has experienced an extended period of dissatisfactionwith poor student knowledge and poor use of electrical test and measurement equipment(T&ME). Typically, graduate students were used as lab assistants, but the majority of thesegraduate students had only slightly more experience with electrical T&ME than the students theywere tasked with helping.

assessments included regular homework and Matlab assign-ments. For this to be effective given the accelerated pace of the course, it was necessary to findoptions for feedback other than manual faculty grading. Peer grading has proven to be consistentand reliable when used with massive open online courses (MOOCs). Luo et. al studied nearly 2000peer graded assignments and found that scores were not statistically different than those graded byan instructor.4 Beyond the benefit for the student being graded, peer grading forces the studentgrader to engage with the solution and provide constructive feedback to their peer. For the Mat-lab assignments, feedback was given through an automated grading tool called Matlab Grader.5Though this is a fairly new

somecompanies’ web sites to see these steep prices. Engineering professors thus find themselves inneed to develop experiments with little money or no money at all.Another issue engineering professors are faced with is the number of students taking a given lab.For a large cohort of students registered for a lab, there is often a lack in the number ofexperimental stations to run the same experiment for all students in the time slot allocated for thelab. Professor are forced to group four, five or sometimes six students in one team. This lowersthe quality of the learning experience, as some students ‘tag along’ without really payingattention or trying to learn from the experiment.

Academic libraries can host review courses and ask their engineering faculty to teach one hour reviews in their subject specialization. Graduate engineering students are also a good resource to teach general subject matter reviews such as mathematics, statistics, and engineering economics, which are common to all the FE exams. Purchasing and making “approved” calculators available for check out to students.

Students were sorted in to bins of 100-90, 90-80,80-70, 70-60 and <60. Means scores for each of the metric values were then calculated for eachbin. The bin data for students with a course grade <60 were omitted again due to low number ofstudents in this bin (4/157). These data indicate an increasing relationship in each metric valuewith the course grade.
